Big picture view:
Measuring 160 feet tall and reaching speeds of 58 mph, Siren's Curse will be the largest tilt coaster on the continent, according to the park.
The ride starts with a slow creep upwards before reaching a dead stop on a section of track that appears broken off. The platform will then rotate on a swivel, creaking downwards until riders are faced with a 90-degree drop.
Below is a series of corkscrews, twists, and barrel rolls lasting approximately two minutes.
Local perspective:
Riders are required to be at least 48 inches tall and be prepared for a shoulder harness that will secure between the rider's legs.
There is also a strobe lighting effect.
Siren's Curse also incorporates an audio element, "allowing the sound of the siren to envelop you as you escape her grasp," according to Cedar Point.
It officially opens on June 28.
