News: CEDAR POINT ANNOUNCES DETAILS ON NEW ROLLER COASTER; MAVERICK WILL RUSTLE UP RIDERS IN 2007

Thanks Kyurthich, that cleared it up a bit. I've grown a great fondness for Intamin, that only an American arm (as I assume Intaride to be) can emulate. I did notice though, that on the Cedar Point website, they still haven't completed the myspace background code for use. I guess I'll have to endure another sleepless night waiting for that! And just because I feel like saying I told ya so to somebody (who remains nameless) this is finally not an aquatrax! Haha anyways I'll see ya guys around the park! I start training today for that one kilo run! If someone knows the exact distance, let me know (endurance reasons)!

what a great ride

The marketing department really hit one out of the park with the anouncement. They have buddy icons, Avatars, myspace theming and everything. The Maverick pages on Cedarpoint.com are jsut amazing. It also helps that the ride is going be awesome.

Ok, maybe I have to be hit over the head with this one. Am I to believe that this ride will be referred to as an "IntaRide" rather than an "Intamin"? I mean, I know now that "Intaride is the U.S. division of Intamin". So, who built this ride? Will I be in the wrong if I said "its an Intamin"?

Yeah... um.... thats my myspace layout..... I'm a dork. Hey there are worse things to be all hyped up on.... like heroin or meth. At least my addiction is healthy!

Awesome ride, just awesome. CP has needed something like this for a while. It's got a little bit of everything that there is to love about a ride. I agree that the marketing people did an increadible job of having things ready to go with this announcement. The video podcast I think will be my favorite new feature assuming they do more than two updates on it during the winter.

Maverick is going to be a crowd pleaser for many years to come.

it looks like cedar point meets busch gardens

Honestly I'm more excited about this than I would be about a 500 footer

I havent been this pumped for a coaster since Millennium, Man I feel like im 10 again! Well its been real. Time to sleep goodnight all!

Alright, so after watching the POV about 10 times, and checking out every link possible on CP's site about Maverick... I can finally head to bed so excited that I will probably lay here the rest of the night with my heart pounding with excitement, and not sleep a minute!

Well worth it. The marketing is definately amazing.

The intro video for it just got me uber excited (as if I could get any more). The music is INCREADIBLE... oh! and so is the ride!!! ;)

Does anyone know if this ride will actually dual as shown in the action sequence animation? That would make the ride in itself. I'm interested to see how the six train system is going to work. From what I've seen, only two run at a time. As for the ride involving water, it appears to go under spraying water in the former swan boat pond...very interesting move..

Dude.... the ride looks sweeeeeeeeeet! lol

I woundering how they are going to run 6 trains on this. Maybe two trains in the station, two on the track, and two on the brakes maybe?

I just said that, copy cat.

CooL!!!!!

I like the fact that CP stuck to the frontier theme. Especially with the 'Disney' type scenery.

Maverick will be a fun coaster (I can say that now)

Looks like a pretty good ride. Not uber impressive but good. Its a great addition to the park, cant wait to ride.

i cant belive it's six am and this fourms 2 pgs long

lol

Nice coaster. :)

Great Coaster. Can't wait to ride it for real.

Wow. I personally think the website for the ride is just as good as the ride itself. I love that they have most of the videos in an iPod format (something to do in accounting, a friend and I are always at least a half chapter ahead) and that they are doing a podcast now.
