+AnimateCleric It truly is the greatest coaster in the entire world. I am surprised that it is only ranked number 22 for the best roller coasters in the world. I can't wait to see how Taron and Lightning Rod do next year, though I'm sure Maverick will still be better! :)
***** I wasn't crazy over Rougarou, I think it's because the harnesses weren't tight enough, so it was pretty rough. If it got harnesses like Maverick or Millennium Force, it would be amazing. Yeah, I can't wait to ride Valravn. Maverick will always be my favorite though! :D
+SixLeafCloverOFire I got stuck on rougarou for like 20 minutes the last time I was there. Got sunburned but also got a ticket to skip any ride in the park. (We chose Maverick, best choice ever)
Maverick is hands down the best rollercoaster I have ever been on. Everyone that says that Millenium Force is better is lying to you. Ride the Maverick at night because the sharp turns make the it that much more exciting. And then the quick stop in the dark...oh man wooooooooo!!!
Don't ride the Maverick at dusk in the front seat. It is directly on the lake so tons of bugs come out at dusk. My nephew and I made this mistake last year. After the end of the ride, we were absolutely covered in bug guts...all over our face, hair, and arms LOL
Jorge Leos they are not lying to you! They are stating their opinion! I have respect for everyone's opinions and everyone should have respect for any opinion.
I went here a few summers ago and the wait for this ride was almost 2 hours, the entire time i kept thinking "This isn't going to be worth it" It was worth it.
r1undertaker This ride left bad bruises on the inside of my arms that remained for several weeks. This one's too jerky for this old man (only 30ish when I rode it lol)
sorry you experienced the turbulence, ive taken most of my beatings from wood coaster so most steel coasters don't phase me. I ve taken a few real physical beatings in my life so u know..
Awww I love Maverick, it's one of my favorites! I love how the drop feels, especially at night, you feel like you are plunging into the darkness and the tunnel is awesome at night too, it's pitch black and you can't see anything and then suddenly your launched back out into the lights, it's just an awesome feeling! It's hard to explain but I'm sure anyone who has rode it at night knows exactly what I mean! Ugh I miss Cedar Point, I wish we could go back again this year, we went on Memorial Day weekend and had a absolute blast, I love it so much there!
Maverick is one of my favorite rollercoasters ever. Originally, I was expecting it to be good but too intense that it wasn’t fun but no, this ride is so smooth and those sharp turns are actually really fun same with the inversions! The launch is amazing how it lasts for a very long time before turning. Not to mention, the lake and water smell amazing!
I remember when I first rode this... I was so surprised but happy it took off on that first hill because I hate the slow climbing of the hill cuz I start to get nervous lol but I love the dropping part 😂
I enjoy the fact that as soon as you came out of the launch tunnel, the camera essentialy when blind from the light, as if you had literally died and gone to coaster heaven , which is quite fitting for theis ride. And if you have never been on this ride, and inte d on doing such, go on it at night. The first 2 times i did was night. Even better when you do not know what to expect!
This was a must. We came when the waiting was virtually nothing to no more than 20 minutes, but this one was the oddball with a 1-hour wait. We couldn't figure out why as TTD and MF & GK are equally as popular. Anyway, I knew the fast ascent up the lift hill and the beyond-vertical drop would result in major air time. It it did! The drop is also amazingly fast. I was aware of the second launch in the tunnel, but my friends weren't. That being said, it was a pleasant surprise for them and I still loved it even though I knew it was coming. The ride following the second launch was more intense than I had thought. Though many reviewers complained about their backs hurting when the track would suddenly bank right, left, right, etc, but it didn't hurt any of us. I just simply brace myself and lean into it. This one one of my favorite at the park and I believe it was THE favorite among my group.
+Jeremy Wissel Haha This roller coaster is so amazing that I'm sure that if I rode it with my worst enemy we would be friends afterwards! It's just one of those rides that make you completely speechless. It was so amazing that I rode it twice in a row with my best friend (we had a fast pass so it was only a 5 minute wait for front seat), and rode it once with my mom, who didn't have a fast pass. So I waited an hour and 30 minutes for it just so my mom would ride it with me and she didn't really want to ride it because she didn't know how amazing it was going to be. She was blown away afterwards, and she honestly doesn't know if she loved it or hated it lol. Well then me and my best friend rode it a fourth time later that day! :)
I just got back from my first trip to Cedar Point and Maverick was the first Coaster I went on. It was my first coaster at cedar point and i loved it, it was my second favorite if no my favorite next to Gatekeeper and Millennium.
People, this ride is impossible to describe just by watching a video. You have to ride it yourself. Then you will understand why people love it so much.
I like this ride but my biggest complaint is the head jerking, seems much more intense then any other intamin ride ive ever been on. like it was almost vekoma status at some parts, just almost. still its a great ride though and you gotta like tense your head to the headrest so your not tossed around as much.
+Raoul Duke Rode it last week and the new restraints are AWESOME. There's a lap bar and OTSRs made of soft foam. I've never been so comfortable on a roller coaster before, especially not one so deliberately violent. Best ride at Cedar Point by a mile, leaves Millie and TTD (both of which I am very fond of) in the dust.
Such an amazing ride! But it's so rough on the head!! Other than that this ride is perfect in every way. The drop while not that tall at all really catches you by surprise probably due to the steepness.
***** They fixed that this yer and gave it new soft restraints that rest of your shoulders. I never had headbanging on Maverick but I know lots that did. It is my favorite coaster of all time
I know!! I can't wait to ride it! I bet it's so smooth now. They put the same restraints on maverick as I305's (I think?) and 305 is the smoothest coaster out there
I forced my friend to go on this and i forgot that it takes off fast, so i told her to think of purple grapes and she almost started crying at the beginning xD
This coaster was fun. It had down time but we got there right as it opened back up. We only waited fifteen minutes! If you’ve been to cedar point you know I was SHOOK!!!
The Maverick has to be the best rollercoaster I’ve been on. Now only is it exhilarating, it’s also very smooth with very well done transitions throughout. I’d even say that it’s better than the Millennium Force. If you don’t like rough rides but love the thrill of rollercoasters, this ride is definitely for you!
Just the way it swerves around combined with the speed would easily make it my fav roller coaster, but sadly I live in Belgium so I don't think I'm visiting this park anytime soon
I like this ride a lot, solely because it's so small and yet it's so intense. I hate really tall coasters because I can barely stand the feeling of my stomach dropping a lot. Obviously you still get that on this, but the feeling is shorter, and you get more time to focus on how fast its going instead, and how it whips you around. 10/10

