It's funny that they make it seem like there's a chance the test wont be successful. Anyone who's ever worked at a theme park knows that nobody (guest or employee) rides until maintenance says it's 100% safe. Employee test rides are a formality.
@@fishels3895 I disagree. I'm in maintenance and we all take our job pretty seriously. We keep our perspective fresh and if not, call over others that can give a fresh set of eyes. Of course no ride is 100% safe, but fresh eyes are a must. Sounds like you've had a bad experience.
"After a repair on one of Maverick's wheels. . ." I slapped my knee & started laughing cuh it's like everyday something is wrong with one of maverick's wheels 😹😹
I've never been on this ride. The last time my son and I were out there was 2004. We live in Delaware. I wish there was a much much larger version of this ride. The excitement generated by being on the ride so long at that speed would be tremendous.
"top thrill dragster is specifically designed to simulate the take-off of an aircraft carrier" *literally has dragster in the name, and is themed to a drag car*
Well TTD's launch is as intense as a jet taking off of an aircraft carrier. Something that actually simulates a dragster would be 60-70% more powerful than Do-Dodonpa and expose you to that force for a few seconds
At least, he's active to ride every one of them. Too bad I can't be one because I can't hear sounds very well and I can't feel the difference very well. That's all. =)
About 40 seconds into the video, he says that the lift takes you to the top of the hill at 22 feet per second. That can't be right; 22 feet per second works out to only 15 mph, and no way is Maverick that slow in getting up the lift hill. Maybe things were different back when this video was made.
A coaster traveling 22 feet per second definitely will travel 105 feet in 4.8 seconds, as you indicated. But the lift hill for Maverick is more than 105 feet in length, in much the same way that the lift hill for Valravn is more than 223 feet in length even though the maximum height for Valravn is 223 feet, or the lift hill for Magnum is more than 205 feet in length even though the maximum height for Magnum is 205 feet. The only way to be 105 feet off the ground after 4.8 seconds of traveling 22 feet per second is to go straight up.
jpwcpa yeah, yeah whatever, the point is that the train is and has always been travelling up that lift hill at 15 mph, the guy WORKS at the park. he knows what he's talking about.
"So we're gotta make sure these here wheels are good by having you hop on there Steve." I absolutely despise thid type it documentary. Instead of teaching the details instead of a general overview they waste half their screen time over dramatizing everything.
Makes me miss working Maverick! Got to do this every morning in 2016!
lucky bastard

"Air-filled gravity-defying hilltops" Just call them airtime hills like the rest of the world

No ride is 100% safe. Maintenance workers don’t have fresh eyes and mistakes happen
@@fishels3895 Lmao, you still dont test the wheels by putting a person on the ride😂

They run them with water filled dummy's to simulate a full train before any human rides.
@@fishels3895 drivers don’t have fresh eyes, so if ur gonna say coasters r dangerous never drive in a car ever again

@@alaeriia01 ay chill he just an Intamin fanboy
I don't agree but I see where you're coming from
Lol! I feel like he doesn't care about anything. He doesn't like.. show emotions! Hah. On this ride, I'm always laughing and/or screaming.
Well he has to pay close attention to how the coaster feels and the sounds that it makes to see if there's something wrong.
Thanks for the feedback in 2015 :)
lovelikeastar12 ___ Yep npXD
'Preciate it
Or he might get used to it after testing every single ride
What is this? 5 fps?
Not even
+Mateo Jara Yeah you're right
Its a slide show
Its filmed in 2012 thats why 😂
Yes

Id love to have the job where you get to ride all 17 coasters each day
Imagine getting _paid_ for that!? Where do I sign up?!
At some point "get to" becomes "have to"

Better than any other job which just stars with "Have too."
I miss test riding Maverick every morning. Best summer job ever! Going back next summer for a 5th season at CP!
Working at cedar point sucks. Everybody is mean. (I work maverick now)
@@gamingodriscoll5714 completely untrue haha

BEST. JOB. EVER.
Maverick is amazing hands down my favorite ride
I used to work there he doesn't do that everyday maybe a couple times a week. the ride operator's test the rides every morning

Not sure how that's relevent lol. A dragster launches you, TTD pulls you?

