Cedar Point's tallest and fastest, Top Thrill Dragster, is 420' tall and hits a top speed of 120 mph.
This coaster goes in a different direction obviously. Maverick is intended to appeal to a larger audience than the mega fast/tall coasters.

And I think that there is actually a law now prohibiting the construction of new coasters over 400' tall in the US. TTD was built before the law went into affect.
EDIT: I was incorrect about the law.
