lllama Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 It looks fantastic, if only we had something like that down under you guys that are un happy with the coaster wouldn't survive down here may many llama's great you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think Cedar Point knew what they were getting into with these record breakers. If you continually open record breakers, fanatics will begin to expect them, and I think that's where any dissapointment would come from. I still think it's a great (and wise) addition for CP.

apollo210 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This ride looks like a GREAT coaster. This ride will have great Airtime, intense launches, Steep drops, good theming, and 3 inversions all in one ride. This ride should be GREAT! A great choice for Cedar Point!

CommanderLock Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I am kind of disapointed in the people who expected a 500-footer or some kind of record breaker. Incredibly disapointed. Do we all want a TTD or Kingda Ka with just another 100ft added on? No. Rocket coasters break down more often than what CP has announced. This one provides a "lift" AND a launch. It also has inversions and airtime hills. What more can you ask for in a package like this? If you wanted a giant coaster, then you've been looking at things as if money was no object- Maverick is gonna cost a pretty penny. It's themed, it's an Intamin, and it's got LSM's, luxuries for coasters that cost more money than chains or built by Vekoma. Anyone notice that this coaster has a BLACK horse and RED track. Stormrunner @ Hersheypark has a WHITE horse and RED track. Maybe Intamin has a GREY horse and RED track coaster planned with a similar style planned? Note the trend?

BrownStreak Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Should we start up TPR Calistenics? This will be the longest "running of the bulls" distance ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah_killa Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I had a feeling it wouldn't be an aquatrax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinflowers Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Should we start up TPR Calistenics? This will be the longest "running of the bulls" distance ever! I'm so out of shape I could barely make it past Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCOSurfer90 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I know this is totally irrevilant (if thats how you spell it) to the subject, but what happened to all the people who were banned until the announcement, well ok one of them?

Wes Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 ^ They're banned until CP announces the Aquatrax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This ride looks like it has a chance of being REALLY great, but it couid also be pretty damn booring if the rid is taken too slow, hopefully its not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hmmm.......the running of the bulls wouldn't be too bad from the resort gate. You only need to run past Gemini, across the tracks, and past CCMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I guess it makes sense that they started building the coaster portion of this ride so soon if they are serious about putting some time and labor into theming this ride to what it looks like in the videos. I just hope the theming doesn't look as cheesey as my gut is telling me it might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I like it. 70MPH launch...TRIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Actually if the second stengal dive is bankrd more than 122* then they have a record, because MF holds the record for highest banked non inversion thingie. ^And i don't think thats a trim. It might be to slow the train in the case of a rollback so the launch can slow it down safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wow, this ride looks great... Yet another reason why I'm doing my best to get to CP next summer! Oh yeah, and it's NOT an Aquatrax!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think it looks pretty neat. Sure, it's no record-breaker, but CP has enough of those. Two launches, airtime and inversions, that's enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Quick question: anyone know what this is? It looks like an observation area with no accessibility. Thanks! Could it be a place to keep the coal for the trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I am SO excited for Maverick, I really think that it will take the cake for best coaster at CP. I am very pleased that CP chose to go with a smaller ride with a lot of theming. IMO this coaster looks amazing it has good elements, good theming (maybe, just please NO neon paint anywhere), and hopefully good airtime ! I am very excited for this ride especially since I never really got all that excited for it. Ever since the construction started I have not really thought anything of it, but great job CP! See you next year! '07 will be SO AWESOME!! One of the best years for coasters EVA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Could be part of the themeing Anyway if you go on, http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/ and watch the interview with the guy next to the mass of track, listen out for the bit where he says the the ride will have a 200ft lift!!! No, Sandor said the launch would be the equivelant to having a 200 ft. lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakestar Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It really strongly brings to mind a new evolution of a mine train coaster. I think it's pimp and will also shorten the lines at Dragster and MF. So two thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Ok Robb you're right. After looking at the pics of Powder Keg on rcdb.com it does kind of remind me of Maverick with the launch and lift hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
