Cedar Point announces Siren's Curse tilt roller coaster

Looks like a fun ride, looking forward to ridding.

I think it will be a good addition along with making good use of this section of the park.

If this is the same coaster that was headed (partially if not all on site) for SF Mexico, I am wondering if this is meant as a quick / inexpensive solution to counter the issues of Top Thrill 2? (look here but don't look over there)?

Also nice to see a solid initial ROI from the SF purchase. In terms of capital, just left with transportation and construction costs.

wahoo skipper:

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.

I'm...struggling to understand what you mean.

Sharpel007:

Im glad they went with Vekoma

They went with the storage locker. 😂

It was a merger. They have to pay for all of it regardless.

I have my doubts that this was ever a SF attraction.

A small flat ride, sure... But a coaster is a bit more complex to just up and move, and then plop down at another park spur of the moment. It's also very nicely fit into the land it occupies.

Not to mention the background stuff that has to occur before hand (surveying, project management stuff, etc...).

Impressive if so... But they finalized their merge back in July, so a few months to completely re-route an attraction and make it work and commit to opening in 2025 (which likely, will be done and ready by opening day in typical CF fashion, unless this is one of the changes incoming we can look forward to... In which this opens months late, or gets pushed to 2026 like some other additions at SF properties...)

Have you heard about the six flags ride rotation program?

The same red track arrived at Six Flags Mexico in June.

If it disappears from their storage, you'll have your answer.

I wish we could get a "European style" coaster, with tunnels and other cool stuff. Seems that Disaster Disco is still on google maps street view. That was a fun ride.

So on the press release that GOCC shared, it says early summer of 2025. That doesn't sound like opening day.

Funnily enough, I was at CP last weekend and put in my survey that the big concrete pad adjacent to Iron Dragon is an eyesore.

One week results are extremely impressive. It must be those synergies at work.

Pretty interesting history with this ride if so! But yeah, that will certainly prove it, haha.

I did look and see this is the same layout and all that of the Energylandia proposed ride, so the shoe fits...

I am still intrigued on when they actually decided on this relocation (before the merge finalized?) and any ground work they did ahead of time among other things... Not sure how that works with companies merging and when all the back and forth can really begin... But anyway, not all that important I suppose. It is what it is!

On July 16th Six Flags Mexico announced that in response to demands from local government, the new coaster they requested approval for will be relocated and no trees will be removed in the process.

In a juicy bit of irony, they've relocated the ride to a park known for having no trees at all!

My translation says it will be relocated to another area of the park, not another park entirely. So they must have thought it was still doable up until late summer.

Lets hope it gets a new color scheme and maybe some better theming elements to connect it’s concept to the sea/siren. Be prepared to pay for Fast Lane, its capacity is low and lines will be slow moving.

So if this is the Mexico ride, which it looks to be, does that mean we can start making Dorney jokes about Cedar Point?

SteveWoA said in the closed thread that links to this one:

That is a 100% custom layout ^

I believe this is an off-the-shelf model because of this. Looks the exact same to me.

And I believe it is red because that is what color the ride already was, because it was what was available for whatever reason that someone more "in the know" will disclose sooner or later. That explains the discrepancy in color tied not being tied into the theme. Seems like they were coming up with the theme and story of the coaster at the same time they were deciding whether or not they had time to repaint the already red ride.

It looks rushed to me, which is fine, because at least we get to ride a new, unique coaster.

So That's why I ask, how long ago was this ride planned for this park and this area of the park? My gut tells me this ride is in response to TT2's failure to open. But what do I know? I'm just a fan with an internet connection.

I have to agree with Travis; this feels rushed. This announcement is unlike any previous one. There’s only one video and very basic specs. It feels very much like a Wicked Twister attraction—a "Look over here while we're doing something else" type of attraction. Could it be to take attention away from TT2, or maybe even something else happening on Frontier Trail? I guess only time will tell. I do wonder if this will be modified to support a third train, as I find it hard to believe that Cedar Point would open a new coaster with only two trains.

Nice fit though it may be, it is not a custom ride – it's a standard off-the-shelf model called Cliffhanger. Vekoma has been shopping it around to parks for a few years now.
