robbalvey Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hey everyone! We have just finished up the Maverick segment from our new DVD "Roller Coasters in the RAW!" For you coaster footage and POV fans this is probably the most comprehensive video of the ride ever! It includes tons of offride shots from just about every angle and a complete POV from the lift hill to brake run totally unedited! Enjoy the video!!! Yup, that's Maverick with that more-than-ninety-degree drop! It's got lots of twisty gooeyness. It's got lots of airtime that makes grown men go "WHEEEEEEEEE!" Order "Roller Coasters in the RAW!" - Only $10 maverick_raw.zip Download the Cedar Point Maverick video here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 ^ I think there are only three - Maverick, El Toro, and The Voyage. Everything else we shot on our own. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Menefee Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Gotta say thanks again. You're POV is better then park shot version IMO. Keep up the great work. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Woah I didn't know Maverick was this wild! It seems to fly trough it's course. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Looks like a nice "wild" ride. It is really going fast up the lifthill and I am sure the first drop is nice. Thanks for putting all that footage together, Robb. --Soren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarist Chris Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Great video, great ride. I especially like the shots of the water fountains, since when I was on the ride I didn't notice them (until I looked at them later). I think that this is one of the few POVs that actually somewhat gives the thrill of the real ride. I also got my dad, who about three or four years ago would not touch Valleyfair's Wild Thing, to get on this ride. He loved it. The first turn to the left after the second launch is very smooth, but insanely fast. My sister and her friend also rode it, but were held up because of guest illness. Someone apparently leaned back to my sister, and as if it were a medical term, said "projectile vomited". V It also helps that the lift hill is a launch, but this is purposely raw footage.

ginzo Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 So you're not editing out lift hill footage? It's nice that you're branching out, but I hope that you continue to release DVDs in your regular style, which I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks for the POV and Off ride shot of Maverick. I can't wait for "RAW" POV's for El Toro and The Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor6 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks for the great video Robb! Maverick was amazing and now everyone on TPR knows this fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that you're branching out, but I hope that you continue to release DVDs in your regular style, which I really like. Yup, of course. "Coaster Expedition Volume 9" is our next project after Roller Coasters in the RAW, but that probably won't be out until January now. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Awesome! Now this may be the DVD I have been waiting for. I love full, 'raw' POVs with all the lift hill included. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasters 4 me Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just downloaded and what a video!! It is imense!! Love the parts when you see two different trains going around at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianplace Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 hey from seattle! this is an outstanding POV Robb. I like the fact that you kept the wind noise--it really gives a good sense of speed. Maverick was good - I rode it a few weeks ago on the last day of the season- it feels like a giant bucking bronco in some ways. Airtime is ridiculous and the second launch out of the tunnel is pretty intense! (it's a really different ride from Atlantis Adventure in Lotte World, despite them being from the same "family" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Isn't that CP's pov of the ride? Great Off- and On-ride Footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 ^ if you read the first and second posts, Robb actually said that. CP already had one and they gave him a copy of it, so they didn't have to record again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 ^And at the end of the video it says POV by Cedar Point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You'll notice in the POV shot that it is early morning and it is an empty train. The ride gets much faster once it warms up. It's easy to tell by the speed of the second corkscrew, how fast it goes through the brakes in the tunnel, and how fast it goes through the two over banked turns after the launch. Maverick is one of the few coasters I've been on that feel very different in the morning compared to later in the afternoon-night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyfoxx Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 awesome as usual! It certainly looks wild. Can't wait to ride it someday. Just ordered the video, it's gonna be hilarious. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyBo Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Great stuff Robb and Elissa (because she edits videos too!) I am actually looking forward to this DVD more than before. I usually like the crazy TPR antics in parks but this "RAW" stuff I think I'm beginning to like. Keep it up and I can't wait to get the DVD.

coastercrazed49 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Great video Robb! I never realized how fast it goes through the final half of the course. Definitely looks like an awesome ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sweet video. I didn't think I'd like it without any music, but I do! Can I now count this as a credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy88 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Great video Robb! I really want to ride Maverick. It looks really fun! ----Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sweet video. I didn't think I'd like it without any music, but I do! See, it's funny that you say that because my thoughts going into the RAW project was that I wasn't sure how it would be without editing it to music. So in a way my personal challenge was to make an "interesting" non-music video. I do think a lot of it has to do with the way it's edited together. I used to watch other POV footage videos and be bored to tears. While I guess I'm a bit biased, I haven't been bored of any of the RAW segments. I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
