Cedar Point announces new roller coaster ‘Siren’s Curse’ for 2025

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WTVG/Gray News) – Cedar Point announced a new ride will open in 2025 that promises to be the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America.

“Siren’s Curse” will be a nod to the park’s location along Lake Erie, themed after the “legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface.”

With nearly 3,000 feet of track, 13 drops and two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls, fans of Cedar Point have something new to look forward to at the legendary amusement park.

“You’ll hear the echo of the siren’s chilling melodies as you ascend an old 160-foot-tall Lake Erie shipping crane tower, the sounds growing more sinister as you reach the top,” Cedar Point’s website reads. “Your fate will hang in the balance as you encounter the roller coaster’s signature moment: a dead stop on a “broken off” section of track. The creaking platform holding your train will slowly tilt into a 90-degree vertical position, forcing you to peer straight down with the hope your train will connect to the twisted track below.”

“Siren’s Curse” will reach speeds of 58 mph and feature an immersive experience including integrated audio and LED lighting.

In a statement, Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point, said the coaster will live up to the park’s standards for top thrills.

“The entire ride is an experience filled with non-stop action, but that first precarious tilted position where you’re hanging on – looking straight down – and waiting for the track to connect will be a signature moment our fans will love. It’s a first-of-its kind for Cedar Point and we’re thrilled to bring it to our guests,” Boldman said.

Cedar Point said “Siren’s Curse” will be the park’s 19th roller coaster.
