Siren's Curse roller coaster strands riders vertically twice in one weekend at Six Flags Cedar Point
The tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America got stuck twice over the weekend in a vertical position, leaving riders temporarily suspended.
Siren’s Curse, located at Six Flags Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, experienced separate technical delays on Saturday and Sunday, Fox 8 reported.
"On Saturday and Sunday, the coaster experienced technical delays (similar to a check-engine light) that paused its operation," a park spokesperson told WKYC-TV. "Its safety system performed as designed, keeping all guests safe. Following a complete systems check, the ride was restarted and guests continued their ride as normal."

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. Fox News Digital 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.
