Project 2007 = MAVERICK
Maverick is Cedar Point's newest roller coaster! It will travel over 4,450 feet of steel tubular track. From the top (105 feet high), the ride will drop 100 feet at a 95 degree angle. The ride will include 3 inversions and a second launch while going through a dark tunnel. The ride has an average speed of 70 mph!
Some fun facts:

- Maverick is situated on 5.5 acres of land in Frontiertown.
- Maverick’s queue line utilizes the former White Water Landing’s loading/unloading station.
- Maverick is the fourth longest coaster at Cedar Point.
- Each piece of Maverick’s track weighs about one and a half tons.
- Maverick features 10 banked turns from 62 to 92 degrees.

Me??? No, never. Jeannette (whom I go to Cedar Point with)...Yes, maybe a little (or a lot). You should see her at Cedar Point. She runs around like a kid in a candy store. It's great!
