On our way to ride Maverick.

Details.

Enter Here.

The train speeds towards the top of the 105 foot tall lift hill.

The lift hill uses a magnetic launch system rather than a traditional chain setup to quickly get you to the top of the lift hill.

One train crests the lift hill while another speeds by below.

The 95 degree first drop - that's 5 degrees beyond vertical at it's steepest.

Within moments you're getting major airtime.

Coming off of the big airtime hill and heading for the twisted horseshoe roll.

This is the banked turn between the corkscrews. All together they make up the twisted horseshoe roll.

Coming out of the twisted horseshoe roll - from here you enter a tunnel featuring at 70mph launch.

The mid-ride lauch sends you high above a pond and immediately into a long, graceful curve that swoops back down towards the water.

As you near the water, you speed between these rock structures.

There's a nifty S-curve that weaves through the rocks.

Then it's back up with a twisting dive over the mid-course launch tunnel.

After a quick turn you hit this almost-inversion that twists as it changes directions.

And right into another great airtime hill.

A quick upward turn to the right and you're done.
As the brakes slow the train, catch your breath and try to process what just happened.

A nice look at one of the trains as it rolls back to the station to unload.

A look at the station and some of the queue area.

Priceless reaction in row 2...and entirely appropriate given the force of the airtime on that hill.

Maverick just never lets up from start to finish.

Maverick opened to the public on Memorial Day weekend 2007.

More Maverick fun.

Both of Maverick's inversions are seen here.

Track going in all different directions.

Serious airtime right here.

Surprisingly, you even get airtime in the inversions.

A wonderful location overlooking Lake Erie.

Maverick flips riders as Mean Streak looks on in the distance.

One of the most hideously twisted sections of track on any coaster.

Speeding along near the end of the ride.

This low to the ground turn takes place between the corkscrews.
Altogether they make up the Twisted Horseshoe Roll element.

Maverick swoops by an empty midway.

Waiting to be moved into the station after another crazy ride.

The beyond-vertical first drop.
