It happened again.
For the second time in less than a week, Cedar Point's new record-breaking roller coaster left riders stranded high above the park's Midway. Siren's Curse abruptly stopped atop its 160-foot-tall tower.
Park spokesman Tony Clark said the "delay" on Tuesday, July 22, was the result of the coaster's safety system halting the ride before engaging its signature tilt feature where riders dangle over the Midway while the coaster attaches to the track below. "Its safety system performed as designed, but the ride could not be restarted," Clark said. "Guests were safely escorted off the ride."
At least three other incidents have been reported at the coaster, which opened June 28, less than a month before the incidents. While it's not unusual for new attractions to experience hiccups, coaster incidents always attract extra attention.
So, how frequently is Siren's Curse down? Here's what to know.
