The guy on the right laughing hysterically at the end is the kind of reaction I want whenever I get off of a coaster. That's how you know its good.

[@skippythealien9627]

literally every single reaction he had is me on any roller coaster hahaha

[@TylerPCoyne]

I love this ride! Maverick just goes to show the amusement industry that big things can come in smaller packages!

[@nataliemacbride3163]

This is my fav ride

[@florob3456]

@@nataliemacbride3163 This is my second Fav but Steel vengeance is my Fav

[@elijaharsenault]

@@florob3456 steel vengeance is sooo good

[@bonkers082]

i just went on it today. it was my first big rollercoaster! i’ve always been super scared of rollercoasters and refused to go on anything worse than the iron dragon but this was so fun

[@natechenry]

@@bonkers082 nah I thought I hated roller coasters but all it takes is one ride to get used to or two, then for me anyway I craved more. I went on the millennium force which is one of the main rides there that cedar point is known for and I did it TWICE. I passed out a few rides but ended up going again on those rides because they were fun. Honestly the thrill is what makes the rides worth it. I can’t wait to go again. I love roller coasters now

[@YessssssHazel]

Maverick is simply the best. Tight turns and speed. Hands down favorite Intamin.

[@cassidy7661]

I wish I could experience this ride for the first time again!! So fun

[@Veste7182]

I remember going on this for the first time having no idea what it was, thinking it was a more gentle coaster because of its size. And then when the ride I was done, I turned to my partner and was like WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Still my favorite ride at CP, even more than SteVe

[@lindsayslifecafe7569]

Yes!!! When my husband and I stopped that’s exactly what he said, “what just happened?!!” And then I was sick for 2 days and that ended my relationship with Maverick 🤣

[@deltaguy28]

Loved the expressions!~ Cant wait to get to the Point again

[@cold8143]

Im going today an in hour can’t wait

[@s2moneyy]

“Get to the Point” is a great marketing term!

[@db60615]

Hands down, my favorite ride at cedar point.

[@mvp_kitties5386]

I’m going to ride it today with my friend who has a fear of rollercoasters/heights/going upside down I’m very surprised that she wants to go on this! I’m so excited this is my favorite ride!

[@Madi.starsss]

I have a fear of all of those (except of Rollercoasters, I'm just more scared of falling out of them) and I rode this ride because my mom said it had NO upside down parts or really high parts, and I screamed and cried during this ride💀🥲

[@yugoslavian6641]

Was not expecting this ride to be so awesome and so smooth!!

[@quinnimationtv]

I remember wanting to ride this when I was 9 because it wasn't very tall. Unbeknownst to me, it would be the most intense thing 9-year-old me would ever experience. Definitely in my top 3 to this day.

[@blockycraftpartyplayz7015]

I love this ride because it’s over the water

[@shrk7]

agreed its so pretty

[@misterbigglesworth6320]

Im just sitting here rewatching how fast the guy on right responds with 'im good' after asked if he's alright... I dont even understand how he reacted so fast

[@LovelyMsPretty]

Got my best friend on last month. I laughed so hard at her I couldn’t breathe. I warned her. This ride is relentless 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but I love it

[@kehehe9934]

looks intense

[@flakethefox9005]

I love how news people act like they've never ridden a single coaster before

[@kiwikiwi2483]

How do you know they haven't ridden a rollercoaster before until this one lol

[@BellaBlue133]

I went on this yesterday and holy shit it was so fun

[@gb3777]

joy, beautiful

[@19HuskyWolf70]

Favorite ride

[@billthebanana711]

1:09 *a c c e l e r a t e*

[@rachelforrer9167]

My favorite part ❤️❤️

[@nightshadehelis9821]

this will always be my favorite coaster on the planet. My favorite memory was when we got fast passes for the first time and we would hop right back on after getting off with almost zero waiting at all. We must've rode this 20 times in a row with zero waiting at all despite there being a two hour wait without the fast passes. You could definitely feel the hate from some of the people standing in line who got to watch you ride this over and over again. We went again last year and unfortunately, even with the fast pass + bracelets there was still a 45 min wait. I swear they are selling too many of them.