I love Maverick, ride it all the time.
Love that ride!!!!!!
best coaster ever
Sorry, but he's got a big brother now. and it's definitely better
First coaster i rode at ceadar point
How do you not scream. I mean I can hold it in too but don't u want to enjoy this! I wish this was my job. Dream job
Love this ride!
Be a maverick
Monte: Hmmm interesting, I see, well, okay, Good ride.
My dream job
best ride at cedar point
When the guy said Maverick the first time, a notification came from Logan Paul's new video. Hahahaha
Umm Hi why do you have notifications turned on for Logan Paul what’s wrong with you?
It’s funny how serious he looks the entire time 😂
No kidding, DrKone Davis! I want that job!!
And that's what makes it fun.
He has the best job in the world
lol...another cool ass job in the world
It's one of my favorites because it's absolutely fucking insane.
I had the same experience riding by myself in the summer of 2016.
It's my favorite coaster! I'm in the minority preferring the old hard restraints to the new canvas shoulder straps..
Even I have to say the maverick is crazy.
There are several coasters Cedar Point I want to ride and Maverick is one. Looks so cool and the 95° Angle? O.o
I sat in that seat too. Best over the drop but you eat so much air
One of my favorites two becouse its fucking insane.
Lol when it skips the second half
Gotta keep the surprise for the GP ;-)
I want this man’s job
Who else knows the narrator from PBS NOVA?
This ride looks like rita queen of speed one in Alton towers United Kingdom
This one's taller & faster and has inversions. What Rita should have been
that wasn't even the entire track
He is the park inspector from RCT
I'm going to school for engineering so I can have this job.
At least, he's active to ride every one of them. Too bad I can't be one because I can't hear sounds very well and I can't feel the difference very well. That's all. =)
He isnt even scared
inspecciona las atracciones a diario?
Great ride :|
He isn't fazed at all... Well of course he rides every one everyday
So glad they changed those awful restraints
Thats wat my job is going to be
that's the point of the ride.
What about the other cars
This reminds me of the red rollercoaster on the front of the roblox page
Hello and bye
That's because it is the ride on the front page of roblox
he's good lookin.........
I didn't know they made a rollercoaster named after khans bird😂
Those original restraints suck. They kill your shoulders and bang against your neck durring the snap turns.
There are not 8 air time-filled hilltops. Try 2 lol
The Maverick isn't even fun.
It's absolutely fucking insane.
Any Logangsters here?

No Maverick only goes up the lift hit at about 15 MPH
jpwcpa the coaster is 105 feet tall. 22 feet per second. he reaches the top in 4.8 seconds. THINK.
A coaster traveling 22 feet per second definitely will travel 105 feet in 4.8 seconds, as you indicated. But the lift hill for Maverick is more than 105 feet in length, in much the same way that the lift hill for Valravn is more than 223 feet in length even though the maximum height for Valravn is 223 feet, or the lift hill for Magnum is more than 205 feet in length even though the maximum height for Magnum is 205 feet.

Logang I'm a maverick
Its critical to see if wheels are in good working order ...if not Monty will soon find out ? .....sounds kinda ominous 🤔 #wheelmeetface
fucking cool

I shit rollercoasters for breakfast!!!!!

15 fps
95° angle on maverick dont even feel like 95° or the drop is just to short
No, the drop packs a huge punch
Potato
the music sounds like someone farting
8 years on and this narrator still annoys me.
Last time i rode this, i got the s*it beaten out of me
ride the mean streak and tell me if you think the maverick beats the crap outta ya lol
Well the new restraints on the ride should prevent that lol
they replaced the shoulder bars, so its more comfortable
He shows absolutely no emotion on the rides lol boring human being
It's just a job to him
My dream job
