blueangel04 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I am going to Holiwood Nights with my husband, kids, and mother-in-law. We have been going every year and love it! I think PP looks awesome and can't wait to ride it. I do agree that you should not judge a ride until you have ridden it. Sometimes something that looks boring can end up being a great ride and sometimes something that looks awesome can make you think "thats it?". You just have to do it and see what happens.

SonofBeast07 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^like maverick? what's your take on it? does it look awesome but is boring? or do you think it looks boring and is awesome? i loved maverick, but those restraints gave me bruises.

tigellinus Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^^I think he means the latter...when Maverick was announced and being built it admittedly didn't look very intimating or thrilling to many, including me. I mean, a first drop <100'?!? However, it surprised me and others as well and is actually a ferocious monster that packs a mean punch! It's my 3rd favorite steel coaster, and I've been on many!! Plus, unlike for others...I ride Maverick in a unique way, which frees me from any arm/shoulder bruising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I will admit this ride, just looking at it, scares me. I'm afraid of falling out of it Yeah, I'm afraid of the boat moving forwards, backwards, or sideways, and then falling 100+ feet to my death .

I agree--I think Maverick packs quite a punch...much more than its stats or looks would indicate. The front seat in Maverick is one of my favorite rides (at least top 5!).

LaShatelle Fountaine Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Plus, unlike for others...I ride Maverick in a unique way, which frees me from any arm/shoulder bruising. How do you ride it, can you go into details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Maverick is my favorite steel roller coaster, by far.* And that says a lot... *But ONLY in the front row. As far as I am concerned, I'd rather sit on a park bench than ride elsewhere on that coaster. A strange beast it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorcp21 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was reading in coasterforce forums and saw one of them email holiday world to check if that splash was the finished product or if the splashdown pool needed filling up more. holiday reply back said Yes, the Pilgrims Plunge splash pool is at its designated capacity. We are still working in tweaking the wave. Keep watching our blog and tweets to learn more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Man Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It is. It is almost certainly one from this company: http://www.bigassfans.com/ Terpy is not responsible for the company's name (and wonders if it will post here properly... They have those at my gym.

There is reply from Paula who rights the blog on Holiday World's website (I'm not too familiar with her and don't know her actual position) over at Coasterbuzz where she states that they decided to go with a smaller boat then was originally planned. The smaller boat has resulted in the smaller disappointing wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
