I love this ride. The line (although long) is has great shade and moves at a pretty steady rate. The launched lift hill, although it seems a little unnecessary, is a nice touch, especially how it slows down at the top. The drop is crazy. The train keeps going down and down and down... until you're past vertical. The rides twisting section has some amazingly fast directional changes and the camelback hill has very strong ejector air. I like the twisted horseshoe roll a lot because the corkscrews, although forceless, didn't cause so much head banging that I would have a headache. The launch is a little weak compared to some others, but it's fun. The section over the lake is a little boring. After a hill with speed killing brakes, the train dives into a canyon filled with a whole lotta nothing. Apparently the heartline roll caused problems, but it would've been nice if they just made a weaker one in. The two Stengel dives are great, especially the second one, which feels more like an inversion than anything else. The ride finishes with a bunny hop that has another great burst of ejector air, and a turn onto the brake run. Overall, the ride has several thrilling elements, a great layout, and the best scenery in all of Cedar Point. It's easy to see why the lines for Maverick are so long.
