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.

In the previous instance, ride technicians were about to reset the coaster and the ride resumed after about 10 minutes.
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.
