Halfway through my ride on Maverick, this made me realize something; I want to have relations with this ride. I want to gently @$!& this ride’s bright track and watch as its stomach grows over time. I want to gently caress its sensitive stomach and plant soft kisses along its layout, telling it how good of a parent it’ll be. I’ll be the one to quickly but carefully get it to my car and rush to the hospital as it goes into labor. I want to hold its hand as it gives birth to our beautiful infant. I’ll softly shush and comfort my baby as it begins to loudly cry. Forever I will stay by Maverick and my child’s side, watching my little bundle of joy grow, play, and learn. I’ll hug it goodbye and softly cry into its shoulder when it leaves for college. I’ll lay my head on Maverick’s shoulder, reading its beautiful letters it sent to us, telling us about how it’s going and what’s new. I’ll look at the many sunsets to come as me and Maverick sit in our rocking chairs, growing old together. We’ll lock our lips together in one final, dainty kiss as the Lord takes us into his cloudy paradise together. Even then, I will continue to love Maverick and watch my now grown child for the many years to come. What to take away from this is Maverick is simply one of the best experiences I’ll ever feel. Never will anything even come close to what I’ve felt riding this. That is all.

Je pourrais mettre tous les atouts à ce coaster. C'est juste parfait, un véritable monument, légendaire et l'un des meilleurs blitz, intamin, voir même coaster du monde! Si la première partie est déjà excellente, avec cette drop phénoménale, ces changements de direction déments, cette bosses avec un ejector délirant, et ces corkscrew très funs, il n'est rien en comparaison de la folie de la deuxième partie. Vient le launch, et le coaster monte encore d'un cran avec une accélération divine, la meilleure sur un LSM, un whip colossal qui enchaîne sur la bosse trimée mais comportant un ejector, et qui arrive sur le meilleur enchaînement qu'on puisse trouver sur un grand-huit: whip à droite, puis à gauche et un ejector aberrant au cas où vous n'en aviez pas assez. Cette séquence folle qui a fait la réputation de Maverick est quelque chose qu'on ne retrouve sur aucun autre coaster sur terre, c'est juste jouissif et addictif!

This ride is one of the best coasters I’ve ever ridden. Here’s everything I like about this ride. The hill: the hill is set up where it makes you think that it’s a lift hill, only for you to realize that it launches you up it. Yes, that’s right. It launches you. I was shocked when I rode it, mainly because I wasn’t expecting it. The theme: the theme of not just the ride, but the area itself located in, is extremely well done. Let’s just say that I left the ride impressed. The inversions: every inversion is done extremely well and they bring just the right about of thrill and intensity, while still maintaining the smoothness and gliding feeling of the ride. That being said, there is one part about the ride that I don’t like. It needs to be longer. I say this for most coasters, but cedar fair could have done so much more with the ride if they put more land into it and made the coaster longer. But overall, this is an awesome ride. Definitely worth the five minutes I waited for it.

Le meilleur coaster du parc pour ma part . First drop éjectante ,intensité folle, S turn de fou furieux c est d une brutalité insensée mais totalement maitrisée ! le second launch en mode tchou ! tchou ! est superbe et la suite et juste magistrale . La théma est incroyablement belle et réussie . Son seul défaut est que les inversions cassent un peu le rythme fou du coaster notamment celle avant le launch . on en redemande tellement c est bon ! meilleur LSM intamin et de loins !

My new favorite coaster. This is such a great coaster, and absolutely worth the long wait times. I went in to it completely blind with no expectations and was so pleasently surprised. Its perfectly forceful, has a great layout, starts off extremely strong and doesnt let up until the end. A clise contender for my current #1.

I knew this ride was good but I was absolutely blown away by how intense it was, the first launch isn't really that intense but the drop in the back is insane, the transitions can not just lift you, but launch you out of your seat, the airtime is wild and you go through the inversions really fast, this ride is a one of a kind but don't be fooled by it's size.

