Maverick is a steel roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Manufactured by Intamin at a cost of $21 million, it was the 500th roller coaster designed by German engineer Werner Stengel and the first to feature a twisted horseshoe roll element.

Maverick, the world-renowned Intamin steel coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, stands at a height of 105 feet (32 meters). While it may not have the record-breaking height of its neighbors like Millennium Force or Steel Vengeance, Maverick is famous for its "beyond-vertical" first drop, which plunges riders at a 95-degree angle for 100 feet. This 2026 fan-favorite utilizes two linear synchronous motor (LSM) launches to reach speeds of 70 mph, featuring a unique twisted horseshoe roll and multiple high-G banked turns. The ride's relatively low profile is deceptive; it is widely considered one of the most intense and "snappy" coasters in the world. To ride Maverick, guests must be between 52 and 78 inches tall, a requirement strictly enforced to ensure the overhead lap-bar harness can properly secure passengers through its two inversions and rapid transitions.
