As someone who has braved the heights and twists of some of the most thrilling rollercoasters in the world, I can confidently say that Cedar Point’s upcoming attraction, Siren’s Curse, is pushing the boundaries of what I consider a reasonable adrenaline rush. The concept of being suspended in mid-air and then tilted 90 degrees? That’s a hard pass from this rollercoaster enthusiast!
In the spirit of expanding their offerings for guests, Cedar Point is aiming to deliver some major adrenaline rushes too, as demonstrated by a recent announcement they’ve made. By the end of this week, this Ohio amusement park has given fans an exciting sneak peek at a brand new, heart-stopping rollercoaster. While many are undoubtedly excited about this upcoming attraction, some have expressed on social media their shared apprehension that I resonate with deeply.
Cedar Point has revealed a preliminary design for Siren’s Curse, scheduled to debut in the summer of 2025. Based on tales of enigmatic sea creatures dwelling deep within Lake Erie, this thrilling ride promises to be the tallest, swiftest, and longest ’tilt’ coaster in North America according to People.
As an excited enthusiast, I’ll be scaling up a towering Lake Erie shipping crane that stands at a staggering 160 feet, accompanied by eerie echoes, until I reach a shattered stretch of track and am abruptly tilted 90 degrees. If you find this exhilarating, feast your eyes on the concept video below to truly grasp the adrenaline-pumping experience that awaits:
I’m someone who enjoys a thrilling rollercoaster ride every now and then, having had fantastic experiences on Universal Orlando’s The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Busch Gardens’ Loch Ness Monster in Williamsburg, and more. However, Siren’s Curse seems to be an entirely unique experience that has me feeling a bit apprehensive. I’m not comfortable with the idea of being both suspended in mid-air and tilted, and it seems others share my doubts. One person even posted a question on X about this very concern that was echoing in my mind as well.
A viewer, @scoot1105, expressed their thoughts beneath the video shared by Cedar Point on the mentioned platform. They acknowledged the exciting appearance of the ride, but also brought up an additional, truthful perspective:
Good heavens! It appears delightful, but under no circumstances will I find myself boarding that! My life is just as I prefer it, thank you very much! 😄😄😄
As a dedicated fan, I’d like to mention that @birkshnart joined in with the chorus too! Their contribution was just a single word, as you’ll notice when you read it further down.
Nope
Some may have been under the impression that a runaway camel may have been the wildest development involving Cedar Point this year, but not so. In fairness, the park, which changed its rollercoaster safety rules in regard to “loose articles” this year, does know how to thrill fans. Nevertheless, many of them also took to Facebook to share thoughts on Siren’s Curse, and you can see some of those reactions below:
- What in the Final Destination??? – Jessica Bellamy
- Absolutely not! Lol that looks even more terrifying than anything. [Twisting] the tracks to align, trusting the brakes to keep you from flying off while it’s tilting. I got trust issues – Corinne Blackstone
- No hell no, you had be till I saw that track move down. – Dale Edward Sacksteder II
- No thank you, I stay with my train 🚂 rides – Lucas Keilman
The intriguing name for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Fast and Furious roller coaster has been disclosed, but there’s a disappointing twist: one bit of annoying news.
It’s not the first instance this year where news about a roller coaster at the park owned by Cedar Fair has been in the spotlight. Earlier in May, Top Thrill 2 had to be shut down following its opening due to a technical problem. This ride was already under scrutiny because of an incident that took place in August last year. During that time, a piece of metal came loose from the coaster (known as Top Thrill Dragster at the time) and struck a visitor on the head.
To sum it up, Siren’s Curse stands out remarkably due to its unique nature and bold concept. Although some social media feedback might suggest otherwise, I believe a lot of people will be eagerly waiting for its opening next year. As for me, I’m currently hesitant about joining the throng, but maybe my feelings could shift in time. Fingers crossed that the construction of the roller coaster progresses smoothly!
