Cedar Point to Add Another Record-Breaking Roller Coaster in 2025

SANDUSKY, Ohio – Siren’s Curse will be the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America when it opens next season at Cedar Point amusement park.

The ride, which is scheduled to open in summer 2025, hearkens to the legend of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie. The sirens of the lake who lured sailors to their demise with their seductive songs attempt to entrap guests in the two-minute ride.

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 58 mph. 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.

Located across from the Iron Dragon suspended coaster and near the Cedar Point Marina, the ride’s tangled and compact layout will provide a high-thrill experience. Guests must be 48 inches tall to ride Siren’s Curse.

“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 nonstop 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.”

With the addition of Siren’s Curse, Cedar Point will be home to an impressive lineup of 19 roller coasters. As previously announced, the record-breaking triple-launch strata coaster Top Thrill 2 is scheduled to reopen in 2025.
