Cedar Point’s historic new coaster left riders stranded once again, marking the latest in a string of stalls since the ride opened last month, leading many to question what exactly is happening with the ride?
Park officials said a delay Tuesday “paused the ride’s operation,” but the delay wasn’t actually a malfunction.
It was a “technical issue,” described more like a “check engine light.”
“The coaster’s safety system performed as designed, the ride was restarted, and guests continued their ride. It reopened shortly after and all guests exited the ride safely,” a spokesperson for the park said.
Reports have indicated the ride has stopped at least four times since it opened on June 28, including one issue on opening day.
According to local reports and social media footage, the brand-new roller coaster, which marks the country’s first tilt coaster, left riders suspended facing straight down for several minutes on its first day open.
Reports indicated the ride was stopped for just under 10 minutes.
Video footage showed maintenance workers bringing the ride back from its tilt following the malfunction.
USA Today reported at least two other previous incidents that left riders suspended, including one on July 2 in which riders had to evacuate the ride and walk down.
Still, according to data from Ride Forces, the ride has been running about 85% of the time since it opened.
What is Siren’s Curse?
The new attraction, Siren’s Curse, is known as a “tilt coaster,” where the track that detaches from the lift hill and tilts forward to re-attach with the track of the 90 degree vertical drop.
