Best roller coaster at Cedar Point by far! Ladies don't wear earrings . I did & the backing went into my head. Single riders after a certain point u can skip the line . Keep mouth closed at night, BUGS!

Sara Camden

Don't be deceived by appearances. It may not be as tall or as fast as some of the other rides at @cedarpoint but packs an amazingly wicked punch you won't soon forget!

Chris Rettich

One of the best roller coasters in the park . The line tends to be long so if you see the wait under 90 minutes, get in line !

Hannah

Great ride but can be very rough. Do NOT wear earrings , glasses or sunglasses. It will hurt with your ear hits the harness. Hold on tight to make ride more smooth!

Jon Highlander

If you rode this before they changed the harness, ride it again. They changed them and its much better. You don't smack your head on the harness anymore. Still get that thrill of the drops and turns

Colin Klein

One of the best rides in the park ! The line moves a bit slowly, but it's well worth the wait.

Eric Stankovitz

Incredible roller coaster that never goes above 100 feet. Packs a lot of power...

Hannah

Best thrill ride . However make sure you are NOT wearing earrings and brace your neck as you will get tossed side to side during the ride.

Starla Wise

Probably the most terrifying ride in the park . But also one of the most fun. That first drop is a doozy. Keep your head against the rest to avoid being concussed.

Dwayne Kilbourne

Beat the crowds and get to the back of the park first thing in the morning. This ride is the most popular ride back there, so start here!

Ashley Mobes

I was terrified in line but it was AWESOME!!! I dare say maybe my new favorite ride here...

Shane Sinise

One of the most intense rides, Maverick by definition is why Height doesn’t matter, have a good ride!

Ricardo Perez

I like it very fun, but my girlfriend says it feels like being kicked in the head by a horse afterwards from being so jerky ...

Cedar Point

Maverick usually has a shorter line in the beginning of the day! Head back to Maverick in the morning and work your way up towards the front of the park to avoid lines !

Carter A

Go to this coaster first in the morning when you get to the park (at opening time) ...less than 15 minute wait for the best ride at the park !

Mita rmizi

Awesome ride, really worth it to bump your ticket to fast lane plus because of the long queue

T-town Tom

Great coaster at a great coaster park .

Ricardo Ibargüengoitia

The best roller coaster in the park , hands down. Try to go on the front row, so worth it.

Erin Brodhagen

Had my first ride on this one on this trip..wow, was that take off fast! Definitely was not ready for that....but I enjoyed it :-)

Sarah LeVasseur

Worth the wait when it goes down!! That first drop, the tunnel , and the speed are amazing!!

Danielle Mancini

If your riding shotty at night I suggest you wear your hoodie backwards and use your hood to protect the bugs from your face. you will come off this ride covered in guts.

Christopher

Steeper than Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster and more inversions than both of them combined!

Sherrie Bumb

Personally think this is the best ride at cedar point and probably anywhere!!!

Cary Trusty

Great coaster. A bit rough as it throws you back and forth. Tends to leave bruises but I love it.

David R

May not be the fastest, highest, or most 'intimidating' but Maverick is simply the most fun you will have on a coaster - that's why its the best

Jonathan Pavelich

The front row is the way to go!

Jake Smith

Do a "country line dance " to the country music they play while you're waiting in line .

Elizabeth Dobrich

If you have earrings in take them out! Or eles your gonna kill you ears! The turns hurt with them in. Just a heads up!

Jeff B

Best new ride @ Cedar Point. Lots of twists & turns.

Dwayne Kilbourne

Love how this coaster does that launch of sorts and how it goes beyond vertical... Dare Devil Dive (at Six Flags Over GA) should take note!

Dan McMillan

Tight and fast, like a jet fighter dog fight. Best at night.

Eddie Knappenberger

At the end of the night, we got to ride the Maverick 4 times in a row without even getting off! Amazing day!

Dwayne Kilbourne

Super smooth ride... unlike the Mean Streak (wooden coaster ) that sits nearby!

Richard Bronosky

For such a short train the back has an amazing whip effect!

Keith Martin

One of the best rides here! If you see my dude Pavel working say what's up.

Aaron Head

It's only like 15minute extra wait for front seat. TOTALLY worth it!

Anthony S

Stabilize your head by keeping your hands tight high up on the bar - You'll enjoy the ride & exit headache free..yee haw!

Zach Fox

Probably my favorite roller coaster at the park .

Paula Latham

Always makes me say, "again, again" afterwards!

Danica Psyfai

Terrifying, amazing and unreliable. Breaks down often, but it is worth the wait!

Richard Cuervo

Pound two beers and discuss CMT, totally adds to the authenticity of the ride

Jessica DeJarnatt

This and the top thrill dragster are the BEST rides in the park !!!!!

????Simone

Best ride ever...worth the wait...Just Do It!

Winfield Luther

Try the pistachios from Ashlee..they rock

Sarah Cowie

Do this as the first ride for a shorter line . Best ride to start the day!

Matt Emmons

Great ride, but extremely unreliable. Every time I've been in line it goes down for at least 10 minutes.

Keith Maynor

Ride the back of the train I never had so much fun on this ride till now!

Richard Yauman

A wild ride and if you are single rider there is a point in line where you are allowed to cut to head of line . Too bad that spot is not sooner

Ryan Sprake

Ride defensively. I cross my arms around my chest and hold on to the shoulder restraint to keep my body centered.

Amber M

The music they play while you're waiting in line is TERRIBLE!
