Cedar Point announces Siren's Curse tilt roller coaster
Posted
From the official Cedar Point site:
The legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie comes to life with Siren's Curse, North America’s TALLEST, LONGEST & FASTEST tilt coaster.
Often spoken of – but never spotted, the sirens of the lake who lured sailors to their underwater demise with their sweet, seductive songs will finally rise to the land above Cedar Point and attempt to entrap you in a sinister two-minute fate of non-stop roller coaster innovation.
The roller coaster will be 160 feet tall and reach a speed of 58 mph.

Ryan The Ride Mechanic has a great video on how he thinks the tilt coasters work, safety-wise. Interesting stuff. And very terrifying.
JRR and Flying Cobras both have either the same thing or very similar vests to what Siren's Curse will have.
what does JRR stand for?

Counting down the days until I'm back at Cedar Point, the one and only place to be.
Hoping to do a drive-by of Hershey tomorrow on my way to State College. Is it worth my time to stop at the Chocolate World store?

I was actually thinking more about a spin on their little tour/ride...and a Hershey's Yeungling Lager.

The chocolate ride is really fun and a high quality experience. You get a free piece of Hershey's candy as an added plus. And the chocolate mall is huge. Well worth a stop.
They also have a 4-D chocolate movie and you can create your own personalized candy bar, IIRC.

Sorry for the double post. It's because the first post wasn't on topic...
This video from the local news station about the ride topping off was in my YouTube feed this morning.

^Nice video... SC looks good but I can't stop looking at Iron Dragon. Who else thinks it would look good with green/forest green supports? Any green is good in my book.
Personally I think a new coat of paint is due for Iron Dragon. Before SC, I'd say give IG its old Red and Gray colors, but thats not really possible with SC being built next door. Perhaps a Red and Yellow design, or maybe something new entirely, like green track and yellow supports.

Ferrari red supports, chartreuse spine, cyan left rail, magenta right rail, and track ties alternating between neon yellow and **** brown. Train cars the colors of tropical fruit Skittles.

Which sounds awesome...if you're 8.
(I'm just giving you crap. 🙂)
No. I hate 8 year olds. Chocolate World is great.
I may be in the minority but I’m not fond of milk chocolate so I actually turned down the kind lady’s offer of a free Hershey kiss upon stepping off the World’s Fair-style chocolate ride. She looked at me like she thought I surely must be kidding, but I had to tell her that I really didn’t like them. And what a crestfallen face she made, which told of how she suddenly regretted her career choice. Got any Special Dark? No? Ok then…
One time they featured a new product, chocolate hard candies that were kind of like life savers and I think there were various flavors. Anyway, they were good.
I’d be in favor of a drinking fountain that dispensed Hershey Syrup.
