Masked_Maverick Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 If Magnum is Maggie, and Millenium Force is Millie, what is Maverick? How about Mavis? -rbpia Mavy? Mavs? Hmmm any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKULLY Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Theming, no theming, theming, no theming, no theming, some theming, no theming, theming, the end. Truthfully, I'm happy to see coasters once again being built just to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Mavvie too. Or, we could just call it Maverick... hmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Yeah... Since both of the earlier nicknames end with "ie", Mavvie is definitely the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 ^Why are you nicknaming a ride that isn't even open yet??????? Besides, who really cares about that, anyway?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 This is interesting..... For those of you who were doubting some of the original AquaTrax rumors, have a look at this.... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=251913 --Robb "Who thinks there might actually be some truth to that!"

gotdane Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 It definitely seems like it coulda went something like this: CP - Hey, Intamin! We want an Aquatrax...Design one for us! Intamin - Okayz! Don't worry, it will roxorz! CP - Thanxorz! *month goes by...* CP - Wait! Aquatraxorz capacity suxorz! We want Rocket trains! Intamin - Okayz! Don't worry, it will still roxorz! Regardless if it went down like that or not, the ride should be a blast! (And it reminds me of RCT, too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStitch626 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Flag is a sign of accomplishment I guess. Like how they put the tree on Sheikra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkchan Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think it is because of the top is finished and respect of 9/11 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It has nothing to do with the date, its entirely tradition among steel workers. Our Goliath was topped off on Veteran's Day last year.. coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 In fact TTD was topped with an American and Canadian flag if I remember correctly. (some of the workers were Canadian). So nothing to do with 9/11. Edit: Here's the pic. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 KK was topped with an American flag too. I think its just a tradition, like someone said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdane Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 To answer the whole "Topping Off" thing: www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3732/is_200110/ai_n8986046/pg_1 Yup, it's tradition for an American Flag to be placed at the top of any steel "erection" when it reaches full height.

coasterlover420 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Erection...(tee hee!) Yes, I believe they do it for bridges as well. (which aren't quite steel ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Man, the running of the bulls is gonna be like the Boston Marathon, seeing as Maverick is all the way at the other end of the park. That's like two miles. Of course, it is down the MF leg of the park, drawing people away from TTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 ^ The smart people would enter at the soak city entrance. That wouldn't really be all that far of a run. Though really I can't see there being a running of the bulls like there is for MF. I know I'm not going to waste my energy running to this ride.
