Fun Harness Ejectors
In the back, this was one of my least favorite coasters ever. In the front... Just... Wow... I was expecting Iron Rattler to be the best ride in Texas. If not that, then New Texas Giant, Boardwalk Bullet, maybe Texas Stingray. After riding Steel Eel in the front, I can confidently say that this is my favorite in Texas. What a ride! I love Steel Force, especially in the front, so when I got a very rough ride in the back on Steel Eel, I figured I should ride up front, since not only is Steel Eel smoother in the front, it has better airtime up there, too. But when I went to go give it a reride, it broke. And it stayed broken for another 2 hours. I figured I should get one more ride before I left the park. And as I was going to leave, I noticed it running with riders. I grabbed a quick front row ride, and I was blown away. Smooth, sustained floater on every hill. I love Gemini, and this felt identical to that ride. The weird, old fashioned, steel coaster airtime with a lap bar that sits inches above your lap is my absolute favorite type of airtime. Steel Eel is incredible. Don't skip out on a front row ride.

First Drop Fun Ejectors Rattle
Epic ride featuring possibly the greatest drop of all time. Great airtime and I didn't think the trains were too bad.

Airtimes Comfort Duration Reliability
Massive intense inversions with the world's most comfortable trains? Yes, please. I still don't know if I prefer this or Steel Vengeance. I'm a sucker for huge sweeping elements, and that airtime hill, wow! The best part of the ride is the part where it strays from the main layout towards the middle of the ride. The zero-g-stall is the best inversion on the ride. Great job S&S!

Airtimes Lap Bar Fun
I was not expecting this ride to be as good as it was. The restraints are so good they feel like buzz bars so you get awesome standing airtime on so many moments. The helix also has great laterals and feels very fast. I also really like the weird transitions that slam you up and then back down into your seat. Overall I was not expecting the ride to be as fun and have as many good moments as I did, solid hyper coaster.

First Drop Intensity Smoothness Too short
Everything is good about this ride, not one dull moment! First drop has phenomenal negatives g's and is honestly one of my all-time favorite drops. It was my first beyond vertical drop so I really didn't know what to expect. And the rest of the ride is just as good, packed with awesome positive g's, fun-filled inversions and an ejector bunny hop in to the break run. this ride is so short though that you really don't get to take in what this ride is doing to your body. If it had a few more elements then it would be a solid 4 of 5 but because its so short it's staying at a 3.5.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Capacity Harness Discomfort
It's something else. It looks appealing and it is pretty fun. There's one airtime that's awesome. The harness though really hurts, it's a leather belt that just cuts through your middle. The capacity is very limited, i took a long time to be able to ride this even though the park was empty. Still glad i did it. I would ride it again.

Airtimes Launch Intensity
Maverick is a ride that for me gets better and better every time I ride it. My first visit to Cedar Point I was slightly disappointed because of the restraint system but I still thought it was a 9/10 at least. My next two visits to the park were within a month of each other and I was blown away. I got 12 rides on it between the two visits and it did everything I expected last time plus the restraints didn’t bother me nearly as much. I had one or two rides where I could feel it in my thighs but still not nearly as bad as last time. The airtime on the drop is incredible in the back and the rest of the ride is just super whippy and filled with ejector. The second launch is super intense as well. This and Velocicoaster are really close but I give the edge to Velocicoaster because of the restraints. This is still a 10/10 though easily.

Theming Fun Layout Too short Capacity
Very pleasurable ride but with a severe lack of fluid dispatches and capacity!
