Maverick's Magic

Ahh. I never really got this coaster, and why everyone liked it so much. But damn, this one really got to me.

Yeah. MAV powns. [:D]

I was so mad after I got back home after a fabulous trip to Ceder Point. The day after we took practically a 12 hour drive home, the press releases came out on Maverick. Some day I will ride you Maverick, ahhhhhh... Some day

So yeah, you BARELY missed Maverick's opening day!

well no. but the way we plan our trips, we go to around 1 themepark in the summer for fun. So if we just delayed the Ceder Point trip by a year and went to another park, I could have ridden Maverick. I know how it sounds... rediculous.

If you "never got" that coaster, then...you've never ridden it...

I was there in July '06, when the track was showing up and sitting in the parking lot. Missed it by an off season :\

i went opening day i was like the 2600th rider im actually at cedar point right now and its empty its awesome

^Sorry, but...nobody really cares past the first twelve riders. But opening day, good job. Must've had long lines...

Not that this entirely pertains to the subject at hand, but this reminds me... I was browsing the Cedar Point website the other day comparing rider-capacity amounts on various coasters. I was very surprised to see this...

Top Thrill Dragster:
Capacity........Approximately 1,500 riders per hour
Maverick:
Capacity........Approximately 1,200 riders per hour

I hardly believe it. Thoughts?

^ train lengths for sure

[gouldy]

how can you hardly believe that? Look at the length of the trains first of all, then the rate of dispatch on TTD is pretty good in all fairness, for a dual loading station anyway. Then TTD is like 30 seconds long, whole ride. What is there not to believe?

Anyway, this video is a really good video for sure. But I fail to see how it adds anything about the ride that would make you change your mind from not really understanding why other people like it so much. There's nothing that we haven't all seen before in this video.

i didnt really understand the post how can you not get the coaster i just dont get it