This ride is in the top 4 rides in the entire park with the new restraints. It's thrilling and jerks you around like crazy, but it doesn't make you sick at all. Closest I've felt to being a kid again in a long time, besides the MF, of course. Soooo good.
You should like it. It's wild as hell though. It's hard to really capture how wild it is until you are actually on it. It goes very fast and makes a lot of sudden turns. It feels like you are riding on the back of a "maverick" horse gone wild and you are trying to hang on it.
The Maverick is an amazing roller coaster!! The track is huge and pretty smooth. It is not one of those rides that you get on and get off a second later. My cousin and I waited in line for 1.5 hours. Got off. Waited another 1.5 hours to ride again. You will love it :)
One time I was with my Dad at cedar point and we were gonna go on this for the second time of the day but I knew how intense it was so I almost started bawling my eyes out; forgot that they take ride pictures and I felt a little embarrassed but it was fun
We rode it two years ago and I just told my husband the same thing! It's far too rough. The turns are too sudden. The changes of direction too sudden. Not a fan. I haven't ridden Valravyn yet but so far nothing beats Millineum Force for me.
all you have to do is brace yourself a little...i've rarely ever felt beaten around by this thing...millineum force is great, but maverick is easily tops for me
this is one of those rides you look at and you are like "meh.........." but when you get on it it really really is surprising and packs a punch! i heard somewhere another popular coaster is like that...but it was in some small town amusement park rather.its this junior wooden coaster that looks like it was made for the kids who just graduated from the Dragon Wagon coasters but when you get on it....it almost as intense as the big boy wooden coasters...not sure its true or not....might be exaggeration. i never been to that park and its far from me so i wouldnt know.... i think the ride is called Wooden Warrior.
The most exhilarating ride i've ever been on.

