Maverick review by Gazza

A very unique ride that shows off a broad array of elements, from stengel dives to corkscrews, plus airtime hills and quick transitions, but an uncomfortable harness design spoils the experience a bit.
Review Criteria
Enjoyment
A cool coaster, which does a lot of things very well, and combines into something greater than the sum of its parts. Feels quite wild, and runs smoothly, but the restraints hurt a bit.Effectiveness
The ride was built as a deliberate move to not be the tallest and fastest, and instead focus on being a solid overall experience, and it has done this well.Intensity
Good level intensity. Strong airtime, fast transitions, forceful inversions.Rider Comfort
At the time of my visit the train was using the hard Intamin shoulder straps, which hurt to hit your neck on, so a defensive riding is needed, so what should be the rides best aspect becomes its most unpleasant. Since the time of my visit, soft padded vest restraints have been fitted.Pacing
Very rapid pacing. It feels quick an nimble right from the first drop, and a mid course launch keeps you blazing along. The tight, snappy nature of the elements enhance the sense of speed.Theming/Storyline
Compared to most Cedar Fair rides it is fairly well themed, with an old wild western style station, plus a timber enclosed launch tunnel.Upkeep/Presentation
In good condition.Queue/Efficiency
The ride had a real "Disney" in terms of organisation of the station. Two trains load an unload simultaneously, so things are efficient.More Reviews
