Cedar Point’s newest thrill ride, Siren’s Curse, opened last week.
The Ohio amusement park has been calling out to thrill ride lovers for months, teasing that it was building, and then testing, North America’s “tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster”.
“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 park said.
“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 platform holding the train will gradually as the coaster cars descend, riders “peer straight down with the hope their train will connect to the twisted track below”.
The track is 2,966 feet long. The top speed is 58mph. There are two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a twisted and over-banked track.
