Siren's Curse is North America's tallest, fastest, and longest tilt coaster: the track breaks off, holds you fully vertical 160 feet up, then lets go. Its two 24-rider trains can't keep up with demand, so the line opens around 44 minutes, camps near 70 all afternoon, and rarely fades at night. Rope drop is the whole game here.
Typical midday wait: 60-70 min. Best time: first half hour (~44 min). Peak: noon-5 PM, 90-plus on Saturdays. Height requirement: 48". Weekdays run meaningfully lighter, so check the Cedar Point crowd calendar before you pick your date.

|---|---|---|
| 10 AM | 44 min | Best window of the day, and it's not short |
| 11 AM | 67 min | Settled in already |
| 12 PM | 70 min | The all-day plateau |
| 1 PM | 66 min | Saturdays hit 90 here |

| 9 PM | 62 min | Closing-hour crowd pushes it back up |
Averages from a full season of measured waits since the ride opened in 2025. Cedar Point closes anywhere from 6 to 10 PM by season, so read the evening rows relative to your night's closing time.
Siren's Curse under 40 minutes is rare and short-lived. Ride Ready watches Cedar Point waits all day and pings you the moment it happens, so you're at the tilt track while the rest of the park is still deciding.
Download Ride Ready, FreeYes. The first half hour averages about 44 minutes, and that's the floor for the entire day. It sits close to the front gate, so riding it first costs you almost nothing, then you commit to the long walk to Frontier Town while its line settles in near 70 for the rest of the day.
Usually not. The last hour before close averages 58 minutes versus 69 at midday, and a real evening dip only showed up on about 1 day in 4 across a season of measured waits. On Saturdays evenings actually stay long. Treat a short evening line as a bonus, never as the plan.
Capacity. It runs two trains with 24 riders each, so even a modest crowd stacks up fast. The good news: the hype tax is fading. Midday waits averaged around 93 minutes in its 2025 opening season and are running closer to 66 in 2026.
It's a Vekoma tilt coaster, North America's tallest, fastest, and longest. The train stops dead on a broken-off section of track that tilts to fully vertical, 160 feet up, then drops into 58 mph, two barrel rolls, a triple-down, and 13 airtime moments across 2,966 feet. Minimum height is 48 inches.
