New Maverick Photos: May 3rd

That exit sign fits in with the western theming so well.

I like the whole station set up. It looks very nice and it shows that CP can do theming.

How does a generic exit sign fit into the western theme so well? I don't get it. The only thing different about it is the case is black instead of the typical white. It's not like they "themed" it at all.

^^^I think it's safe to say it has. Doesn't Sandors do onride checks on new coasters anyway?

No riders untill it passes state inspection. At that time they sent a train with Intamin and Cedar Fair/Cedar Point managers. After that, regular employees may get a chance to ride. Media Day guests hop on soon after. Finally the ride opens and everyone gets a turn.

For comparison's sake, Dragster had it's first riders on Tuesday April 29th 2003. This was 4 days before "opening day." I just so happened to witness that and remember that date for other reasons.

I actually rode it already. Its ok.

Just "ok".....not really enthused about it eh?

No, I just got a kick out of saying I rode it. I wanted to see how long it took before someone jumped all over me! If I had actually rode it, I would be bragging like crazy!
I am positive this will be an exciting ride. Much more than a Sheikra or Griffon type coaster.

It was sarcasm.

5 more days until Maverick!

That sure turned out to be one sexy station.:)

This isn't a Victoria's Secret themed coaster! :)

Hmm I was just thinking, what if playboy decides to build the world's first adult themed park. Sounds like something they would try. Just saying, even though it is completely off topic. ;)
