This is indeed the one that Six Flags bought from Energylandia and started construction at SFM and was facing issues with the local government. Cedar Fair management took over and decided to take it to Cedar Point instead. -
By thepoint4life23 · Posted
I heard this was the one going to Six flags Mexico. Interested to hear me details on this. Ride should be fun. worried about how long the line will be for this. Happy to see them finally doing something with this dirt. Does this ride have a theme of pissed off mermaids? -
Is this the coaster Energylandia was getting before they lost funding? Perhaps SF got got a good deal last minute. -
By abovethesink · Posted
Damn, this came from left of left field. Did the new Six Flags redirect the tilt from Mexico to Cedar Point in order to wash the bad PR taste of TT2, I wonder? -
By BobloLives · Posted
Is this the first Vekoma at Cedar Point??? (checks rcdb...) First major Vekoma!!! Similarly excited for this and did not see it coming. They played the ol' switcheroo with closing Snake River Falls. Aquatrax for 2028 -

I woke up and saw this on FB and immediately checked the calendar to see if it was April 1st. Seriously, this caught me completely off guard. My initial thoughts were 1) why a tilt coaster when you already have a dive coaster? The gimmick is relatively similar, and they even went and put it right next to Valravn! Then I saw the drop being twisted and realized that should be different enough so that's it's not too redundant. 2) 160 feet tall seems almost like a junior coaster when it comes to Cedar Point. I don't have any issues with it, and they are calling it North America's tallest, longest and fastest tilt coaster... so I guess it's not a big deal. 3) I sincerely hope they maintain the onboard audio. That is such a cool touch on coasters. 4) With Rapterra already complete at KD and there being little to no work done other than clearing the site at CP, will this be like most Six Flags rides and open "later in the season"? And finally 5) It is awesome to see Cedar Point adding a new-gen Vekoma. The only new Vekoma I have ridden was Snoopy's Soap Box Racers and that was glass smooth. Looking forward to seeing if this ride will be the same way. Being an old man, I truly appreciate a smooth ride Again, this one was a complete shock to me, so kudos to Cedar Point for the genuine surprise. If they can get TT2 up and going next year and have a new coaster to go along with it, I guess I'll be renewing my season pass again after all! -
So Cedar Point announces another big coaster having not even gotten this years coaster to work for more than a few days and Valleyfair gets nothing, this may be the future as Six Flags -

Cedar Point has announced Siren’s Curse, a new record-breaking tilt coaster will open at the park in 2025! https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog/media-center/record-breaking-sirens-curse-tilt-coaster-to-lure-cedar-point-thrill-seekers-in-2025 Cedar Point, The Roller Coaster Capital of the World®, will add fathoms of thrills to its world-renowned and record-breaking collection of scream machines with the 2025 debut of Siren’s Curse – the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in North America. Siren’s Curse hearkens to the legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie; often spoken of – but never spotted. The sirens of the lake who lured sailors to their underwater demise with their sweet, seductive songs will finally rise to land and attempt to entrap guests in a sinister two-minute fate of non-stop roller coaster innovation. Riders will hear the echo of the siren’s chilling melodies as they ascend an old 160-foot-tall Lake Erie shipping crane tower, the sounds growing more sinister as riders reach the top. Their fate will hang in the balance as they encounter the roller coaster’s signature moment: a dead stop on a “broken off” section of track. The creaking platform holding the train of riders will slowly tilt the entire train into a 90-degree vertical position, forcing riders to peer straight down with the hope their train will connect to the twisted track below. As the track locks into place, riders will flee from the beckoning call of the siren and plunge into the abyss, speeding through 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58 mph. The ride will feature 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed “triple-down” element with twisted and overbanked track. Adding to the immersive experience, the two, 24-passenger trains on Siren’s Curse will feature integrated audio and signature LED lighting on each car. Located across from the Iron Dragon suspended coaster and near