Ride more intense from mine tunnel after full stop...

Absolutely agreed with OP. I rode it twice last night, once it came to a near full stop and once we just kept on scooting forward and launching from a near stop was definitely more forceful (imo) later on.

i have to say the "launch" is my favorite part of the ride. Maverick and Dragster are the only 2 that get my adrenaline going to the max. I havent been stopped completely in the tunnel to tell you if i would or wouldn't enjoy it yet. We had little to no stop when we rode memorial weekend.
