Maverick Rocks!!!!

This ride is really awesome... maybe it was the rain, but I thought I felt a water bomb hit me going over the water about halfway through the ride when the ride was upside down. (I rode about 9:30 am) I got in line a little after 8 am and seeing the line grow to HUGE at 9 am was pretty cool to see too.

If it wasn't for the first hill on MF, this would be #1 on my list after one ride in the front car! The speed was much faster than expected, it was pure adrenaline start to finish, whatever the line, this ride is worth the wait!

This ride is simply mind-blowing. It's nonstop action-packed and never lets up. It vaulted right into my top spot instantly. There isn't a dull moment from start to finish. The lift on this ride is even a rush. To pick a favorite element on this ride for me is impossible. The whole thing is a masterpiece of engineering and design. I'm speechless, it's that good.

Cedar Point and Intaride have a big winner with this ride. My expectations were high going in and it exceeded that by leaps and bounds. Kudos to CP and Intaride. *** Edited 5/26/2007 9:44:07 PM UTC by sky kicker*** *** Edited 5/26/2007 9:45:22 PM UTC by sky kicker***

I was wearing a pendant around my neck with some of MrScott's remains in it and the dang thing hit me on the top of my head at one point!

Perhaps that was Mr. Scott's way of saying "Maverick is Freakin' Awesome!"

^^ Right after the replaced S-Bend.

anyway, I just want to say again that That lift hill is extremely awesome... its so quick, and it surprises you at first when it first gets you going. I felt like I was gonna be launched out of the train on the forst drop, simply amazing. So how do all the other seats compare? Anyone sit in different locations on the trains yet? So far I really like being thrown around in the back of the train.

Got two rides in today: One in the very back, and one in the very front! Don't let the first hill trick you- it's out of control AMAZING! Back seat throws you over, and with the turn immediately at the bottom allows this hill IMO to be more intense than Millennium!

Front- amazing as well, you can see a lot more clearly, and its just sweet! This ride is everything people said it would be- and then some! Also, the queue line is very easy to wait in- western music, and it moves fast and there's a lot of change!

Its funny because I had the layout memorized probably like you all- but it sill surpises and tricks- its unpredictable- ITS AMAZING!

One thing's for sure- with all the amazing rides at Cedar Point- Magnum, Maverick, Millennium- IMO its almost impossible to pick a fav. each ride provides so much that I can't say its better than another or at the top of my list- I JUST LOVE CP COASTERS! Can't wait for you all to ride it- you'll love it, its pure fun, you'll come back laughing and wanting more!

Goodnight folks, it's 01:11am where I live, so I'm hitting the sheets now. Thanks for all the great reviews, those will make my dream about Maverick even more! :)

Looking forward to Walt's update when I wake up.

I got my ride in at about noon, front car, second seat, left side of the silver train. The ride really suprised me, it kind of reminded me of Stormrunner at Hershey Park alittle. The change in direction, the feel that you're going faster then you really are, and that first hill makes this a great ride. I wouldn't say it's the best ride in the park, but it's sure in the top 5, maybe the top 3.

Maverick also proves that you don't need a huge record breaking, over the top coaster to make an awesome ride.

I give it an 8.5 out of ten based off my one ride in the rain. There was some headbanging.

How did the handing out of the free t-shirts go, was it chaos or was it orderly.

Also who do you get your voucher from?

Glad to hear it is an awesome ride with or without the heartline. I cant wait to ride it on Mon.

Troy I am glad you got to experinence this "last ride" with your brother. I am sure all of us hear are glad that we were able to be a part of something special for someone who hit a hard time at the wrong time.

Anyone get the on-ride photo? How did those turn out?

Interesting that the water cannons weren't on, maybe with the rain CP figured there was enough water action...:)

Great to here all these excellent reviews. I only have two questions: what is the best seat (front, middle, back)? And how is it at night? (I understand no one has ridden it at night at this point yet, and I will wait a day or two for this answer) I'm assuming it will be even better at night then during the day like most coasters.

^^^ they were handing out vouchers right after you got off the ride, redeemable at a shop in the front of CP by the main gate or a store by the train stop in frontier town. ( can't remember the names of the shops). T-Shirts are cool, says "First Rider" on it with the maverick logo, I'm getting one each day! :) *** Edited 5/27/2007 12:32:33 AM UTC by All Wet***

The two roll backs we had this morning at Red Cross were cause by the first train NOT being in position at the second stops in the tunnel at the right time. At the third run you notice we did not stop just slow done before launch. That kept timing, "that we were clear for second train to launch. GREAT RIDE, maybe best in the park.

The shirts are being handed out at the Emporium (near train station in frontier town) and Park Plaza (near main gate).

when can we expect some photos :)

I'm taking my video cam with me on monday when I go try and get a fleece zip up, should have the videos up monday night.

oh my im going on monday too with my camera maybee ill see you lol

I looking to get there extra early, and hope to get a nice spot in line. lol
