What riders love
  • You hang there facing straight down for a long enough time to process just how high up you are, when it releases you.
  • Towards the back of the train, the drop initially feels more like a drop tower than a roller coaster.
  • I was shocked at how the tilted drop jerks you back into your seat giving a launch sensation.
  • One of the smoothest rides ever done, the changes of direction are not violent and feels like you're floating in the air.
  • Whole coaster is smooth from start to finish.
  • I also thought this coaster was super smooth like this is the smoothest coaster I have ridden so far!
  • On the first dip you violently have a left wave turn that slams you out of your seat giving great ejector.
  • Looks slow and whatever but has a wild punch with crazy airtime on almost every hill even in the inversions (mostly the 2nd one).
  • Those last hills have surprisingly powerful airtime and it's a great way to finish the coaster!

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Cedar Point

Nick: The twisting triple down is fun but I think the best moment of airtime is the twisting airtime hill before the second inversion.

Coaster101

There’s ejector airtime on pretty much most elements and solidly strong G’s in most of the valleys, the inversions are great too.

Carter Eckhart

Great airtime, snappy inversions, just a really good ride!

Anthony Ray

I can see why the Chinese knock-off versions are called “broken rail coasters.”  The front seemed to have more airtime.

Nick

Then you go into a heart line roll that is super floaty and a triple down as I call it which gets you some light ejector.

Lightning Productions

One of the smoothest rides ever done, the changes of direction are not violent and feels like you’re floating in the air.

Alessandra

Even after you drop and realize you are still alive, the rest of the layout is probably the most smooth and flowy layout I have ever ridden.

Finn V.

So give me the rapid fire pacing, re-rideability, airtime, and smoothness of Siren’s Curse.

Coaster101

The tilt is genuinely amazing and it is SO SMOOTH!

Anthony Ray

Siren’s Curse has smooth elements that look just as perfect as they ride.

Behind the Thrills

Overall it’s a broadly appealing coaster that blends unique thrills with a smooth and comfortable ride but the model still has room for improvement.

Bryan Bonafede

The airtime is top tier, the ride is silky smooth, the trains are extremely comfortable, and the pacing is absolutely insane.

Brendan B.

All the elements are profiled in such a way that the ride is intense but never on the border of painful like for instance happens on Steel Vegeance.

Micha Tirion

The positive Gs felt stronger, especially on the first drop.

Coaster101

the pacing is amazing, its got forces, its really smooth, the airtime was great so was the theming and the onboard audio just added to the experience.

Bryce

I expected it to be a slightly better drop than a B&M dive coaster, but this felt like a really intense mini drop tower.

Max S.

It’s scary, but not too intense, so almost everyone will be able to enjoy it.

Lincoln Payne

The smoothness, whippy fast paced layout, and of course the iconic gimmick creates an iconic staple in Cedar Point’s already elite lineup.

Liam Dodds

It starts off with a crazy fast lift hill into a slight left turn that gets you on the tilt track.

Caiden Brauchler

The tilt track is insane in the front and the back, and the rest of the layout absolutely flies.

Em McMahon

Fast, smooth, gentle inversions but other really whippy elements with some good airtimes.

Simon C.

The ride apparently goes only 58 miles per hour but feels a lot faster.

Rubber Ducker

It’s fast and the airtime is great.

Shadow Fire

buuuuuut with some luck (and getting to the park early), i managed to not wait a million years for this ride and was honestly really pleasantly surprised.

ducky

Waited 1.5 hours around 11am on Saturday and got in like at 10:30pm and waited an hour.  The line keep moving only to be delayed by people who had metal on them and had to be wanded after the...

robintodd

I wish it was just a bit longer and the line wasn’t as long (though it may go down in the future once the hype settles some more)

Ezra Mortimer
Height fear

The tilt is also terrifying (again in a good way).

Henry H.

A frightening first drop, strong airtime, and constant pacing.

Birb from not Canada
Worth the queue

Worth every minute of waiting.

A bit short but worth the wait.

This coaster is a great surprise, I didn’t know I would get as much airtime as I did, and the tilt is weird in a good way.

Xander Neagoe, Captain Coaster review

I LOVE the on ride audio it adds SO much to the experience, it would not be the same ride without it!

Anthony Ray, Captain Coaster review

The tilt is mid in this row, as you just rotate and don’t tilt up or down, but the drop is great and so is the hang in every row I rode in.

Niko Banfield, Captain Coaster review

Larry - Everything from the hill before the second inversion, the outside banked airtime hill and the banked bunny hops leading into the brake run are some of the best airtime moments this coaster has.

Coaster101, published review

This crazy attraction gives you a rare taste of tilt track and a side of awesome inversions, all inside of a very comfortable restraint.

Henry Marth, Captain Coaster review

Nick: After riding Siren’s Curse seven times in four hours during the [charity event benefiting Prayers From Maria](https://www.prayersfrommaria.org/) and one time on opening day, I can firmly say that I love this ride.
