Dear Keith:

Enclosed are revised plan and profile sheets P-1 and P-3, showing 
the proposed changes to the layout in order to respond to 
increasing the height of the highest continuous bent and for the
revised tunnel layout.

Latest information we have on Cedar Points' new wooden roller 
coaster, "Mean Streak" which is under construction:

   From ACE publication:      lift height          160'
                              drop                 160'
                              track length       5,427'
                              28 passenger trains (PTC)  

   From John Pierce sources:  lift height          166'
                              drop                 158'
                              track length       5,178'

Basically, following are changes we are proposing for our layout:

1.  Shift lift structure forward over the cliff approximately
    64-70 feet, in order to increase height of highest single
    bent from 150' to 174' high.

    Overall structure height above quarry floor elevation 980 to
    remain at 176 feet high and first drop to remain 169 feet 
    high.

    This design will cause encroachment of the highest bent
    adjacent to cliff into the minimum distance established by
    Park engineers.  This will need to be addressed.

    Other effects of this shift:
 
         Low point of drop will be closer to the cliff wall.

         Steeper incline up the next cliff.

2.  Revised tunnel layout is per previous re-design submitted
    directly by John Pierce.

3.  Tunnel has tighter radius, and designer has elected to
    continue this same radius on around to the right as the track 
    exits the tunnel, actually extending the running length of 
    track approximately 80-90 feet, which will give a longer 
    parallel "fly-by" at the station. 

Should you have any questions about these proposed changes,
please contact us.  Pending hearing anything to the contrary from
you, we will proceed with development of this layout and profile.

                               Sincerely
