Maverick best ride in the park? Yes or no

^^Well duh! It starts at the top and drops.......last time I looked, Dragster needs to be launched to get to the top.;)

Maverick starts at the top of the lift? How's it get up there? Oh yeah, it's "launched" to get to the top. :)

I need a few more rides before deciding for sure.

^^And that's why I love both coasters.:)

Sometimes Dragster gets to the top and starts rolling backwards. :)

So does Maverick.;)

Maverick is definitely my Favorite ride in the park..its so amazing and awesome DEFF number 1 on my list.

Well, as you know thepoint4life23, MF is still my favorite, but it's a very close competition between that and Maverick. Maverick is also a Top 5 coaster now after my 4 rides yesterday (3 in front, 1 in back), and assuming the line isn't too long, I don't think I'd ever tire of riding it!

Good job CP! You've got a real winning on your hands with this one!

P.S. Definitely don't miss out on a night ride in the front if you get a chance!

P.S.S. You've also got to get a Maverick Walk-Down from the last brake run! It's all the rage... the new Dragster Rollback! ;)

No, TTD.

The way Maverick dives through all that theming, it almost seems to belong at Busch Gardens or Sea World. Instead of comparing Maverick to Millenium Force, I almost want to compare it to Kumba or Montu -- and in my book, tentatively, it wins that competition. Gotta say 'tentative', because I've only had the one ride on it so far.

In some ways, it seems like Maverick redefines the archetype of what a roller coaster should be. Anybody else know what I mean? It's like . . . it's a coaster's coaster. It's more of a pure, high voltage roller coaster experience than almost any steelie I can think of.

In terms of favorites, I'm beginning to think of Maverick being on the same level as Millenium Force and Phantom's Revenge. I've never gotten up to ride Superman: Ride of Steel, so it would be interesting how that would enter the mix.

I'm rambling. Somebody slap me.

Maverick is a good coaster but it's not near as good as Raptor and it's not as good as MF. I think the fact that the seats and OTSRs are rather uncomfortable (head/neckbanging) breaks the deal for me.

Raptor...front row...first drop...nothing's better.

^ Push your head back into the backrest and you will be fine.

After my first ride on Maverick, I thought it was my favorite coaster in the park, but after riding Millennium Force and Magnum, they were back on top on my list. Go MF and Magnum!

After my 1 ride Monday and 28 rides today I would have to say Raptor is still my favorite, but Maverick is definitely my 2nd favorite!!

They took all the good things from MF (smoothness, airtime, turns) and created one heck of a great ride!

Although I wasn't a very big MF fan to begin with, we did ride it today after Maverick, and I have to say that besides the 1st hill (which is and always has been totally awesome) the rest of the ride was less than exciting.

Millennium Tony looked real fetching in his Maverick t-shirt and hat...if that says anything!!! ;)

Maverick is taking over. Who would have thought??

I really would have never thought people would have liked it this much. When it was first announced it looked like an alternative to Corkscrew to me.

Your mom is to fat to ride TTD. said:
I dont know what the big deal is about MF. Yeah it is a great coaster but #1? The only thing on MF is the overbank turns. Thats it.

You obviously do NOT enjoy AMAZING first drops or you would have not posted that. BTW you lose your stomach more on the MF drop than on TTD's.

Eventhough I have not ridden Maverick yet, it's going to take alot to knock MF off my #1 spot.

Honestly, I can never get over looking at the MF drop and 1st over-banked turn through the trees of Frontier Town as I say to myself, "nothing is better than that ride"......................period.

I havent ridden many coasters out of NE ohio but Maverick is a definet winner

Ride On!

If Mav can beat Maggie, I will be quite surprised.

I will see in June.

Maverick is in some new kind of bizzaro ride world that it only shares with one other ride; Voyage.

The most intense coaster at CP, for sure. I'm with Ensign on this one.
