Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, is known as “The Roller Coaster Capital of the World.” Adding more coaster thrills to its collection of scream machines will be the 2025 debut of Siren’s Curse – the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America.

Riders will ascend a 160-foot-tall lift hill, which leads to a dead stop on a “broken off” section of track. The platform holding the train of riders will slowly tilt the entire train into a 90-degree vertical position, allowing riders to peer straight down.

After the track locks into place, the train is released and riders will plunge into the twisting layout below, speeding through 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58 mph. Siren’s Curse 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.
The two 24-passenger trains on Siren’s Curse will feature integrated audio and signature LED lighting on each car.
Siren’s Curse will be located across from the Iron Dragon suspended coaster and near the Cedar Point Marina. Guests must be 48 inches tall to ride.
