New for 2007, Maverick at Cedar Point was a different kind of coaster for Cedar Point. Instead of trying to be the tallest and/or fastest of it's kinda, Maverick is unique in that it's signature features are low to the ground, tight turns, and a custom layout.
Beginning with just a 105' foot climb, Maverick has a 95 degree (beyond vertical), 100' drop. From here, the coaster winds through the man made canyon, over an airtime hill, and through the custom-made twisted horseshoe roll. After, riders are launched to 70 mph before slowing and again into more near-miss turns.
Despite it's rather unimpressive height, speed and other statistics, Maverick's new approach makes it one of the top coasters in the park, and a fan favorite. Maverick also earned the title. of Best New Ride for 2007 from Amusement Today's Golden Tickets Award. The ride consistently gets rated as one of the Top 20 coasters on the planet; an impressive feat for a small coaster. Maverick is a stand-out among it's fellow Cedar Point coasters, and has become a must ride for any park-goer.
