America's Top Coaster: 3 Cedar Point Rides Contending

SANDUSKY, OH — The Maverick, Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance have all been named to the list of the 20 best roller coasters in America. Only one of them can claim the title of best in the nation, though. And voters will help pick the winner.

The coasters were selected as three of the best 20 coasters by a panel of theme park experts for this year's USA Today's Reader Choice Awards. People can vote daily on their favorite coaster until voting ends June 11 at noon.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, Kennywood's Phantom's Revenge is leading voting. That seems unacceptable. Here are the candidates from Cedar Point.

Steel Vengeance is the newest of the three roller coasters, having debuted in May 2018. Vengeance is the world's tallest and fastest hybrid coaster. With a track that runs 5,740 feet, Steel Vengeance boasts the with the steepest drop (90 degrees), longest drop (200 feet), most inversions (four), and most airtime (27.2 seconds) of any hybrid coaster in existence.

The Millennium Force has been a park favorite for nearly two decades. The coaster hits speeds of 93 mph, and takes riders 310 feet into the air (before dropping them). The ride lasts approximately two minutes, but the thrill has kept riders coming back again and again for another thrill. Vote for the Millennium Force by clicking here.

The Maverick is a beloved, 11-year-old coaster that has a Wild West theme. The coaster features an insanely steep drop, with riders diving at a 90 degree angle (gulp). The Maverick features plenty of twists, turns, horseshoe rolls and poorly lit tunnels. Vote for the Maverick by clicking here.
