- The roller coaster, called Siren’s Curve, will be at Cedar Point
- Siren’s Curse will be the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America.
- Also features a ‘broken off’ section of track to add to the scares
For all you thrill seekers out there, a new roller coaster, which includes a dead stop on a ‘broken off’ section of track will open next year.
Tallest, longest, fastest
Siren’s Curse, billed as the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America will open at Cedar Point.
The central theme of Siren’s Curse is that it taps into the legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie; often spoken of – but never spotted.
The sirens of the lake are said to have lured sailors to their underwater demise with their sweet, seductive songs. For this ride, they will rise to land and attempt to entrap guests in a two-minute fate of non-stop roller coaster innovation.
Riders will hear the echo of the siren’s chilling melodies as they ascend an old 160-foot-tall Lake Erie shipping crane tower, the sounds growing more sinister as riders reach the top. Their fate will hang in the balance as they encounter the roller coaster’s signature moment: a dead stop on a ‘broken off’ section of track. The creaking platform holding the train of riders will slowly tilt the entire train into a 90-degree vertical position, forcing riders to peer straight down with the hope their train will connect to the twisted track below.
As the track locks into place, riders will flee from the beckoning call of the siren and plunge into the abyss, speeding through 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58mph. The ride will feature 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed “triple-down” element with twisted and overbanked track.
Adding to the immersive experience, the two, 24-passenger trains on Siren’s Curse will feature integrated audio and signature LED lighting on each car.
First of its kind
“Record-breaking thrills have always been at the heart of Cedar Point’s roller coaster lineup, and Siren’s Curse lives up to that standard,” said Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “The entire ride is an experience filled with non-stop action, but that first precarious tilted position where you’re hanging on – looking straight down – and waiting for the track to connect will be a signature moment our fans will love. It’s a first-of-its kind for Cedar Point and we’re thrilled to bring it to our guests.”
