Designed by the Dinn Corporation of Cincinnati, Mean Streak opened on May 11, 1991 at Cedar Point. The coaster's designer, Charles Summers, was also on the design team for The Beast at Kings Island. In 2016, the ride was closed. It was redesigned for the following season by Rocky Mountain Construction and converted from an all-wooden coaster to a steel on wood type. It was then renamed Steel Vengeance for the 2017 season.
