That's true. I did forget about that.New Texas Giant does have a MCBR after its big overbanks
I'm curious as to why the tweet mentioned the block breaks specifically though.

It's definitely the park with that Twitter. It's not a question.
IOE the company that did the launch for Lightning Rod, signed a deal with Cedar Fair last year. Or did the electrical work. I don't remember but they were involved. It could be the case of a mid course launch, but I doubt it. Yet there aren't three stalls on this so I'm not satisfied yet.

Haha!
I did say my theory was crazy. If there's not a launch on this coaster, and it didn't get CRAZY long in terms of actual track length, I will be highly disappointed.

Because it was a genuine question. They are still standing. The guy who is running the twitter account is NOT Tony. It's an employee that likely doesn't know that much about the coaster. I also find it interesting that they haven't had a new picture in days.
They also don't use it.New Texas Giant does have a MCBR after its big overbanks
I'm not worried about launches, inversions, etc. It's an RMC - everything else is icing on the cake.

This photo isn't even on the Twitter account, but it looks like someone somehow got a pic of an inversion.

I would love to see some definitive proof it's not Tony or an employee that doesn't know much.
They don't look like contractor photos, and the access that the person is getting is because they obviously work at the park.

This is almost like when you didn't get br pic rides and track layout pictures before you got the first ride video just before opening. People are sneaking around trying to get pictures and the parks releasing just enough info to drive everyone Batty. Of course this last picture isn't from the new mean streak account so until they post something showing better angle as far as I'm concerned that account is a staff member playing us all for publicity.

Nice pictures can't wait to see more. They're is obviously a hint at a name. Could this end up being similar to what's in the shed for mystic timbers? So we are looking at a name that has multiple things or people in its name.

I had a friend tell me this theory..... May sound a bit delusional. "They're coming," as in RMC renovations to other old, unpopular woodies in the chain besides Hurler? I don't know if he was joking with that but it made me go "ahhhh that may make sense!"

I have seen some reports of trademarks registered by Cedar Point before but can't seem to find it now.
A shame that they didn't continue in that direction, though. Maverick is arguably the first major coaster in the park not to put all its eggs in one basket. It's not the largest, or the fastest, or the first, or the one with the most inversions, or the one with the most anything, really. It's just a rather big, really solid coaster that doesn't attempt to break any records, it's just created to give a good riding experience using a mix of various elements, without turning any of them into a gimmick.
