THIS. ^ I'm sure RMC has learned a ton over the years, and when Cedar Point came calling, they new they had to make it amazing. There's no way that they screwed this up.

Right. I guess what I'm trying to say was that it gives the same satisfaction of MF and TTD at a much slower (comparatively) speed.

1:36 long video... for seemingly no reason. Ride length?

Eyes can deceive. Maverick does NOT look like the physical beast it is. I remember being left speechless after I rode it for the first time. How could such a tiny ride that looked so slow give such a beating? I think the relative size of the first lap structure is making the 3rd lap look slow...

By "she" is that Jess?

I can see how front row might feel sluggish immediately after the first inversion. It will be hemorrhaging speed going up that hill for the maneuver, and you'll be somewhat waiting for the rest of the train to finish the inversion before it can push you down the dip under the lift hill. Its just...

I wouldn't expect a a full POV until people ride it. I'm pretty sure the first full POV of Twisted Timbers didn't come out until the afternoon of Media day.

-- Every time I stand in the station about to get on Millennium Force. The music, the way the train disappears up and out of the station. -- Night time fireworks show at Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. -- Front row of Top Thrill Dragster rolling up to the starting line...

The Animation makes the ride 6 seconds faster than the real POV from top of list to breaks.

It looks to me like the GIF is sped up.... or more specifically, the frame sequence likely isn't complete. It seems to progress faster than actual footage should. I just don't think it can cover that much ground that fast. --or maybe it IS missing frames, but its not sped up, and the missing...

they could start out with the "slow" wheels to be conservative with testing, then try the faster ones and compare. They'll figure it out.

I'm gonna be totally honest: I've been to Cedar Point 10-15 times in my life, and I never knew there was a hotel back there. My mind is blown.

So will they have it operational before Thanksgiving?

Oh Yeah! I was wondering when they were going to reveal the POV footage for that!

That's quite vertical.

nice! maybe 100 yards of track left to place, and she'll be full circuit!

They moved the live cam out of view. *shakes fist*

Looks like they are ready for track!

The webcam is showing some lift hill progress right now! I'd say its going to start leveling off from where it is right now. It wont get much higher than that judging by the CP promotional material

So here we are again. The park will now be closed a lot and pics will be fewer and far between. Honestly, there wont be much more to see that the lift hill getting topped off.
