More About This Ride

Support columns are filled with sand as a means of noise reduction.

Chronological Order of Major Elements:
[1] Heartline Camelback
[1] Heartline Camelback


Vehicles attain a speed of 57 mph at the base of the first drop.

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.

Loved the coaster. Maverick is truly one of the greatest coasters out there. It came close to Millennium in my mind, but I think MF still takes the #1 spot.

I just absolutely loved Maverick, very intense & dynamic!