Maverick and Steel Vengeance are the only 2 coasters I've ridden that consistently make me laugh like a kid. The first drop gives you a solid hit of ejector air time in the back seat. This is honestly one of my favorite first drops, which takes you by surprise because it's not that high at all. The overall design and layout of this coaster is unorthodox and very different from your typical conventional roller coaster. This adds to the excitement because it does things that you're not used to if you've ridden plenty of your run-of-the-mill stereotypical roller coasters.

I expected this to be good when I rode it. However, I was not prepared for just how amazing this coaster is. I have only ridden it twice, both times the same day. An added bonus to this wonderful ride, is that the rides I experienced were different. At one of the "launch barns" where you get launched again midcourse, I had two different experiences. The first ride, we basically came to stop before launching back out to finish the ride. On the next ride, we didn't slow down through the barn. We just accelerated seamlessly. This difference in ride experiences adds a bit of extra flavor to an already very spicy ride. The pacing is phenomenal. It has you twisting and turning and flipping constantly all at really good clip. It is a very intense ride. Which for me, translates to smiles. Even with all of these high speed transitions, it remains remarkable smooth throughout. Add in the location over the water with all of the canyon structures they built to have you fly by, and you have a recipe for a world class thrill machine. This ride truly delivers the goods. Great time for sure.

Maverick is my favorite coaster at Cedar Point. All the elements are fantastic, but it's the non-stop pacing of the entire ride that really makes it so incredible. This is about as perfect as a coaster gets.

Honestly It was a little overhyped for me. Dont get me wrong this is a great coaster and all, but it was not the coaster i expected it to be. still excellent, it has great airtime, its smooth, and the inversions are whippy. although the lap bar does kill it.

I always love when a ride surprises me. And Maverick definitely did. I expected something too intense, it wasn't! Very very intense, but not even a bit of headache, not even a little discomfort, incredibly smooth, second launch is breathtaking, and man that drop...my second/third favorite of all times I think. Wow. The transitions can be a little bit violent and the elements are not that sustained, and I think this is the only downside of this ride. But overall, super approved, what a surprise!

Encore aujourd'hui une des attractions les plus complètes du monde !! Bonne première descente, bon ejector airtime, des bonnes inversions, un launch dans un tunnel intéressant et une attraction agressive en deuxième moitié. Elle a créé son genre de montagnes russes et elle continue d'en inspirer d'autres. En enlevant les harnais d'épaules, elle pourrait être encore meilleure.

Maverick is just incredible. The first drop is insane, the pacing is perfection. I rode both at day and night and it was excellent both ways. I love the inversions, the side-to-side "whippiness", and the second launch in the tunnel is a huge rush. I could lap this and Steel Vengeance all day and have the time of my life.

Fantastic coaster,very long with a complete and intense layout,the pace is crazy and it's poweful for the entire ride very good inversions and turns but the best part was the second launch,very unique and insane. this coaster is also located in a nice locations and there are some narrow pass so unexpected

I went onto this blind, only excited for the launched vertical drop. Turns out, that was the least fun bit. The entire sequence feels sorta tired, barely any faster than a chain lift could go (honestly I think some special fast chain lifts might even be faster), and then when you get to the peak, which should be the coolest bit, it even slows down the launch further. Probably the shortest and slowest vertical drop I've been on; way inferior to a eurofighter or something similar. The rest of the ride is fun, lots of stuff packed in there, and I didn't see the second launch coming at all. Now THATS a launch. Could use a bit more after the second launch but the overall length of the ride is good. The real issue though, and the reason I didn't ride a second time: the seats were absolutely painful. Not sure what was up with them but the way the hard plastic was shaped felt like it was just bashing into the bottom of my thigh painfully throughout the whole ride. Was honestly a bit hard to walk for a few seconds after getting off

What do you want from a coaster if not Maverick? It's relentless without being painful. It's engaging the entire time. It feels impossible that a ride with these stats is this good, but then you ride it, and you ride it again, and you never wanna stop. I didn't think a steel coaster could be elite without being huge. Maverick, true to its name, proved me wrong.

