Cedar Point, located in Sandusky, Ohio, features an exquisite collection of 18 world-class rides, including Top Thrill 2, Steel Vengeance and Millennium Force, and is dubbed “The Roller Coaster Capital of the World.”
Recently, the theme park announced yet another thrill for excitement addicts — Siren’s Curse, the “tallest, longest and fastest” tilt coaster in North America — that will leave even those living on the edge hesitating whether or not to take a ride.
Inspired by folk legends of mysterious creatures said to dwell in the depths of Lake Erie, where the park is located on a peninsula, the ride ascends 160 feet before pausing on a segment of track that tilts to a full 90 degrees, creating the illusion of a “broken” track.
Riders are then plunged through 2,966 feet of twisted track at speeds of up to 58 mph. They experience 13 airtime moments and two 360° barrel rolls.
“Come face-to-face with 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed ‘triple-down’ element with twisted and overbanked track,” the website of Cedar Point writes of their newest attraction.
They also include health and safety advice. “Riders will experience changes in speed and direction, weightlessness, and rapid movements from side to side.
“A shoulder harness with a between-the-legs safety belt secures each rider over the head and across the chest.”
After the theme park shared a video of the terrifying tilt coaster, many were quick to compare it to scenes from the horror film Final Destination.
“I don’t ever get scared on roller coasters. But this one would have my heart pumping. Especially that back row,” one person commented.
“I love roller coasters and I love Cedar Point, but I’m not doing a disconnected track,” another added.
A third commented, “I prefer the tracks to be attached at all times.”
Siren’s Curse will be greet its first wave of brave riders by mid-June 2025.
