New Coaster Coming to Cedar Point in 2007

Tuesday September 12, 2006

For its 17th coaster, the thrill machine cowboys at Ohio's Cedar Point (God bless 'em) have decided not to attempt any height or speed records. In fact, when Maverick opens in 2007, it will scale a relatively puny 105-foot hill, and drop a mere 100 feet. From there, the coaster will mostly hug the ground. That doesn't mean maverick won't be a load of fun, however. With its low profile and wild layout, the near-ground-level maneuvers will actually seem all the more intense. And a mid-course launch through a lights-out tunnel will be among the highlights of the rootin'-tootin' Western-themed ride. Read more about Maverick.
