My guess is that Presiden of Intaride Sandor Kernacs will be the first to ride since he always is. Then your CP people then media then GP.

I want to be the first to walk through all the queing before it get's trashed out with gum, etc...
From a rendering of the Maverick site (found on the cp site) it sure looks like WWL's old station will be filled in with concrete and used to herd the mass of people that will flock to this ride.
I'll get to ride before the park opens. I get to go with the media. Media day is usually 2 days before the opening. If T & T did a contest, it would probly be then. Because that is the only ride open that day. And u get from 5 in the morning till 2:30 in the afternoon to ride it (non-stop)

Millennium, I think your thoughts in regards to the purpose of Media Day are a little off...

The early bird gets the late worm. That's all you're getting out of me for opening day.
As for Red Cross, I may try for that this year.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
As others have mentioned, if you want to be first, get a pre-season 07 work crew job and pay attention to rumors during the last 2 weeks. They had a couple chances to ride Maxair before it's media day and I'm sure they will do the same for this ride. It's probably the best and only perk of working in April and the first week of May. Nothing like non-stop cleaning!

I was on the first ride "train" for Tomb Raider at Kings Island. Me and my dad bought the tickets. Very fun day-and worth the money. I forget how much we spent for them but it wasn't a whole lot, and the money went to the red cross.

That tomb raider ride always has a freakin huge line.. i hate it, the ride isn't even all that great. Off topic but Kings Island needs a new coaster and bad... the italian job sucks.
First to ride Maverick will be me. I had first Public Ride on Maxair after waiting 5 hours for the park to open. Same as Skyhawk. I always have first TTD when I go.
After all saftey tests are done, and the state gives it some basic form of approval, the Steelworkers and carpenters, and any one who helped build the ride, are the first to ride... kinda the reward (on top of your check) for your hard work. Then comes the CF Guys, Park Ops Guys (Supervisors ect.), then media and contests(After full state certification). This is pretty much standard at any new job site. If you watch any of the discovery channels specials that show a coaster being built, they discribe this process.

Even from there it will be a long run. If I don't get a red cross ride, I may not even ride it opening day.
