Haha, Cedar Fair.
What's ironic about this, all the track work was up so early!!!
I'm glad I'm going to Dollywood.

I always thought that transition out of the tunnel looked a little over-banked and quick. I guess it's a smart decision though, we don't want Maverick pulling a Chiller! EDIT!Sounds like its not the track right out of the tunnel, its the heartline! I have also always thought the heartline looked a little awkwardly shaped, but I never thought about it putting much stress on the trains. Sounds like this is exactly like what happened with Chiller. Let's just hope Maverick's roll can be fixed, and doesn't have to be removed. It looked like the best part of the ride! EDIT #2-Here are some nice close ups of how the heartline looks. These are most likely the three sections being removed.

From those pics, it looks like the roll could be slighty enlongened to provide a slighty smaller amount of lats, it looks like it could be longer and take up that small banked straightaway leading from the roll to the turn under the lift...
Does that make sense, or would it even do anything?

They better not remove that heartline roll...I would probably kick somebody if they did. Also, there's a mistake in the quote, that's not really a 360 degree rotation, it's probably about 220 or something. Yep, I'm a nerd. If I'm wrong about that, I'm sorry for being a wannabe know-it-all.

Well there goes any hope for it being my new #1! I was REALLY anticipating the roll to be one of the most intense elements ever, oh well, Maverick still looks pretty cool.

Um, this ride is a piece of crap now. They should have got a floorless.

Um, this ride is a piece of crap now. They should have got a floorless. Yeah, the heartline WAS the ride.

It's not that the ride was just the heartline, overall, I felt it was too average. I mean yeah, 95 degrees is cool, but what does the coaster have that the other coasters at the park do not have? Theming?
"oooh... mommy, let's go to Cedar Point because Maverick has rock walls around the track!!"
I think it was a bad decision overall.

^ I agree, I'm not impressed by the ride, they could've done better.