[@beastmode5437]

This ride is the best at the park at the moment. I always had Dragster as 1 but now that dragster is gone Maverick is just amazing but hopefully top thrill 2 will be good

[@CheezyNuggies-qm6vt]

Nice blud forgot Steve but still nice

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

You two scream in harmony, really funny!

[@imogencorrigan1718]

I rode this yesterday and they took the lights out of the tunnel so imagine everyone's screams when we blasted off into the pitch black darkness

[@art08474]

Headed this weekend, my all time favorite coaster!

[@protowave]

the railroad effects were refurbished a few years ago and still work fine, i was just at the park on Monday. however, there used to be more lights as you actually launched that haven't worked since probably 2009 or so.

[@MadelineBush]

I rode this ride when I was eight years old. I didn’t know what it was gonna be at all. All I thought was “omg I’m finally tall enough to ride a big ride!” Although I hated it at the time. I feel like now, 5 years later, I would LOVE this ride. From what I remember the drop was short but amazing. There was only two twists which were amazing as well. I would have loved it if I knew what was coming. But for an 8 year old girl. It was too intense. Especially since I didn’t know it went upside down or anything like that.

[@gibiati8295]

Its one of the most intense rides in the world. It was just too much for your 8 year old self. Surely you'd love it now!

[@MadelineBush]

@@gibiati8295 you are right about that! I’m sure you’re right, I would love it now. When I go back I’ll give it a second chance lol.

[@protowave]

as you can see in the video, there are far more than 2 "twists" lol

[@MadelineBush]

@@protowave I meant there are only 2 inversions lol

[@MadelineBush]

*2 full inversions

[@shitzairsoft]

Round 2 😂😂😂

[@amymoran4671]

Does it go upside down?

[@connorpendlebury3931]

Yeah. Twice.

[@Adrians_films]

How do you get permission from cedar point I wanna do this

[@ya_boi_zach5140]

maverick is fun, but I'd like it a lot more if it didn't crush my thighs with the restraints.

[@KondaaKage]

Maybe when riding, try to hold it up so it doesn’t crush you. Same goes for other coasters with this restraint.

[@jacia17]

would you rather fly out 💀

[@KondaaKage]

@@jacia17 mb didnt mean it that way hahaha, not exactly pull it all the way out lol, but just hold on so it won’t crush you any further

[@tomhill748]

The restraints on Maverick are tricky. They completely pin my shoulders down and lock me into a crunched position if I don’t set them correctly. I’ve found the secret is to get in the seat and sit up super straight. Then slowly pull the bar down until it comfortably rests on your shoulders. Then you can slouch down a bit more into a less erect position and the restraints are perfect. You won’t even notice they’re there.

[@gz9107]

I forgot if maverick is a intimene launch coster or not

[@HoosierCanuk]

Oh my gosh! I'm fricken terrified watching it. Lol

[@OrganicDolphin]

Does maverick have new restraints? I remember it having big clunky ones which really hurt my head

[@blakewestinghouse4208]

Yes There are new restraints

[@seanjackson726]

Man that boost tunnel really fucked me up the first time, it's absolutely terrifying in the very back.

[@SusanWells-wp3og]

Whoever’s watching this in 2024 👇🏻

[@chloeschenk3136]

This was my first ever roller coaster when I was 8 years old

[@lorioliver9001]

Maverick

[@shannonsmith1520]

👿😎👿

[@Ocassidy66]

Why isn’t there anyone behind you

[@lindsayslifecafe7569]

Maverick put me out of commission. Lol. I was sick for 2 days

[@Mluty]

I hated the Maverick I almost threw up 😰

[@Patexer]

Not a pov lol

[@frtard]

It's not a POV if youre looking backwards

[@CheezyNuggies-qm6vt]

Then call it a backwords pov
