I had a pretty nasty two days if I may say so myself. But while there, I did realize something. (Corny speech approaching).

While riding Maverick, something weird came into my mind. After feeling it's sick G's and sweet airtime, the thought that it is better then Millennium Force entered my mind. It took me about two rides in the front on Ben and Bart to realize that it really is. However, I'm not changing my Top 10 because Millennium Force is #1 in my books. It is, after all, the ride that got me hooked on coasters. The ride I planned to go on when I was 10 years-old. So although I do now know that Maverick is a better ride, Millennium Force is still my #1 along with Maverick.

So now that that's done, I have some pictures from my experience. I'm not the type to brag but the picture I took on top of Power Tower of MF is f*cking nasty.

Also, for anyone going to Cedar Point, here are some tips I would suggest:

-stay at a Cedar Point Resort (Breakers) because the early entrance is ideal. If you have a season pass it doesn't matter though.

-head for Maverick first, it always has the longest line during the day

-Don't waste time on smaller attractions, you're at Cedar Point, America's ROLLERcoast

-Sit front seat of Maverick, Top Thrill Dragster, and Mean Streak

-Sit back seat on Millennium Force, Magnum, and Blue Streak

^Badass shot of MF


P.S. Magnum may get into my Top 10. It's such a kickass ride. Also, Mean Streak is the most hardass looking ride out there, hands down.

You got on a ton of rides while you were there. You also got some pretty sick pictures. It's good to here that you now agree with me about Maverick. I have to disagree with you about some of the tips though. You should just get on TTD instead of waiting and Blue Streak should be sat in the middle somewhere. Also, Magnum should be sat in third row, first car(the ejector row).

Oh really? Now I am pissed because I thought Magnum's ejector row was third to last. Shit...

Blue Streak I dont really care though haha. It is a fun ride when its raining because it is open through most of it.

Thanks for the comment.

BTW, which train is your favorite on Mav? Mine is totally Ben.

Yeah MF is still really good and will remain my #1 but Maverick has alot more elements that you don't see too often.

They really are completely different rides and cannot really be compared in anyway.

I really don't have a favorite Mavy train, but I hate the silver one, whatever it's name is. It seems to have a problem with square wheels.

We really need to plan together though, because I was there yesterday.

Well I think of Maverick as a smaller combo of MF and TTD. High-speeds, quick turns, very steep drop, a TON of air time, a launch, and a very unique asortment of elements, plus the twisted horseshoe roll is an added bonus. But TTD33 I can almost agree with you. The first time I rode MF in the front I was like, WOW, that was a lot better then I remember, but I'd rode Maverick that day too, and the uniqueness of it still made it better. Though MF is very close to being my number 2. TTD's launch just gets me every time.

TTD seems like nothing at all because I ride Kingda Ka easily 20 times a season. So the feeling has grown on me.

I cant think of Maverick and MF as similar rides of all.

MF is extreme speeds, floater airtime, massive height, and large, gradual elements.

Maverick is decent speed, ejector airtime, minimal height, and tight, quick, unique elements

I was just about to say that. Maverick is full of tight, dynamic maneuvers, whereas Millie is a ride of long, drawn out, high speed elements.
