SANDUSKY, Ohio – Construction on Cedar Point's new roller coaster is on schedule and it will be ready for opening day in May, according to the Sandusky Register.
The steel coaster called "Maverick" will have a 100-foot first drop and launch riders through a tunnel at speeds of 70 mph. It also will turn them upside down three times.
The track is complete and workers now are focusing on the ride's electrical and underground utilities systems.
A mild winter has helped work on the $21 million ride move along.
The park opens on May 12.