CoasterCritique Is it just hella fast?
Finally found a use for trigonometry: the speed up the lift hill is approximately 24.34 mph if anyone was wondering
Lol you should've just looked it up
Evolution Artwork The drop angle isn't constant so your result is going to be off by a decent amount. It travels up at 8 m/s or about 18 mph.
+TheMichiganfan97 You don't need the drop to calculate, you an arbitrarily form a triangle from the highest point of the lift before the drop.
yall mahfackas would kill people if you were in charge of designing coasters! gotta get that math right

Preach brother. Its #2 at CP now with SteVen but obviously its a lot better than Millennium Force-less.
We rode it at night and omg, SO MANY BUGS. Yes it is fun but we all had to cover are faces and squint our eyes because how bad it was
I *LOVED* the Millenium Force but the Maverick takes my #1 spot.
I went here a few summers ago and the wait for this ride was almost 2 hours, the entire time i kept thinking "This isn't going to be worth it"
It was worth it.
Best ride at Cedar Point, it's like a mix between the Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium force all in one. You gotta ride in the back though.
Why is it better in the back? I've only rode it front row.
You get shaken around more in the back
Rmuns 12
The back seat is very intense, a radical coaster for not being very tall.

this ride was so much fun. could ride it forever
I actually viewed the construction of this ride picture by picture on CP's website back in the day.
Was a pleasant time for a 9-year old.
this was the second roller coaster i had ever ridden in my life, and man was i scared going up before the big drop but it was the time of my life dude

i thought that was sped up the first time i watched this it looked so unnatural to go fast at the beginning of a roller coaster 😂 😂
Definitely my favorite coaster. Something about it just feels different.

I love how the sound effects in the tunnel keep the action going
I freaking love this ride!!!
This ride was VICIOUS!! Immediately sends you flying!
Seventh favorite! It hurts my head a bit, but my favorite parts are going up the first hill, and going VERY fast in the tunnel!
Its a 95° Drop And i rode it yesterday Its my favorite ride at Cedar Point.
Incredible ride!!! So intense! and has an insane front row night ride experience! Highly recommend!

Then you'll be pleased to know that Maverick is receiving new restraints for 2015!
Really? sweet i gotta check it out then.
Now you are talking about the wooden coasters those throw you around trust me I rode them and I don't really care for them

***** I can't wait, only 2 more days until I go!
It hurt my head when it stopped in the tunnel then took off super fast
monster rich this year? the restraints got a very good upgrade this year so I wouldn't think so. The old ones hurt a lot I heard.
This ride is so much fun!
this ride looks like so much fun cant wait to ride it
I forced my friend to go on this and i forgot that it takes off fast, so i told her to think of purple grapes and she almost started crying at the beginning xD
Kitty Kaspurr purple grapes 😂😂😂😂
people like that at amusement parks are so annoying
"Yes!!!!, I think my stomach is still out in Lake Erie somewhere, lol, GREAT RIDE though"!!!! 😃😎😉
Kitty Kaspurr lol
It’s annoying how people cry at the beginning when it didn’t even start
Really excited to go on this one
This coaster is only 110 ft high but the intensity is insane
My favorite roller coaster in the park! Goes sooooo much faster than it looks!
This coaster was fun. It had down time but we got there right as it opened back up. We only waited fifteen minutes! If you’ve been to cedar point you know I was SHOOK!!!
I accidentally went on this when I was younger. Note that I hated roller coasters back then.
Can't wait to get on those rides! I miss cedar point!
Easily my favorite coaster in the park.
Looks fantastic , quick turns fast inversions thanks for the upload
by far one of the best rides at cedar point! I must say the tunnel and take of caught me a little off gaurd but I still enjoyed the ride a lot!!!
My husband just told me how insane this ride is and he is making me get on. I'm afraid just looking at it and I like roller coasters
Just rode it today. This ride and top thrill dragster are my favorite

Was at cedar point for the first time a few days ago - this was by far my favorite ride in the park. First drop in the back seat is dope.
I went on the middle seat and the force was so strong and I couldn't even put my hands up
My favorite thing to do at Cedar Point is getting people to go on Maverick for the first time and not telling them about the second launch.
Doing this to my dad and mom in a few weeks lol
we literally walked on with a 1 minute wait time while everyone else had an hour. Fast lane plus was so worth it
how much it cost???

I don't like huge drops on roller coasters, or long ones either. I LOVE speed and inversions, and Maverick sounds fun. Will I like it?
Yup.

Trey Grimsley That makes no sense, dude. What do you think weightlessness is? Negative G-forces...DUH!

Holy crap! That’s the fastest I’ve seen that thing go. She was hauling.

When a 95° drop is the least intense part of the ride.
omg this is the best coaster at CP it's awesomeeeee :))) jerks u around a little but overall it's perfect and fast and the drop is sooo cool :D
i would ride this 100 times and not get tired of it
Greatest coaster of all time, this and millenium force.

Now Velocicoaster in Islands of Adventure is tied with this.
definitely my favorite ride
