Re: Maverick: Cedar Point's New Coaster for 2007
There's no law against structures over 400'. Construction of these rides is subject to approval of local planning boards, typically because all roller coasters exceed the limit imposed by code and must have an approved variance. Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, in addition to being an awful ride, is taller than Top Thrill Dragster.
Maverick looks dull. Maybe it'll be fun, but I'm not so much a fan of turns.
Also, California Screamin' uses Linear Induction Motors (LIMs), not Linear Synchronous Motors (LSMs) -- unless those are brakes that I'm thinking of. Hrm.
