SANDUSKY — Cedar Point has confirmed that Siren's Curse "experienced a delay that paused the ride's operation" on Saturday, July 19.
Cedar Point spokesperson Tony Clark stated that the incident occurred in the afternoon.
"The coaster’s safety system performed as designed, the ride was restarted, and guests continued their ride. Siren’s Curse reopened shortly after and all guests exited the ride safely," Clark said.
According to Cedar Point, Siren's Curse is 160 feet tall, reaches a speed of 58 miles per hour, and lasts two minutes.
What makes this ride so unique is that the coaster tilts into a 90-degree vertical position. Riders then stare straight down, hoping the train will connect to the next track.
This isn't the first time Siren's Curse has experienced issues.
