Maverick Track Replacement

Thanks Jason for making the trip and getting the pics. That definately looks like Sandor.

I'll be there for sure on Saturday now.

Great.... If they open this weekend I will have to retract my bid on the first rides :( Dang you Work and School!

Here's to hoping for a memorial day weekend opening!!!

I know we're all bummed about the heartline- but after looking at those photos, I think the "s-curve" is going to be a lot of fun!

That, without a doubt, is Sandor Kernacs.

Wow.. this is so exciting! Don C., if you're out there, thanks for the seemingly ACCURATE info!

Amen Tilt a Whirl! I will be at CP Saturday early AM. I was going to go to Geauga Lake but for Maverick I will gladly delay going to GL.

To touch on what someone said earlier about the pull through, I saw the plywood clearance board heading toward the site on a forklift today while I rode Mean Streak. I never saw them run it through with the caster setup, but that is pretty interesting to hear. I was wondering how much of a mess it would be to try to get a train (or part of a train) over there for a pull through. All in all it's looking like Saturday is going to be the go date. Makes me very happy, since I leave town for the rest of summer on Sunday. :)

Im in complete awe at how fast this is going. God am I going to have to pull some strings to get saturday off.:)

I think the S-Curve doesn't look like that much fun, but it's a lot better than an empty canyon!

Yay Cedar Point for pulling every string they could to get this ride open!

I will enjoy having 16 rollercoasters to ride for the first time next Wednesday (No Kid Borrowing).

When the first announcement about the delay was made, I was sure I wasn't going to ride it during my trip next week. But right now, it's hard not to be optimistic :)

I told you so... :)

Keep the Faith!

On the radio this morning i heard Maverick was opening May 28th.

Regardless of when it opens, It better be Operating when I go on Monday June 4. By the way it looks like now. I don't think there will be a problem with that date. All I can say for the 2010 coaster is it better not be Intamin. Anything but that. Unless... Nope forget it. Dead set on NO INTAMIN. A Nice smooth woodie or a A Twisty loopy B&M. I am pushing toward the more inversions area. I think inversions is something CP lacks. But the ones they have are sweet!

^Who, What, When, Where? o_O I'm so confused?? I can hear false advertisement.

That or it may not be bogus. Remember T&T said that once a date was chosen It would be all over the radio and TV and so on.. It might not be but who knows.

I can assure you that no coaster from "Intiam" will be build. :)

I just called Red Cross to confirm the details of my bid (only put it in last night) and they said they still don't know when the ride will open but that they'll be calling all the winners once they do know. If it opens Saturday I will not be able to go, but the person I spoke to said he doubts it will be Saturday..

..Al

Monday would actualy be better for me. I have to be in Columbus for a Grad Party Saturday. Plus I was going to try and be at Kings Island for the Firehawk opening. It's not my most favorite ride, but I find it hard to pass up a free T-Shirt. :)

where is the video with Sandor on Maverick?

It is an interview video on the Maverick website.
