Pepsi Orange Streak (formerly known as Pepsi Ripsaw) is a custom Zierer roller coaster located in Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America.[1] It is located in the west side of the park, and debuted with the park in August 1992. The track color is green with cream colored pylons. The Orange Streak used to have rustic looking, mine cart themed trains when it was known as Ripsaw, but around the time The Park at MOA became Nickelodeon Universe, these were changed to sleek orange trains.
Some of its features include two lift hills, a tunnel through the Log Chute, and three large helices, twisting its way through the park. The Pepsi Orange Streak's station shares space with the Rugrats Reptarmobiles in a blue building with designs similar to the front of many Pepsi bottles and cans. The ride is sponsored by Pepsi (Mall of America's official soft drink) and Nickelodeon. The Orange Streak sits by Rock Bottom Plunge.
History[]
Pepsi Orange Streak opened as the Pepsi Ripsaw when Camp Snoopy was opened in 1992.[2] The coaster was renamed the Pepsi Orange Streak during the rebranding as Nickelodeon Universe.
