Cedar Point visitors were stuck on a “tilt” roller coaster for nearly 20 minutes, marking the third time the ride has malfunctioned since opening.

Riders on “Siren’s Curse” at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, were stuck on the ride for about 20 minutes on July 19 while suspended at a 45-degree angle, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

The “Siren’s Curse” ride has a maximum height of 160 feet and reaches speeds up to 58 mph.

Tony Clark, a spokesman for Cedar Point, said the ride reopened shortly after the incident.
