The thing is, people are disapointed that it isn't opening on time, but if you really think about it, Maverick really doesn't look on par with some of their other rides.

Make me look him up on Wikipedia, but I found that he has no article on Wikipedia, so I flipped out, and John Wardley was thus inspired to come out of retirement to build...

I'm betting that if the canyon gets taken out, we won't see it until 2008, if at all.

I would hope so, I love the expierence of Intamin's rides, but their reliability track record is gettin a bit ridiculous. B&M's rides are less thrilling and extreme, but they have a great track record for reliability and safety (Has anyone ever died or even been injured on a B&M coaster?)

Unfortunatly, It isn't funny for people who are making a 10+ hour trek out to Cedar Point mainly to ride Maverick, but it turns out to be closed and they can't ride it after all... Nah, that's actually kind of funny! Whatever. I guess I should have expected that TPR people wouldn't be the best people to whine to Anyway, anyone else wishing that Maverick was the rumored dueling flyers? Probably would have been alot more reliable (I know you said we shouldn't bash Intamin, but seriously, what are the chances that B&M would spend 4 years planning and 1.5 years building, just to have it mess up just half a week before the intended opening?)

I'm stuck with the flight reservations, (Well, I could cancel, but I would lose the $300 or so cost of airfare (per person, with two people going), and that would suck. Anyway, there is alot of other things to do, but I am in a bad mood, because I was really looking forward to riding, and everything seemed to be on track for opening, and CP continued to say that it would be open the 12th, so I felt I was safe going for opening weekend.

Basically what I said. But anyway, with just three pieces being replaced, either the heartline roll is staying, but slightly modified, or it's leaving and being replaced by a transition. Either way, it could mean the removal of the canyon that the heartline roll goes through.

You know, I just though of an almost completly impossible but interesting solution. Tear out the first stengel dive, then extend the heartline roll and make an upwards turn into the second stengel dive.

Absolutly not. Chiller's rolls where in a position where the humps made sense. Maverick's roll is low to the ground, and a high element just after it, if the roll does get replaced, it will be with just a flat change of banking section.

Keith made the animations for Renegade and Mystery Mine too, atleast according to his website (http://www.3dvip.com/Portfolio/Portfolio2006.htm)

I live 11 hours away, so it's not like I can just drive up there to ride it any time, and It's too late to cancel my airline reservations. But on the slightly brighter side, I might be able to make a second trip in October. Looks like Screamscape was right again. Whoever they have as an informant for CP info is really good.

Lol, I like girls too Chili is tasty

And I'm there on opening day and the 13th. That is what is making me happy right now.

Batman: The Dark Knight at SFNE, all the way back on April 14th. But that will change in about a week when I'm at Cedar Point for opening weekend.

Dick Kinzel, who then decided not to build a Cedar Fair park in the town because...

Cedar Point is getting something new. Let the 300 page speculation thread begin now. Also, Aquatrax. Actually, if we start the thread now, we might be able to get it up to 1000 pages before the end of the 2009 season, by which time, the rumors/construction/made up junk/AQAUTRAX thread would have no more use.

Linkin Park - What I've Done. I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.

Not on opening day, but every other day Joe Cool members and resort guests will be able to get in early. Yes