The best part about this is the second launch. The concept is great, the theming is on point, the intensity is just right. However the restrain hurts my dad in unspeakable places and the trains are to...

The best part about this is the second launch. The concept is great, the theming is on point, the intensity is just right. However the restrain hurts my dad in unspeakable places and the trains are too short for the amount of downtime it gets.

I love this ride. it has great pacing, speed, and intensity! This ride at night genuinely feels like you don't know where you're going and its great! It's one major con however, and that is its restraints, as a tall person, I have to cross my legs for more comfort between me and the restraint, and because in the front there is no space for crossing me legs, for me, it is very uncomfortable to ride in the front. That doesn't matter however, as the back in this ride is better anyways.

Maverick has one of the best layouts of any roller coaster out there. The second launch in the tunnel is fantastic as well, alongside its trademark intensity. My only major complaint is the restraints...

Maverick has one of the best layouts of any roller coaster out there. The second launch in the tunnel is fantastic as well, alongside its trademark intensity. My only major complaint is the restraints, especially on those hills that launch you out from your seat.

Best coaster I've ridden, out of 134. The launch is great, the whippiness is great, the airtime fun; I can't think of many negatives to it. It is shorter than its neighbor SteVe, but I personally like it more. I am a bigger fan of whippier rides in general, and this delivered in all faucets of my expectations (and beyond). I have been on Zadra, Steel Vengeance, Kondaa, Ride to Happiness, Voltron, Untamed; this beats all of it for me. Most enjoyable ride I've been on, looking forward to coming back one day. One problem with it is the reliability, though, as it went down 2 times during my 1-day visit.

If Kingda Ka marked the end of the coaster wars due to its unwieldy size and speed, Maverick officially killed the conflict because it showed that you can pack the same punch in only a fraction of the height, speed, and length. This coaster strikes a really good balance between airtime, launches, positives, and snappiness with all of them being equally intense. The first drop is wicked snappy as you crest the lift hill at non-negligible speeds, the sudden transitions between turns are powerful, there's a hill that even looking at it you know will give strong ejector, the second launch through the tunnel is immense, and the Stengel Dive is the logical endpoint for all the ride's maneuvers. And it all comes so fast. This all sounds wonderful, but the ride vehicle leaves a bit to be desired. I'm someone who prefers to hold on to restraints over putting my hands up, but where the handlebars are on the restraints here, you pretty much have to have dinosaur hands for it not to feel unnatural. And after being whipped over that first drop, I'm pushed forward in the seat for the rest of the ride in a less comfortable position. Still, I can look past these frankly nitpicky comfort issues and see Maverick for the amazing experience it is.

Maverick is awesome! Love the first drop, which is insane despite it only being 105 feet tall. Those low-to-the-ground turns and ejector airtime hills that follow are also insane! Feels like a mini I-...

Maverick is awesome! Love the first drop, which is insane despite it only being 105 feet tall. Those low-to-the-ground turns and ejector airtime hills that follow are also insane! Feels like a mini I-305 for a sec. To me, this ride's first half could be argued as its best. I think the two inversions on this ride are decent, but nothing insane. Still fun though! If I had to pick one moment I was a little let down by, its the launch. I was expecting a much better version of Velocicoaster's first or second launch (I haven't done anything super comparable outside of that), but it just didn't really do it for me. Probably my fault for having crazy expectations, but I think I'd barely take this over Velocicoaster's first launch, but definitely not over its second or the Incredible Hulk's launch. Far from a bad moment though! The stangle dives and ending ejector hills are great so that makes up for it. My first time going to Cedar Point I thought Maverick might be my #1 at the park (or at least I hoped it would be), but Steel Vengeance is just too good. I think this ride is great, but I would advise you keep your expectations in check on this vs. Steel Vengeance if you haven't done both. If you end up liking it better, more power too you! But you wouldn't set expectations as brutally I high as I did for this. Phenomenal ride though and definitely my #2 at Cedar Point.
