Cedar Point announces Siren's Curse tilt roller coaster

Whoever wrote that copy should have their keyboard taken away.

Cool ride though.

Well, certainly not a water slide. Very cool!

Who would have imagined that this would be featured on the IAAPA show floor circa 2000 and it would take 25 years for one to show up in the US? And now 2 are going to open in the same year.

Where is the other? I guess I haven't been paying attention.

^ Cotaland in Texas.

This sure came out of left field. The fact that Kings Dominion's 2025 coaster is ready for testing and this one doesn't even have survey markers yet leads to a lot of questions. Regardless, I'm suddenly very excited about 2025 at the Point with *two* major new coasters. (We can forget about the week that TT2 ran this year.)

Why?

Seems it's going on top of what used to be a dorm I lived in. Looks twisty with a nice lawn. The lighted train looks cool!

Wasn't Six Flags Mexico supposed to have a tilt coaster installed????

Straight out of RCT3

Looks like fun. Would ride!

although, what’s the difference between a drop coaster and a tilt coaster other than the gimmick of the tilt?

Word on the street is that this is that ride.

Everything?

This new ride will be a polar opposite... Quick, snappy and super intense. The tilt feature will likely be a lot more fun than a dive holding drop.

Valravn (and most other dive coasters) are often very poorly paced and only really offer a nice drop/view, otherwise they chug along the course like a freight train and are not very exciting, all things considered.

This is a great add for the park, for a steel coaster at least (maybe one day they will actually hire GCI to work some magic). The only other steel addition I could think of would be a Mack Xtreme Spinner, thrill coaster wise, to their diverse portfolio.

And all the kids can build this in Planet Coaster 2 in a month and a half!

Re: SeveWoA, finally someone gets me about B&M dive coasters! Aside from the drop I don't get them at all.

I know this is pure rumor and speculation, but it would be hilarious if Zimmerman's first act as Six Flags CEO was to steal a coaster from a Six Flags park and put it in one of his legacy parks instead.

Im glad they went with Vekoma, I just wish they would of actually went with an uber family coaster like big bear mountain… what they need more then a tilt.

Maybe they can move Gold Striker from Cali!

Considering Mystic Timbers climbing the rankings, Ghostrider holding strong, GoldStriker, Prowler, and Renegade. It’s not like old CF was GCI averse. But hey the rest of the island and snake rivers spot are still open. So one can only dream of a longer Mystic being put there.

Looks awesome! A few thoughts, bulleted for your pleasure:

• It's a gimmick plus an interesting layout that looks intense and snappy.
• Cool name. Original.
• Needs more trees.
• Looks like they're going to be rerouting Perimeter Road. There are a lot of boat slips at the north end of the marina, so I wonder if they're going to be able to maintain any of the parking in that area.
• Red track again? Color scheme is blah and doesn't really match the sea creature theme. Red must be the cheapest paint. Purple track with black supports would really pop next to the coasters that are in the vicinity. At least that's what I would've colored them in RCT/PC.
• Trains look sweet.
• I'm guessing the OTS "vests" are there because of the holding-you-vertically-for-a-few-seconds element, because otherwise I think the need for OTSRs when you go upside down has been proven to be a myth at this point.

I'm not sure what the point of the lift hill is if you are going to have a tilt...or what the point of the tilt is if you are going to have a lift hill. Maybe that is an ignorant question coming from someone who has not ridden a tilt rollercoaster.

I was wondering about capacity with only two trains...but if they can get TT2 open next year as well then maybe it is not the worst time to introduce a coaster with average capacity.