the Cedar Point Marina, the ride’s tangled and compact layout will provide the high-thrill experience Cedar Point guests have come to know from America’s Roller Coast®. Guests must be 48” tall to ride Siren’s Curse. “Record-breaking thrills have always been at the heart of Cedar Point’s roller coaster lineup, and Siren’s Curse lives up to that standard,” said Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “The entire ride is an experience filled with non-stop action, but that first precarious tilted position where you’re hanging on – looking straight down – and waiting for the track to connect will be a signature moment our fans will love. It’s a first-of-its kind for Cedar Point and we’re thrilled to bring it to our guests.” With the addition of Siren’s Curse, Cedar Point will be home to an impressive lineup of 19 roller coasters, including fan favorites like Millennium Force®, Steel Vengeance®, Maverick® and more. As previously announced, the record-breaking triple-launch strata coaster Top Thrill 2® is scheduled to reopen in 2025. Guests can dive into season-long access to Siren’s Curse and the park’s 67 additional attractions with a 2025 Gold Pass. It includes Cedar Point and HalloWeekends® admission in 2024 and all of 2025, free parking, Cedar Point Shores® Waterpark admission, in-park discounts, bring-a-friend tickets and more. Right now, the 2025 Gold Pass is on sale for $125 or 10 payments of $10 after initial payment of $25. Guests can purchase online now at cedarpoint.com. Siren’s Curse is scheduled to open in early summer of 2025. For more information on Siren’s Curse, construction updates and more, follow Cedar Point on Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube or visit cedarpoint.com. https://www.cedarpoint.com/new-in-2025 Siren's Curse The tallest, longest, fastest tilt coaster in North America The legend and lore of mysterious creatures living beneath the surface of Lake Erie comes to life with Siren's Curse, North America’s TALLEST, LONGEST & FASTEST tilt coaster. Often spoken of – but never spotted, the sirens of the lake who lured sailors to their underwater demise with their sweet, seductive songs will finally rise to the land above Cedar Point and attempt to entrap you in a sinister two-minute fate of non-stop roller coaster innovation. Located across from Iron Dragon and near the Cedar Point Marina, Siren's Curse is set to lure its riders in 2025. Will you answer the siren's call? HEIGHT - 160 FT SPEED - 58 MPH DURATION - 2 MIN The Siren's Call You’ll hear the echo of the siren's chilling melodies as you ascend an old 160-foot-tall Lake Erie shipping crane tower, the sounds growing more sinister as you reach the top. Your fate will hang in the balance as you encounter the roller coaster’s signature moment: a dead stop on a “broken off” section of track. The creaking platform holding your train will slowly tilt into a 90-degree vertical position, forcing you to peer straight down with the hope your train will connect to the twisted track below. Evade Her Grip As the track locks into place, you’ll flee from the beckoning call of the siren and plunge into the abyss, speeding through 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58 mph. Come face-to-face with 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed “triple-down” element with twisted and overbanked track. Guest must be 48” tall to ride Siren's Curse. Lore Brought to Life The legend is real – and you’ll hear and see it! The ride’s trains feature an over-the-shoulder lap bar with flexible vest restraint. The vehicles also feature two firsts for Cedar Point: on-board audio, allowing the sound of the siren to envelop you as you escape her grasp; and high-tech LED lighting on the exterior of each car, mimicking the silky motion and eerie nature of the mythical creature, from the top of the tower to the adrenaline-pumping journey below. -
^ or they stick with Zamperla on the next ride. I wouldn't be surprised if a future ride is some kind of Zamperla water ride that was already part of the deal when Zamperla won the contract to do the TT2 make over or Zamperla offered something cheap after the year closure as compensation. A water battle boat ride or the big wavez drop tower would be a decent replacement for the removed water ride. -

