June 14th- 21st!

Making a 10 hour trip from Missouri for the week, first time we have been in a couple of years. Hope to have a good week of weather and looking forward to riding Maverick for the first time. Also if anyone knows what are the crowds like for morning ERT. I was hoping to get alot of rides in on MF and Raptor during these times. Any help will be appreciated.

If you are there during the week the crowds are not too bad, but weekends can be a little crowded (now that most schools are out). I suggest parking in the Soak City lot for ERT and ride Maverick because it can have a 1hr 45min wait during the day, during ERT you can ride Maverick about 4+ times. If you would like to ride Millennium during morning ERT head to the Marina Entrance, it is a short walk from the main parking lot, you can ride Millennium about 3+ times during ERT! I would not suggest Raptor for ERT because it usually has about a 30/45 minute wait during Mid Afternoon!

Have a great trip to America's Roller Coast!!

Thanks, that is good to know. The last time I went Raptors line was not long but I didn't know how things have changed. I will definitely ride Maverick during ERT then. I heard it had a long wait during ERT also, but it has to be shorter than an hour and 45 min.

My method for ERT is this, Maverick first (usually <10 min,) walk to MF (5 min) MF (10-20 min,) wait for TTD to open at 10. Raptor will have its shortest wait usually just prior to the start of twlight passes (which I believe is 5.)

So everyone agrees Maverick, then MF. If you do Maverick first can you get more than one ride on MF? Also Maverick has ERT that thursday night, would it be worth it to stay an extra hour for that?

^Depending on the crowds you can probably get one ride on Maverick, take the trail to M. Force ride probably twice depending on crowds, head to Dragster right before open and be done by about 10:30 (depending on where you sit and when you get in line)

Definetly go to Maverick ERT that Thursday, I have never been but have heard that people can ride about 5-7 times in the hour!

I will definitely be there for the ERT Thursday night, I haven't been back since Maverick was built, and for some reason I am more excited to ride it than any other ride. I guess it is all of the good things people say about it, and the POV's look awesome.

HEy! Well now you've left, but I'm gonna be there for the weekend of the 20th and 21st :
Have a great time, I know I will.
