The tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America is coming to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
The Roller Coaster Capital of the world said that The Siren's Curse will debut in 2025. The coaster is inspired by the legend of mysterious creatures in Lake Erie, with sirens luring sailors to their capsizing.
Riders will ascend an old 160-foot-tall Lake Erie shipping crane tower, with ominous music getting louder before reaching a dead stop on a "broken off" section of track.
The platform will tilt 90 degrees upon the drop, forcing riders to look straight down,

The coaster will feature 2,966 feet of track with a top speed of 58 mph over the two-minute ride, the park says. It will also include 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed “triple-down” element with twisted and overbanked track, according to Cedar Point.
The new coaster will be located across from the Iron Dragon suspended coaster near Cedar Point's marina.
Including The Siren's Curse, Cedar Point will have 19 roller coasters.
