Siren's Curse had two weekend technical delays at Cedar Point, briefly pausing riders in the coaster's vertical tilt position on Saturday and Sunday.

A Cedar Point spokesperson told WKYC that the delays were similar to a check-engine light. The park said the automated safety system worked as designed, crews completed full systems checks, and guests continued their rides normally after each restart.

No injuries were reported in the park statement carried by WKYC and Fox News.

Siren's Curse Weekend Delays

Siren's Curse opened at Cedar Point in 2025 as North America's tallest, longest, and fastest tilt coaster. The ride climbs a 160-foot Lake Erie shipping-crane tower before its signature section stops the train and tilts the track to 90 degrees.

The coaster runs through 2,966 feet of track with a 58 mph top speed, 13 airtime moments, and two 360-degree barrel rolls. Vekoma manufactured the ride, which has a 48-inch minimum height requirement and an 80-inch maximum height.

The latest delays happened less than a year after the coaster's debut season, when Siren's Curse also drew attention for pauses during early operation. Cedar Point's current explanation frames this weekend's stops as safety-system pauses rather than a guest injury or evacuation event.
