If Magnum is Maggie, and Millenium Force is Millie, what is Maverick?

 

How about Mavis?

Mavy? Mavs? Hmmm any suggestions?

[SKULLY]

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.

I was thinking Mavvie too. Or, we could just call it Maverick... hmmmmmm.

[vjgx]

Yeah... Since both of the earlier nicknames end with "ie", Mavvie is definitely the best...

[DATman]

^Why are you nicknaming a ride that isn't even open yet???????

 

Besides, who really cares about that, anyway?!

[robbalvey]

This is interesting.....

 

For those of you who were doubting some of the original AquaTrax rumors, have a look at this....

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!)

Now that I think of it...Knotts is getting the lower-capacity Aquatrax.

 

Watch.

Whats with the whole topping of the coaster and the american flag thing?

[GMAN962]

Whats with the whole topping of the coaster and the american flag thing?

I'm not sure.....mabye cause it's 9/11?

[DarkStitch626]

Flag is a sign of accomplishment I guess. Like how they put the tree on Sheikra.

[Milkchan]

I think it is because of the top is finished and respect of 9/11 .

[ParkTrips]

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.

[Carnage]

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

[CP_RULES]

KK was topped with an American flag too. I think its just a tradition, like someone said earlier.

Yup, it's tradition for an American Flag to be placed at the top of any steel "erection" when it reaches full height.

[coasterlover420]

Erection...(tee hee!)

 

Yes, I believe they do it for bridges as well. (which aren't quite steel )

[Calvin]

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.

[Carnage]

^ 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.
