Siren's Curse Strands Riders Vertically Twice as 90-Degree Coaster Hits Another Safety Pause

Summary
Two separate technical delays on Saturday and Sunday left riders on Cedar Point's Siren's Curse briefly suspended in a vertical position before the ride resumed.
Cedar Point said the coaster's automated safety system detected a condition requiring inspection, paused operation as designed, and allowed crews to restart the ride after complete system checks.
The record-breaking attraction tilts riders 90 degrees and holds them vertically while the track locks into place before the first drop, making the stoppages especially visible to guests.
Siren's Curse opened in June 2025 and suffered a similar first-day glitch that reportedly left riders hanging vertically for about 10 minutes, adding to scrutiny of the new ride.
