Cedar Point’s New Siren’s Curse Coaster Stuck Vertically Five Days After Opening

Cedar Point's newest roller coaster, Siren’s Curse, touted as North America’s tallest, longest, and fastest tilt coaster, experienced a significant delay shortly after opening. The ride got stuck in a vertical position for approximately 10 minutes, with some riders reporting being stuck closer to 20 minutes, but no evacuations were necessary and all guests exited safely. The coaster features a unique design where the train stops on a 'broken off' piece of track and tilts 90 degrees before plunging at 58 mph, providing a thrilling experience inspired by the myth of Lake Erie’s sirens. Park officials confirmed the ride’s safety systems worked as designed, and after a 25-minute closure, the ride resumed normal operation. Despite the incident, Siren’s Curse remains a major attraction alongside Cedar Point’s other rides and waterpark, offering a mix of innovation and tradition in the popular Ohio amusement park. Videos of the stoppage went viral on social media, highlighting the unexpected but safe interruption on opening weekend.
