Colin, believe me when I say that it's hyped up for a reason

 

And I'm auctioning my wet seat off on ebay... thank you very much!

So... have they revealed the secret plans to make Maverick into an aquatrax yet?

 

Just wondering.

[CP_RULES]

^I rekon you aint been seen in these parts here lately.

[alpengeist04]

^I think TheArchfiend's remark was in jest.

[CP_RULES]

^This I know. I was more saying it because he was always around in the speculation thread talking about "Aqua Trax" "Aqua Trax" "Aqua Trax". But, when we learned it was NOT an Aqua Trax, he hasnt been seen much around here since. Get it?

I second that.

[TheArchfiend]

So... you guys are all saying that it's not an aquatrax? But thats like the only type of coaster that Intamin makes.

 

I still think it's going to be an aquatrax.

[SharkTums]

Anyone who's been to Cedar Point knows that this will turn into an Xtreme Aquatrax at least 4 times a week when a sudden downpour nearly drowns us all!

[dandaman]

^Actually, I got my first CP downpour in July, out of about 10 visits prior.

New video on the Maverick homepage.

Wow, Cedar Point... leave the movie making to Hollywood and stick to building theme parks and rides. I turned that video off at the two minute mark of complete and utter horribleosityness. That video was so bad that I had to create a new word to describe it.

 

The ride still looks cool though. This aquatrax is going to rule!

[CedarPoint420]

^Belive it or not that actually was a company from California that made the videos. Cedar Point hired them.

 

But, that video wasn't as good as the last one. The last one made more sense.

Looks like they're trying to copy the hype machine of Mystery Mine, but they announced the ride before the movies came out, then they come out with installments... (to be continued...) ??? Looks like someone doesn't understand. This movie should have been released before construction was completed, probably before much track was in place at all. This kind of hype, like Dollywood did, only works when you release a little bit of information at a time. Not after you do a huge press release with all the ride stats.

Awww its cute!

[Milkchan]

mmmm can't wait to ride these babies , but its going to be my first time

[Satoshi]

oh i did expect to get restraints like CP giga for rider's good comfort

but CP has turned it down a bit like Mavelick got added OTSR with its

lapbar! but maybe it's for stayin' away from rider's arm chopping

since the promo let me see Mavelick goes thru real small tunnels!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

THANK GOD I may be going to cedar point this summer!

Acutally there are OTSR's are because of the 1. Inversions 2. More than vertical drop and so beople can't somehow wiggle out of their lapbars like some people have managed to do.

[matteocrepaldi]

Nice seats! Can't wait to see more pictures! The restraints looks pretty confortable.

[BDG]

Still the old restraints huh ?

 

I would have expected the newer "seatbelt" system Intamin is testing on their Ball Coaster (ZacSpin) at the moment.

Oh well, maybe Port Aventura or Heide-Park will have them.

right: no actual shoulder-restraints, but something ressembling racing seatbelts
