jason10 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was just wondering if Maverick at Cedar Point was worth the wait as I have heard people say it is not. To me it looks good but I couldn't really say as I hvae not ridden it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yes. Just watch out for the spiders which haunt its queue and like to drop onto unsuspecting coaster enthusiast. Â Seriously we counted more spiders in that line than any other place on the entire Midwest trip. Â The ride itself is pretty good and the speed of the LIM lift hill is cool and very surprising on your first ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It's so worth the wait. 95 degrees down is awesome, all the quick transitions feel so powerful, and the air time is just amazing! Then there's the launch with a lot of special effects, the horseshoe roll which is perfectly heartlined, and the turn around and final 90 degree banked turn and the stengel dive. Hint: Ride in front and then back, if you can. Also, night rides are way better and increase your ride by about 50%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It's worth an hour wait ONCE. After that I would probably wait 30 minutes max for it. This of course is my opinion. It was a fun ride, but not as amazing as some are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefitness Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yes, Maverick is definitely worth waiting for. It really just depends on how much patience you have while waiting in a long line. Â Yes. Just watch out for the spiders which haunt its queue and like to drop onto unsuspecting coaster enthusiast. Â Seriously we counted more spiders in that line than any other place on the entire Midwest trip. Â The ride itself is pretty good and the speed of the LIM lift hill is cool and very surprising on your first ride. Â I saw spiders all over CP when I went. They were freaking everywhere!

Homer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ^Spiders everywhere at CP? I take it you haven't been to Indiana Beach yet. Â Anyways, Maverick worth a several hour wait? I'd say 90 minutes for me. However, you could be hardcore and wait 8 hours like some people did on the Midwest trip. Â I personally liked Maverick so much that it became my 3rd favorite coaster. Like fitness said, if you have patience, wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Single rider queue FTW! lol. Â Â It's an enthusiasts best friend in Thorpe Park... I got on Stealth 5 times in about 8 minutes last time i went... Others queued for 45 mins and up for one ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'll have to agree with Elissa. Maverick was -ABSOLUTELY AMAZING- the first time, but just "amazing" the rest. Well worth an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Wouldn't closing your eyes have the same effect? Â I don't know, but the everything after the S-bend at night comes really unexpectedly. It would probably work, even though they have a couple lights shining on it (at night) . Â I haven't been on many rides, but there was just something special that I liked about this ride, like the perfect mix of a whole range of elements. I don't know, but it seemed more than good to me. Â If I would wait in normal lines for it, I'd only wait for the full queue probably once or twice. My opinion is probably different than a lot of others because I got over an hour of night ERT (seperate from Midwest Trip) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ^what event was it for...and when was it? Â I think waiting in the normal que would be long enough for me. But if it was your ONLY chance to ride it then you shouldn't be mad waiting for then 4+ hours for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Maverick's Single Rider Line is the most pathetic excuse for a single rider line I've ever seen. Â Basially after you've waited 98% of the line, it let's you split off into a single rider line, and the few people in our group that tried it waited longer than those of us who didn't! Â LAME!!!

ParkTrips Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm lazy as can be so I wouldn't bother waiting more than 20-30 mins, which means I didn't ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Maverick was definately worth the wait. I rode it in June and waited 2 hours for front row. The line moved quickly, but we had to wait through two breakdowns. Maverick has everything a good coaster needs in my opinion, besides height, a big drop, a zero g-roll, and a cobra roll. The ride was very forcefull in all directions. I have it rated as my #2 steel coaster out of the 200+ steel coasters I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason10 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Cool. Sounds like Maverick is a cool ride! I don't think I will be going any time soon though. Ah well. I guess I will just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was your ONLY chance to ride it then you shouldn't be mad waiting for then 4+ hours for it.  It was a special privelige for Joe Cool Club members. It was one night last summer, and they do others things different nights with other coasters as well, but our vacation landed right over Maverick ERT. It was pretty cool!

thefitness Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 The single riders line might as well not even be there! At some point in time they need to extend it to the front entrance so you can choose, Single Rider or normal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms13 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Worth about an hour and a half wait. Not much longer. Â Also, last time I was there, they were pulling single riders from the end of the line to the single rider line. I was mad because I waited a whole hour and people were passing me, and I was a single rider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It is so worth the wait!! I waited an hour and rode it at 10:30. So worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCoaster Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've only been on it once and it was easily worth the approx. two hour wait. We were in the back seat which was by far one of the more intense rides I've been on. Â In my opinion it is an absolutely amazing ride, but I was also not willing to wait the hour and a half to go on it again since I only had a day to do everything in CP. If you have more than one day, I'd probably go on it again if the wait is 1 - 1.5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustkill22 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It is worth the wait but it does get to a point where its not. But, for sure the bruises on my shoulders were well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogmom Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yes. I've waited much longer for much worse coasters (one of them is next to Maverick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
