Cedar Point announces Vekoma tilt coaster for 2025
Siren’s Curse, which will be located across from the Iron Dragon coaster, is described as the tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America.
Out of nowhere Cedar Point has announced that a new coaster will open next year, named "Sirens Curse"
I understand parks are looking to standout with unique offerings, but I'm really struggling to understand this coaster design. Tilt drop seems like a mediocre gimmick (is it really an improvement on valravn dive?), the train configuration is as vanilla as it gets, and the track design seems subpar compared to other offerings in the park. Maybe it will surprise me, I guess we'll see.
I've never been on a full 90 degree tilt coaster but even the slightly sloped one I've been on actually gave me more of a thrill than any holding brake on a B&M dive coaster (like Valravn). Being held at 90 degrees and then suddenly being dropped is going to be something unlike anything you've experienced on a coaster..... This will be on the level of a drop tower. One of these has existed overseas for decades and I've been dreaming of riding it.... I seriously can't wait.
Really? Hmm, interesting it was so much more intense than the brake hold. I haven't had a chance to ride a tilt coaster so will take your word. I did get to ride an impulse coaster that had a hold and straight drop (Geauga Lake's Steel Venom/now Possessed) that was pretty fun. Guess if it's a similar sensation it'll be a good time.
