Maverick • Cedar Point

Airtimes First Drop Comfort Capacity

AMAZING ride! The (2nd) best at the point, I noticed ZERO rattle (when not on a wheel seat), and the launches are great. Overall VERY intense! Capacity is MINOR con.

First Drop Fun Intensity Discomfort

Even though out of 20+ rides a few of them were not confortable, the intensity and amazing layout makes up for it.

I know very well that Maverick at Cedar Point is a fan favorite. It’s fast, has a steep drop, and has lots of airtime. Maverick is one of my favorites at cedar point because of its setting and speed mostly. It’s setting is based on western theming and contains lots of rocky terrain and water. My favorite parts are when you pass over the water and it shoots up as you fly by. Also, when you take a brief stop under the loading station, where it launches you faster than it did up the lift. Maverick to me, is enjoyable, but is not that type of coaster where you would put your hands up and have fun. Because of its speed and turns, if you were to put your hands up, it would be a rough ride. It’s not the ride’s fault that it’s rough, it’s the harnesses. The harnesses are not that secure at all, and your body flops around if your not holding on. So I suggest, if you wanna enjoy Maverick, sit either very close to the front or very close to the back and hold on!

What an incredible ride! Every quick turn/transition is incredible a whips you all over, and the airtime is amazing! The inversions are really good too. Also the perfect length and no rattle anywhere. Restraints are the only downside, as the lap bar part of them staple really easily and can hurt on the airtime hills. I can't decide if I like this or SV more.

Never have I ridden a more balanced and perfect coaster. This ride literally has everything. Airtime, inversions, launch, intensity, layout, comfort, it's got it. This is the world's most balanced coaster. It's extremely re-rideable, has decent theming, and is just so much fun. The pacing is absolutely relentless and you fly throughout the entire ride. There is zero roughness at all, and has a beautiful location.The transitions are whippy, but they don't hurt. Despite popular belief, this is better than Steel Vengeance, and i'm not ashamed to admit I like this gem more. And all at basically 100 feet too! It's just so good. You will love every second of this coaster.

Launch Intensity Ejectors Intensity

Maverick is my favorite launched coaster. It has an insane first drop, insanely fast turns fun inversions, and terrifyingly powerful airtime. The pacing could be better if it didn't stop before the second launch though. And the intensity is both a pro and con: It's awesomely intense, but so intense that it's exhausting to ride, especially with vests. If it had a lap bar, it'd be perfect. Otherwise it's near perfect, it can be uncomfortable but it's a huge thrill.

This is my favorite coaster. Brilliant layout, placement, pacing, etc. Since the soft OTSRs made their debut, I have no complaints whatsoever. A true masterpiece of a ride.

Launch Ejectors

Much hype around this - and left me a little bit disappointed. The first "launch" lift hill is a forgettable gimmick, the second launch is great, though. I didn't like the pacing on this coaster, a little bit too hectic for my tastes and the ejector airtime was too much. Other than that, great coaster with a nice setting (for Cedar Point standards) and twisty turnarounds.
