The Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park (Tribute)

On November 1st, 2019, the famed Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park operated for the last time. Designed by Edward Vettel and built by the T. M. Harton Company and opened on May 23rd, 1938, the Blue Streak was one of only 2 surviving Edward Vettel designs and one of only 2 surviving shallow track wood coasters. In March 2021, the park was sold to Philadelphia developer Todd Joseph who has lied about his intentions for the park and has broken the terms of the park's sales agreement. Since then he was destroyed most of the park. On January 4th, 2022 Todd Joseph demolished and burned the Blue Streak. As one of the greatest tragedies in roller coaster preservation, we can never forgive an act so selfish and horrible.
