The tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America got stuck twice over the weekend in a vertical position, leaving riders temporarily suspended.
Siren’s Curse, located at Six Flags Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, experienced separate technical delays on Saturday and Sunday, Fox 8 reported.
“On Saturday and Sunday, the coaster experienced technical delays (similar to a check-engine light) that paused its operation,” a park spokesperson told WKYC-TV. “Its safety system performed as designed, keeping all guests safe. Following a complete systems check, the ride was restarted and guests continued their ride as normal.”

After crews completed a systems check following each delay, the attraction was reopened to guests shortly after. Fox News Digital has reached out to Cedar Point for further comment.
Described by the park as a record-breaking attraction, Siren’s Curse tilts riders at a 90-degree angle, holding them vertically as the track locks into place before the first drop.
