cprocks22 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Just saw this on T.V, has anyone else seen the new Maverick spots? The only thing that sticks out to me is that they call it the worlds only terror coaster... . Also it looks like the "Prospector" is going to be a major character. EDIT: Also theres a new blog http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I don't know about everyone else, but a "terrain coaster" to me is a coaster which hugs hills, valleys, rivers, etc. Not a coaster built on flat ground which happens to spend alot of time right on the ground.

Eric_Smith Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 This is turning out very good. I have a feeling that it will be ready in time. This here is a serious head/hand chopper!!! Are they positive that my hands won't get chopped off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaminacan11 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 ^Hmm..almost reminds me of a superman symbol on its side.. That will certainly give a crazy headchopper effect though. I am really liking how the ride is turning out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkchan Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 New update in Maverick construction Gallery. http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/latest/gallery/ Is the queue really going to this small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The update is fantastic. With regards to the tunnel, will it totally be dark or will they have some type of lighting effect? From Tony & Tyler: The tunnel is still a surprise. In fact, we're not going to even mention it - you'll have to ride it and experience it for yourself! It will be wicked awesome. Ideas?

Carnage Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Is the queue really going to this small? I'd guess that's only a portion of the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I think there going to have some lighting effect in there, I'm not sure who but someone already said something about old fashioned lanterns that flicker and go out or something to that effect, which would be sweet and very un-Cedar Point.

awclark Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ^^ Look at previous updates. That's just the queue house. There is still the old WWL outdoor queue with a few switchbacks. Cedar Point never puts in a small queue area. They are the king of huge queues (well maybe IOA supasses them with redundantly long queues and at least 3 overflow areas per ride). Look at Magnum and Mantis and especially Raptor, MF, TTD, and Mean Streak. Those queues are huge! (they always go by quickly though Plus this ride appeals to a much larger crowd because of the lower height limit. It's a huge, thrilling, and fun attraction for everyone 48" and up. I doubt the queue will ever be empty this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ^The sad part is, most of the queues actually fill all the way up! Ever waited through the entire queue line for Raptor?

coasterlover420 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Doesn't Mean Streak and Mantis has the longest queue length at Cedar Point? Let's use proper English, shall we? When I went, Mean Streak and Mantis had the shortest lines there. I'm not sure if this is because it wasn't very crowded, but the longest ones from my experience are TTD, MF, and Raptor.

Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 ^ I think he means the actual queue. Then in that case yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I would say Mean Streak and Dragster do...Mantis' doesnt seem that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awclark Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Raptor's queue does suck to wait in when it's full. It was about 3/4 filled when i went back in '05. I don't think Maverick will have the largest queue, but it will be somewhat big. Queue wise, I think Mean Streak or MF are the longest. In the photo of Mean Streak's queue below, you enter go under the track, go through 1 switchback, then through 3 massive switchbacks and then it seems like a 1/4 mile walk to the station. That seems like it could hold a 3 to 4 hour line. MF's queue is just like 6 to 8 switchback areas it seems all crammed into that one area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 3 to 4 hour line You have to realize that those are the kinds of lines the Mean Streak would have opening year. Back on topic, It is looking like the weather won't exactly be co-operating on opening day. Luckily, I'm going for the weekend, so maybe sunday will have nice weather. EDIT: I just checked again, and opening day is set to be nice and sunny. Couldchange between now and then though.