We arrived in Rome at roughly 12:30 AM and immediately took the shuttle to the airport hotel to get some sleep. Just a few hours later, we returned to the airport to catch the shuttle to Civitavecchia for our cruise. The Disney Dream is the cruise ship on which I've sailed the most times, not just with Disney but with any cruise line. Getting greeted onboard by Captain Mickey is always the best way to start off a cruise! The design of the atrium will always be one of my favorite elements of this ship! Feels like home to me. First lunch of the cruise at Cabanas means all you can enjoy snow crab! Adults have an opportunity to explore the youth activity spaces onboard during Open House periods and there are many fun places to visit! The Disney Infinity space in Oceaneer's Lab is neat. The online elements of the game has been out of service for a few years but the offline gameplay and the figures are still fun to enjoy. If you bring home a Oceaneer's Band from the cruise (the MagicBands given to kids onboard for Oceaneer's Club and Oceaneer's Lab access) and place it on the RFID scanner for Disney Infinity, you can receive an exclusive digital DCL ship toy in the game. Now that's what I call podracing! One of my favorite spaces found on the way to Vibe, the teen club onboard, is a nod to the lighted hallways of EPCOT Center's past... Journey into Imagination's ImageWorks and Horizons are echoed here. Vibe really is a neat plae for the teens to hang out. And they have their own sun deck with loungers and jacuzzis! Our stateroom for the next 11 nights! The Sailing Away deck party is always a fun way to kick off a cruise! Roaming the ship you can find hidden Disney details that span over a century's worth of film and TV. Each time I sail I find something new, like this! Disney Victrophonics was a new experience to us, performing in the atrium on multiple evenings throughout the cruise. It isn't uncommon to see Disney friends roaming the ship. Disney Cruise Line offers beverage tastings of various types depending on the length of the cruise. My first of this cruise was the "World of Old Fashioned" tasting. For $100 per person, we were treated to four Old Fashioneds, handmade and curated by an informed bartender who talked us through all of the drinks and their base alcohols. The experience also included two chocolate truffles. Coming back to our stateroom at the end of our first night onboard, we were greeted by tthis cute towel animal. We woke up the next morning to a view of Greece outside of our verandah. We would be pulling into Chania later in the afternoon so we had time onboard for some early-day activities. Are you even sailing with DCL if you're not eating Mickey Waffles for breakfast? Yes, it is the morning and we're having champagne... Another new-to-us experience was the Champgagne Tasting. We were toured through five different champagnes (plus one macaron) by an expert somelier who informed us of the differences in style, preparation and history between each bubbly we tasted. We easily got our $60 per person out of this experience and I can't recommend it enough if you enjoy champagne. Once docked in Chania, Greece we boarded a motorcoach for our Port Adventure, starting with a stop at the ruins of ancient Aptera. The site is continually being excavated. Most notably, this theater in one of the more well-recovered elements of the site. Next we visited Kournas Lake for a quick dip... Our final stop of the excursion was a family-style lunch in the really wonderful setting of the mountain-side village of Argyroupolis. Fresh tzatziki, traditional Greek salad, empanada-like apps and my favorite, rice-stuffed fried squash blossoms were an amazing start to our Crete-style meal. Spit-roasted chicken and fresh fries rounded out the meal. There's nothing quite like walking back to a ship on which you love to be sailing. Spa water upon arrival? Don't mind if I do! Really? Mine too! The Golden Mickeys was our first of three broadway-style shows in the Walt Disney Theater. Crush joined us for our first night in Animator's Palate. One does not simply dine at Animator's Palate without consuming quantities of pasta pursettes. Our stateroom door would progressively become more decorated as the cruise went on. On this night I experienced the Premium Reserve Whiskey Tasting and I was very pleased! And a new towel animal welcomed us to bed! -

I think the industry is trending more towards "what the f*** is going to happen in the next 6 to 18 months? We better stop spending money now and do everything we can to cut costs just incase because it aint looking good", and sprucing up a previously existing family area is just a convenient low cost maintenance project that they can market as a new addition. Also I loved Jungala so any signs of life back in that area of the park are welcome. -
Those are just the 2025 announcements for the 2024 additions that never opened. -
TT2 is reverting back to TTD. They realized they hired the wrong company and Intamin won't play their games any longer.
