The theming didnt even look like it was close to being finished! This is kinda funny.

[robbalvey]

Anyway, anyone else wishing that Maverick was the rumored dueling flyers? Probably would have been alot more reliable

Um. Yeah....Hi.

 

Tatsu was delayed too.

 

Nice try, though!

[jcf1]

I personally do not care, because I will not be there until June 24th.

WE arnt going till june 24th. dont forget whos taking you So yeah i am still really looking forwarth to this and i am now thinking about coming on the midwest trip (goes and talks to dad!)

This is so funny. Someone made a huge mistake........

 

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!

Thanks. The news I learned today is just why I did not ask my parents to go. Instead, I can wait a year or two and go. Then I am pretty sure that it will be open.I hope........

This will never happen at dollywood!! Are there videos of it going thu the soon to be removed heartline roll?

[Garet]

Does anyone have a picture of the heartline roll that shows how tight it is, from all the pictures i have seen it didn't look too bad. The ride looks like something worth trying, one of these days i will have to get off this island and visit Cedar Point and my 1st ever six flags (hmm now considering on my placement year, trying to find a place somewhere in the U.S.A. just so i can spend my days off trying different parks. Education first, honest)

This is the only one I've seen:

 

BTW, when did the park announce it would be open for the 12th? I don't think I ever saw that.

 

I saw the media day announcement, but never a date set for an official "opening day" for the public.

 

--Robb

[Divv3k]

The only place I saw anything close to an opening date was on the FAQ on the ride's site:

http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/facts/faq/

 

When Will Maverick Open?

 

Maverick will officially open to the public when Cedar Point opens for the 2007 season in May.

For a heartline roll taken at speeds over 50mph, shouldn't you be in the center of gravity?

Here's a pic from Cedar Point's website.

Thanks for that, i can see what people mean now, the other pictures didn't do the tightness (if thats a word) justice

[snuggles]

This whole thing makes me Well technically, it may not make me laugh after the is taken out

[bigjohnson51]

God I hope this opens by June 11th...

[CP_RULES]

I have always thought the roll looked horribly shaped, and I'm sure the location after a 70 mph launch doesn't help anything.

 

I really hope that the entire roll isn't removed, and that they are just modifying it. It looked like an awesome element!

These are most likely the three sections being removed.

[Loco]

^ Ive never really seen how tightly that heartline roll is, but I always knew that Heartline roll was going to cause a problem.

 

I hope they don't take it out though! That's one of the parts of the ride im really looking forward to.

[Milkchan]

I think Intamin and Cedar Fair relations could be broken, now back to BM.

[Garet]

Ok guess i was wrong all the picsture i'm seeing does seem to show it being fairly tight especially with what it is placed after

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?)

[hemmy]

I died and went to heaven on a few B&Ms

[supermanrosfan0810]

I knew that from the animations that the cars went through the roll too fast. glad we're going in August!

I think the only accident that i have ever heard of from B&M was the hulk rollback and as far as i am aware nobody was injured, and besides that i don't think B&M had anything to do with the launch part of the hulk where it rolled back.

^There was also the girl who choked on gum while riding Raging Bull. It had nothing to do with the ride, though.
