That was one of the most exciting constructions to follow, because you had no idea what kind of coaster was coming to Cedar Point. Maverick seemed so out of character.

Hard to believe it's been almost 9 years since construction first started on Maverick in 2005 when WWL was removed!

 

Oh dammit you made me feel old!

Was going through some old pictures and found some Maverick circa 2006 as it was under construction!

 

Enjoy!

 

This is when it ran the best! No QDC - "quick direction changes" to beat you up. Especially your neck with your arms up riding. I still can't believe they haven't replaced the restraints with the soft ones like I305. That would make it more comfortable for me. Come on Cedar Point!!!

Honestly I've never had an issue with Maverick's restraints at all. I'm not sure why so many people complain about them.

 

The only thing I have an issue with is that the same people still have to bring up the same 'problem' (that not even a majority of people have) eight years later.

Same here. Rode it for the first time last year, had a little bit of an issue. After that, no issues during our ERT. Do people get on a ride and sit there like a rag doll?

Same here. I think its a very comfortable coaster car.

I love Maverick's restraints. When I first rode in Summer of '07 I got popped in the jaw on the 2nd turn but my lesson was learned after that.

I personally love Maverick's restraints because of how loose they are but my friend had issues with the ride because of the neck pains others have complained about. I think that's more because of how sudden and tight Maverick's turns are. My best advice is to brace your head by leaning it the same direction as the turn. Once I did that I couldn't feel a thing but even my first ride my neck barely bothered me.

Maverick is usually the longest in the park. In May, though, it shouldn't be too bad. Last year I went mid week May and there were lots of school groups there. The line was an hour most of the time. But it's definitely better than the summer days.

^^ That's no fun that way. I like to ride with my arms up, and let the ride have it's way with me. That can't happen with Maverick, I'm sad to say.

Maybe it's because the area is still a construction site but Pipe Scream looks a lot larger than I thought it would for some reason. It really dominates that side of the midway.

I'm going to the park the week of June 9th. Should I have seriously long line issues, or should I be fine if I just want to hit the credits only? What would be the best day to go, and what would be the best course of action to ensure maximum coaster riding? I believe the plan is to go from opening to closing with small possibility of staying at Breakers.
