Just do it. The launch isnt really scary, IMO the scariest part is going up the tower at 90 degrees. I was a little nervous of Dragster my first time but after the ride I was like, Why was I afraid of that? So just do it, its really not that bad and there is nothing to be scared of.

2. Magnum XL 200
3. El Toro

9. Hydra: TR
10. Wicked Twister
Wow. Maverick is the best steel coaster I have ridden. It is amazing! Airtime, inversions, a launch, and just an overall great experience. I LOVE IT!! My new #1!!
No it really doesnt affect anything at all. Every time I've been on it since they slowed the lift down ET gave the same ride it always did. I know, its hard to believe. I didnt even believe it myself when I first heard of the news. But, it really doesnt affect anything thank god.
