We rode in the back seat. Big mistake. Now I wish I would have ridden it again in the front seat.

I rode Maverick last Wednesday. The park seemed more crowded that day than when we went back on Friday (must have been the girl scouts). Anyway, it was my first trip to CP and Maverick was my favorite coaster there. We had to wait in line about 2 hours because of unexplained "mechanical problems," but very few people left the queue at all. We rode towards the back of the train and had a great ride. Water cannons were working because I had water in my eyes and couldn't see the track for a few seconds. I don't remember any mist effects being on in the launch tunnel. Maverick had a good mix of everything--launch, inversion elements, speed, air time, laterals, etc. That's why it was my favorite coaster there. I was a bit underwhelmed by Millennium Force. I guess I was expecting a little bit more from a 300 foot coaster, given all the hype I've heard since it opened. The weather on our trip was excellent and we had a wonderful time!

Nice Trip Report so far Wes! When I was at CP last week we had to wait in line for 2 hours to ride Maverick because it had "mechanical problems." It was a good ride when we finally got on it. I guess what suprised me was that very few people left the queue when the ride was down. Everyone stayed put (probably because they had already waited for over an hour like us) and cheered when the stacked trains unloaded, test trains ran, and riders once again boarded the ride.
