Record-breaking Siren’s Curse tilt coaster to lure Cedar Point thrill seekers in 2025

JUnderhill:

From what I have seen the past week or 2 the ride itself is what will determine the opening date. Progress around the site has been moving along at a good pace and I am certain they could wrap that up quickly if the ride was ready. The lack of large scale train after train testing with CP ride ops present tells me we’re at least a few weeks out.

Well that definitely is disappointing to hear especially if you have a coastermania ticket. I might reshuffle my plans based on how TT2 holds up.

Not to hammer this over and over but when you say quickly if the ride was ready how quickly exactly? 2 days, 5? More? I’m just curious as I assumed putting a pond in was a big process.

Also yes awesome pictures. Definitely the best we have so far. Id love to try that tour

The pond is simply a landscaping element, the large piece of work that has been going on in this area is the concrete cistern they installed for the pumps that will remove water from the tunnel. This is visible in the first picture KevH posted on the right side. I do not know what the final site will look like so I can't guess as exactly what work remains. There is more walkway work to do, fencing, signs and of course landscaping. All that aside to me the larger issue in guessing when this ride will open involves the ride itself. To my knowledge, there has not been any large scale testing and I have not seen or heard of any reports where Cedar Point ride ops were being trained on the ride. The best information we have on the ride opening is from the park itself which still says early summer. I think the coastermania ship sailed, June 15th - maybe. I think the later you visit in June the better the odds are it will be operating.

I know you have been planning a trip for a long time now, wish I could give you better information to plan out your trip but I do not have any insider info to share here.

I think it is just the new normal. 2024 coaster opens in 2025. 2025 coaster opens in 2026. Delay tactic to pump and dump sales. Stretch out the excitement over two years per ride. Maximize profits. At least we’re finally getting the promised lagoon maintenance project, although a year and a half late ;). Tony never mentioned that it would be an all new lagoon ;). Delay tactic for the lagoon fanatics out there who purchased a 2024 pass and now just get to see lagoon glory in 2025.

If they had marketed it as Lagoonmania people would be ecstatic!

If the lagoons were open for rafting with swim up bars Lagoonmania would be a hit . Just watch out for Plague’s tall boys attached to that buoy.

Why didn't they just call it "Full Tilt?"

JUnderhill:

The area next to the road looks like it will just be the ground sloped down into the water with the liner covered by the river rocks. It should be the same as what you can see where they have the liner covered.

Likely similar to the way the lagoon is up against the Power Tower midway with the fence and rocks. After all that much ballyhooed lagoon maintenance project has helped them perfect that, even disguising the project as "new ride construction".

The theming touches on Sirens Curse are nice. And speaking of theming, the landscaping crew has done another stellar job in the flower beds below SkyRide (which was open today). There are flowers spelling out "Sirens Curse" in one bed.

Another theming I saw today was on Frontier Trail where at the Pony Ride place and near where Professor Delbert is located they have place a few fiberglass horse shaped benches.

Perhaps they are hollow underneath for tall boy stashing.
