[quote]i'm just wondering why everyone likes Maverick so much? i say this only because i hope it isn't because people are hopping on the bandwagon of "the new roller coaster rocks!"
Why does everyone like it so much?
-Incredibly strong negative gs, some of the strongest out there
-Insane launch
-Awesome first drop
-Fastest banking rotations ever
-Strong positive gs
-Lightning quick pacing
-One of the best pairs of inversions ever (Twisted Horseshoe Roll)
-Incredibly intense
Maverick > All other steel coasters in the world besides Phantom's Revenge and Storm Runner
And it's not even close.
Cross out -One of the best pairs of inversions ever (Twisted Horseshoe Roll)-You haven't ridden many loopers if you think that and its already been done to better extents. Example Batman the ride. And its not a new inversion!!
-Insane launch-I found nothing insane about that launch.
-There are quicker bank rotation. Again in batman the ride and several other inverts. Particularly in the wing overs.
I have ridden it and i thought it was fun and all but I enjoy B&m loopers much more.
No, I disagree with all of that. I have ridden a lot of loopers, including three of the Batman clones, and none of the inversions even come close to the twisted horseshoe roll. Maverick takes that inversion at a perfect pace, and you just float for what feels like forever. What did Batman outdo it with?
I also don't think Batman's inversions, or any other inverts, even come close to Maverick's last stengal dive. You can literally blink and be almost all the way through it.
The launch is a personal opinion, but I disagree because one, you don't know when the launch will actually begin. Two, the lights and smoke in there is awesome! Three, it exits into a turn which has some of the strongest positive G's I have ever felt, and four, the exit of the launch tunnel is so small, it's a major arm/head chopper.
And then, there are still the rest of the points that IntaminFan brought up.
Ok, sooo, Maverick pwns everything!

Ride Batman in the front, and Ride Kingda Ka or Top Thrill Dragster. And ride El toro while your at it so you can get over your Maverick pwns everything logic.

I have actually ridden all 3 Batmans in the front, as well as TTD and KK in the front. Rode El Toro in the back and front too many times to remember, and still, Maverick is much more intense than all of them.
