The record-breaking tilt roller coaster in North America, known for its height, speed, and length, left thrill-seekers hanging twice over the weekend due to technical issues.
Named Siren’s Curse and situated at Six Flags Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, the coaster faced two separate interruptions on Saturday and Sunday, as noted by Fox 8.
“Over the weekend, the ride encountered technical delays akin to a check-engine light, temporarily halting operations,” a park representative explained to WKYC-TV. “The coaster’s safety systems functioned as intended, ensuring all guests remained secure. Once a full systems inspection was completed, the ride resumed without further issues.”

After crews completed a systems check following each delay, the attraction was reopened to guests shortly after. News Agency 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.
