SANDUSKY, Ohio – Cedar Point’s record-breaking Siren’s Curse tilt roller coaster has moved one step closer to completion.
A construction crew Tuesday lifted the ride’s hinged tilt track to the highest point on the roller coaster.
This 45-ton, 61-foot-long section of track is the ride’s signature terrifying element. It teeters the coaster’s train into a 90-degree vertical position before locking into place and releasing riders into the 2,966 feet of twisting track below.
Siren’s Curse is expected to open in early summer, becoming Cedar Point’s 19th roller coaster.
It will be North America’s tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster.
Playing on the legend of the Lake Erie siren, a creature that lives in the water, the coaster lures its riders with on-board audio and dynamic LED lighting.
