What about Millennium Force?!?!?!?

I would not come back to CP for MF... I don't like it a lot... maybe if I'm in the park I would ride it, but...

This is the first on ride video I've seen of Maverick.
Not really a POV and lots of screaming!!!

Maverick On Ride Video
or
Maverick On Toledo Blade

My favorite part is when she thinks the ride is over when the enter the launch tunnel.
Looks like I need a trip to Cedar Point...I haven't been there since the mid 90's.
Wicked Tweister, Millie, TTD, and Maverick would all be new for me!

Looks like the most airtime you can get at that park...that isn't saying much though.

Ogolo if you haven't been in CP since 90's, you had miss also raptor & mantis

they are very good coasters!

SilverBullet · « **Reply #79 on:** June 06, 2007, 12:11:48 PM »

Neither of them are particularly good apparently.

Raptor's 2nd half is apparently more boring than Disaster Transport and Mantis apparently isn't very friendly to males.

ehh, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Minus the crotch crushing of course, I actually liked Mantis. That first loop with the hangtime alone makes it worth the ride. Raptor to me is like the Hulk, it kicks major ass in the first half and then is a sleeper.

Keep in mind that where lore1991 comes from, these coasters are probably still better than anything local in Italy

Disaster Transport is awesome!!! Mantis isn't too bad, the fact that they run the coaster with mid-course brakes off makes it much better and intense IMO - same goes for Raptor... they can run it without the brakes and it's a good ride. The helix at the end is pretty intense.

ahahhahhahahah wadej maybe you're wright

however, in my opinion Katun is better than mantis and raptor

but i like them a lot! so silver, don't miss them when you'll be there

Maybe it's better in real life, because that actually looks boring.

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #85 on:** June 20, 2007, 04:50:25 PM »

That video makes it look SO slow. In real life, you feel like you are taking all of the transistions/elemtns ATLEAST 2 times as fast. You'll see in September Chuck. You'll see.

Bubba Z · « **Reply #86 on:** June 20, 2007, 05:22:37 PM »

I enjoyed the tunnel part at least = )

ChuckR · « **Reply #87 on:** September 05, 2007, 10:31:03 PM »

Time to unsticky...

Xtremecoasters has an insane Maverick video. Check it out! http://www.xtremecoasters.com/index.php?act=videoDownloads

WadeJ · « **Reply #89 on:** September 06, 2007, 10:08:53 AM »

Thanks for the link. Thats a nice video but wow is that POV shakey. Is the ride really that rough or is it just a crappy camera?

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #90 on:** September 06, 2007, 11:56:10 AM »

I would say more along the lines of the crappiest camera holding skills ever.

Ogolo · « **Reply #91 on:** September 06, 2007, 09:28:53 PM »

Why do they always have such horrible music on these coaster videos!

Robert T Ackerman · « **Reply #92 on:** September 06, 2007, 10:53:08 PM »

^ I was thinking the same thing.

Really!? I like how the beat of the music goes along with the ride. I thought this music was cool for this video.
