Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio has set an opening date for Siren’s Curse, set to be North America‘s tallest, longest and fastest tilt coaster.
Siren’s Curse is scheduled to debut at Cedar Point on 28 June. Themed to Lake Erie’s fictitious sirens, the new attraction is by Vekoma Rides, the Dutch roller coaster specialist.
On Siren’s Curse, riders will ascend 160 feet before experiencing a dead stop on a “broken off” piece of track, with a creaking platform slowly tilting the trains into a 90-degree vertical position.
As the track locks into place, guests will drop from the top, speeding through 2,966 feet of track at speeds of up to 58 mph.
Siren’s Curse also features 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed “triple-down” element.
Record-breaking coaster at Cedar Point
Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point, said last year:
“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.
“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.”
In more coaster news, Six Flags Great America has opened Wrath of Rakshasa, the steepest and most inverted dive coaster in the world.
With the opening of Siren’s Curse, Cedar Point will offer a total of 19 roller coasters.
