Is the oldest coaster in Ohio now the Blue Streak at Cedar Point? With the uncertain future of the Big Dipper I would think that it would be now. Does anyone know any different at this point? |

The Big Dipper is still the oldest coaster in Ohio, and until it's torn down or moved to another state, the title of oldest coaster of Ohio will go to the Little Dipper at Memphis Kiddie Park. It's got the Blue Streak beat by 12 years. _________________  |

The oldest woodie in the state will become Sea Dragon at Columbus Zoo's Jack's Jungle Landing, built in 1954. I believe. (Haven't checked rcdb.) |

What Bella said.
Basically, it's SBNO, but I doubt there's a single plank on that coaster that wouldn't need replaced to make it operable again. |
