One tunnel enclosure.

Two sections utilizing Linear Synchronous Motor staters. The first section serves as a replacement to a traditional chain-lift by slowly but smoothly propelling the vehicles up the initial incline to the coaster's maximum height. The second section approximately midway through the track circuit accelerates vehicles to the ride's top speed of 70 mph.

History:
IntaRide took out the inline twist before the roller coaster opened due to high strain on the trains and track. The inversion was replaced by an S-curve.

This ride takes the word intensity to a whole new level. It lives up to the long awaited hype.

This is the best ride at Cedar Point. Somehow, it is more intense than MF and TTD. The elements are just crazy. Front is the best. Great views of Lake Erie too. 10/10

I rode this ride yesterday, and let me tell you what! It was great! It banged my head up a little bit, though. The banked curves were jerky, especially the one coming out of the tunnel. A great ride overal

My rating: 4.5/5

I got some crazy airtime. This ride has the perfect layout, and is a must ride.

Maverick is a really fun ride. It does a lot and has good air and speed. However I didn't really think the ride had a standout moment, just element after element. Maybe the roll would have been what's missing, but I don't know. Still a really fun coaster.

By far my favorite coaster and by even farther the best at CP. After riding this one, MF seemed boring. And it's perfectly heartlined in every way possible, and if you hold on you won't feel any lateral shifting. go_Maverick!

I'm not getting why everyone is calling this the greatest ride. It's fun sure, but it's not THAT great.

I am wondering what the percentage of people who rated this ride that actually rode it is. Seeing Cedar point as the second most visited park can't possibly be true.

This ride is fun and has some good airtime, especially in the back, but it's not the #1 steel coaster.

The ride was wonderful, but I didn't like the car and restraint. I don't know if it was a bad ride, but my first ride felt slightly unconforatble in the seat. The ride, however, was superb. Loved the stop and launch. First drop was great. Change the train, and it'd be my #1 steel.

Number two for me personally, after Phantoms Revenge.
