Maximum Overdrive (rollercoaster)

Maximum Overdrive is a steel roller coaster built by a division of Infra Corporation located at Liberty Gardens in Everett City, New York, Union of Everett. It is the first roller coaster built at the park. Standing 600 feet tall above ground at its highest point and another 200 feet under ground, the coaster overlooks Liberty Gardens and provides a view of Everett City in the distance. When built in 2008, it was the first roller coaster to exceed 600 feet in height, and remains the tallest closed circuit roller coaster in the world. Additionally, it is the longest steel roller coaster in the Union of Everett. It utilizes a a burst cable lift system, rather than a traditional chain lift, allowing for the coaster train to reach the peak at faster speeds.

Ride Layout
While the train is being loaded in the station, the catch car for the cable lift descends the lift and latches onto the middle car of the train. Once the train is cleared, the cable lift pulls the train up a 55 degree lift hill at 25 miles per hour to a height of 600 feet. After reaching the top, the train drops 600 to the surface and enters an underground tunnel, dropping another 200 feet down at an 85 degree angle and reaches a top speed of 155 miles per hour at the bottom of the hill. The track rises again to over 300 feet and braking to a speed of 75 miles per hour as it drops again 300 feet and entering a corkscrew loop followed by a half looping corkscrew. Using a burst system, the train rises 275 feet reaching a speed of 100 miles per hour and dropping 350 feet into an underground tunnel, again rising 175 feet and entering a banked spiral and dropping to the surface, entering another loop followed by a corkscrew left bank turn. The train then rides three smaller hills of 150 feet tall each before braking to 35 miles per hour using magnetic brakes. The train will make a left banking turn, braking to 5 miles per hour and enter the original station where riders can get off.
