Cedar Point’s newest roller coaster, Siren’s Curse, will make its debut on June 28, the park announced Wednesday. Siren’s Curse is a tilt coaster, named after the signature feature that will lock riders in place into a section of track which is then tilted 90 degrees before releasing the train into the rest of its 2,966-foot layout. The whole ride will include two 360-degree barrel roll inversions and what Cedar Point calls “13 weightless airtime moments” while reaching a top speed of 58 mph.
