Maverick Rocks!!!!

I am almost sure that you can obtain the Joe Cool Club with the Maxx pass, but don't quote me on it.

As for the other rides in the park, they were relatively a quick wait. The longest I waited was an hour for Dragster just b/c it broke down due to the rain. MF was 30 min. roughly, but as the day progressed, the lines got longer.

I was actually surprised that it wasn't that busy today being Memorial Day. Probably b/c of the rain it wasnt that busy. I'm almost sure that the lines will be even shorter on Monday.

Yes, you can get the Joe Cool on a CP issued Maxx Pass, that's what I got. :)

^^ your train got stuck in the tunnel, as a result our ascent on the hill was stopped near the top and we rolled back :)

I WAS ON FIRST PUBLIC TRAIN TO ROLLBACK ON LIFT HILL, BE JEALOUS

^I'm jealous enough as it is that you already got to ride it!! Let alone your rolleback......jerk......;)

Are the water cannons a cool special affect or do you even have the chance to notice them? I hope to get to ride Maverick Monday June 2 when I go.

^ June 2nd is a Saturday.

I meant June 4th. Sorry

How do you think the crowds will be on Tuesday?

The "water bombs" were not running on Saturday. Based on their placement though, I think that they will provide more of an effect for the crowd watching than for the riders. (similar to the water effects on Sheikra or Hulk) Regardless, Maverick still ROCKED yesterday! *** Edited 5/28/2007 2:59:33 AM UTC by Top Chill Snowcones***

Wow, it looks as if Maverick may be closed at the moment. The cam captured an image at 1:28:51pm and they were running emptry trains, and you could see a person in a blue shirt walking the track. (presumably a maintenance worker).

Right now there is a train on the transfer track and no trains runnng as of 1:32:30. I was watching the cam most of the morning and no train was on the transfer track yet.

Edit: i just saw the gold train run with people on it. flase alarm. ;)

Gosh, that would be a huge bummer to travel to the point today, only to have Maggie and Maverick closed.

Aw man, you guys made me so freakin jealous! I missed it by one week :( But now I have most likely my new favourite coaster to look forward to in October :)

In response to the question asked about other wait times:

No. I believe when Dragster first opened (keeping in mind its wonderfully flawless operation /sarcasm) it was four hours, maybe more.

Not sure about MF or Raptor opening day, anyone know?

What are water bombs?

Re lines yesterday:
TTD:2 hours
MF: 1 hour
Raptor: 45 min
Everything else was <20 min when I was around them.

^..Maverick was 20 mins.?..i doubt that..

I just wanted to add my opinion of Maverick. It is my new favorite. The adrenaline rush is from the first hill to the station.

I do want to warn people with broad shoulders though DO NOT PUT YOUR ARMS UP! I have a bruise on each shoulder from the harness although I couldnt resist putting my arms up on all three rides that I took.

Opening day t-shirt vouchers were being handed out by Monty Jasper. I was rider #280 on opening day and #502 today.

I got stuck in the launch tunnel. It was kind of cool creeping half way through the tunnel at 1mph! A guy came through a door into the tunnel and pressed a button to manualy move us at about 5mph almost all of the way through the tunnel. Then he launched us. It was so cool because we reached 70mph in 0.5 seconds! This ride is so awesome! It's insane! It's wild! It's crazy! Uf you haven't already rode this Maverick, you got to as soon as you can!

I hope it's as good as everyone is saying. Me and my friend are going in 9 days and we look forward to a wonderful ride on it. I don't want to wait in line and have a crappy ride. But with the other coasters at CP, this should be a really good one. So i suppose it'll be just as great. =]
