A new, record-breaking roller coaster will open at Cedar Point in 2025, officials at the Sandusky, Ohio-based park announced today.
“Siren’s Curse is the tallest, fastest and longest tilt coaster in North America,” Cedar Point communications director Tony Clark told Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview.

“The whole purpose of a thrill ride is really to give you a thrill. That’s the main thing. And there’s always a sense of danger, but the danger, though, is only in your mind because the manufacturer does a lot of testing,” he said, adding that Cedar Point also does its own testing on the rides.

He said, “And then once it is locked, this tilting table will open and rotate 90 degrees.”
“That’s why there are so many safety precautions built into the ride’s safety systems. If even one little thing doesn’t work, it’s a ‘check engine’ light and the ride doesn’t run.”
