North America’s tallest, fastest, and longest tilt roller coaster encountered unexpected halts over the weekend, leaving riders momentarily suspended in a vertical position.
The Siren’s Curse, situated at Six Flags Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, faced technical issues on both Saturday and Sunday, as reported by Fox 8.
“Over the weekend, the roller coaster experienced technical pauses akin to a ‘check-engine light,’ which temporarily halted its operation,” a park spokesperson shared with WKYC-TV. “The safety system functioned as intended, ensuring the safety of all guests. After a thorough system inspection, the ride was resumed, allowing guests to continue their experience.”

The Siren’s Curse, Cedar Point’s latest attraction, was unveiled to media and roller coaster enthusiasts on June 26, 2025, in Ohio. This past weekend, the coaster faced two distinct technical setbacks, momentarily suspending riders in an upright position.
The park reiterated to Fox 8 that the automated safety system had simply detected a condition that required a pause for inspection.

After crews completed a systems check following each delay, the attraction was reopened to guests shortly after. News Media has reached out to Cedar Point for further comment.
Described by the park as a record-breaking attraction, Siren’s Curse tilts riders at a 90-degree angle, holding them vertically as the track locks into place before the first drop.

The ride originally opened at Cedar Point in June 2025. On its very first day of operation, it experienced a similar glitch, leaving riders suspended vertically for about 10 minutes, according to local reports.
