Cedar Point's new Siren's Curse coaster strands riders again. How often is the ride down?
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. Siren's Curse uptime statistics Since its opening, Siren's Curse has been running about 85% of the time during the theme park's operating hours, according to statistics at Ride Forces Database. The roller coaster's longest downtime so far has been on July 16, when it was running for only 60% of Cedar Point's day. Are theme park rides safe? What you should know if you're worried How many times has Siren's Curse gotten stuck? It's happened at least four times, including the night of July 22. The first time it happened was on its opening day, when the Siren's Curse stopped with the tilt coaster in its vertical position, leaving passengers pointing straight down for about 10 minutes. It happened again on July 2, when passengers had to walk down from the 160-foot platform after the ride stopped, leaving them seated (but not tilted) for about an hour. Then on July 19, Siren's Curse got stuck mid-ride, leaving passengers stranded at about a 45-degree angle on the tilt for 20 minutes until the ride was restarted. "The coaster's safety system performed as designed, the ride was restarted, and guests continued their ride," Clark said at the time. "It reopened shortly after and all guests exited the ride safely." What to know about Siren's Curse The newest addition to the Sandusky theme park is billed as the tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America. The name "Siren's Curse" comes from the mythical sirens who reside in Lake Erie and lure sailors with their singing. After riders ascend the 160-foot lift hill, they stop on the edge of a piece of "broken" track. Suddenly, that piece of track tilts 90 degrees, connecting to more track below before sending riders straight down. In all, riders travel 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58 mph. The ride features 13 instances of weightlessness (called airtime moments) along with two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed 'triple-down' element with twisted and overbanked track.

Siren's Curse at Cedar Point stops 160 feet off the ground, forcing riders to walk down
Cedar Point's newest roller coaster has once again provided riders with some unexpected and unintended terror. Cedar Point guests on July 2 found themselves stuck on top of the Siren's Curse roller coaster's 160-foot-tall lift hill. But unlike riders on June 28 who found themselves dangling facing the ground, the latest incident happened before the coaster's signature tilt feature had started. Park spokesman Tony Clark said the coaster once again "experienced a delay that paused the ride's operation" and left riders sitting in the coaster cars for about an hour on Wednesday evening. "(The coaster's) safety system performed as designed, but the ride could not be restarted," he said. "Guests were safely escorted off the ride." The riders had to walk down the 160-foot-tall platform using the attraction's evacuation stairs.

The ride's signature feature is atop the 160-foot-tall lift hill where the coaster train precariously tilts riders to the ground and track below. After the coaster connects to the track below, riders then experience some 2,966 feet of twisting track at a top speed of 58 mph. Clark said the coaster, which made its public debut on June 28, has reopened.
