Cedar Point Roller Coaster Strands Riders Mid-Air
On Saturday, June 28, Cedar Point’s newest coaster, Siren’s Curse, froze mid-ride. Riders found themselves hanging upside down for roughly ten minutes. They waited suspended before park staff brought them down safely.
Guests described the moment as terrifying. Some snapped photos and posted them online. Park officials confirmed a mechanical glitch triggered a forced stop.
The incident occurred just hours before a widespread power outage hit the park. That outage had caused delays in several rides. Guests had mixed experiences—some rode early, others felt forced to leave rides early.
Cedar Point crews prioritized safety. They carefully evacuated each rider once the tracks reset. No injuries have been reported. Park spokespeople said the stall came from a ride-control safeguard.
Staff reviewed the ride’s systems immediately. They confirmed that Siren’s Curse was secure before reopening it later that day. Cedar Fair, Cedar Point’s parent company, is investigating the cause. They said they will implement any necessary fixes.
This ride malfunction follows a growing pattern of recent coaster mishaps. Theme parks across the U.S. have faced similar incidents—riders trapped mid-air, storms halting rides, or power failures during peak hours. Still, parks emphasize their safety protocols and inspections.
Cedar Point will conduct a thorough review of Siren’s Curse before reopening it regularly. Park leaders
also pledged to communicate closely with guests during any future ride delays or outages.
This incident underscores the thrill and unpredictability of modern roller coasters. Thankfully, Cedar Point’s measures worked. Riders walked away shaken—but safe.
