Cedar Point has just announced a new record-breaking roller coaster known as Siren’s Curse will open in the park next year for the 2025 season.
As the park's 19th roller coaster, Siren’s Curse is being called the tallest, fastest and longest tilt coaster in North America.
“Siren’s Curse hearkens to the legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie; often spoken of – but never spotted,” according to a press release from Cedar Point. “The sirens of the lake who lured sailors to their underwater demise with their sweet, seductive songs will finally rise to land and attempt to entrap guests in a sinister two-minute fate of non-stop roller coaster innovation.”
SIREN’S CURSE RIDE EXPLAINED
Here’s how Cedar Point describes the new Siren’s Curse ride experience:
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.

SIREN’S CURSE RIDE LOCATION
While many had speculated this new attraction would be built in the space held by the recently closed Snake River Falls boat ride, Cedar Point says Siren’s Curse will be located across from the Iron Dragon suspended roller coaster near the Cedar Point Marina.
Guests must be at least 48” tall to ride.
