Siren's Curse is a truly perfect ride. From the outside, it has stellar views of the tilt track, the ride's claim to fame, and gets you all intimidated, hair sweaty, eyes wide open, heart thumping like the world's about to end, everything in the universe telling you that any ride would be a better pick, and yet you know that you come to Cedar Point not for the food, not for the kiddies, not for the flat rides, but for the roller coasters, the heart-pounding, mind-boggling, jaw- dropping ones, the ones that make country-wide news, the ones that make even the bravest coaster enthusiasts tremble, and you know that this is what you came for, and this is what you're getting on, this is what you're waiting for. The two hour waits, the 90° weather, the intimidation, none of that matters. This is what you came for, this is what you're riding. Fast forward an inordinate amount of time, you're here, you see the train, the black and green trains, the ones that you waited ever so long to sit on, and now you're on it, traversing the incline, up to the top, now you're here, and... stop. Tilting. Tilting. Tilting. Now it's too late. Now you're ninety degrees tilted. You wait. Seeing the path below, people who are casually strolling by, going wherever they're going, doing whatever they're doing, but you're here, you're ninety degrees tilted, they're not, you're not them, they're not you, and before you know it, you hear a voice saying "Time to meet your doom!" and then you plunge downward, down, down, down, into a turn, rock music screaming at you, going through airtime hills, right around the bending, twirling, inverting, and yet ever-so-smooth red layout, under the queue, over the queue, all around the queue, and the rocks, and the water, and all of the other items you'll find in and around the ride. Now you're having fun. Now it's not scary. Now you're starting to enjoy yourself, all that inverting and curving and twisting, all that you just survived, pays off as you zoom across the red track, rock music still playing like crazy, and now it's over. You did it. You survived. All of the tilting, twisting, terror, now it's over. You hit the brakes, you're almost back at the station, the place where it all began, where the train took off, where your journey began, and now it's over. After some time, you pull back into the station. Feeling like you have accomplished something, you get out of your seat, head towards the exit, grab your items from the free locker you rented before all that, and head to the gift shop. You feel compelled to buy something, maybe a shirt, or a sweater, or heck, even a shot glass. You walk out with your purchases, deciding where to go next, perhaps to ride Iron Dragon, or maybe Millennium Force, or maybe grab a snack, as you think about what you just witnessed. A one-of-a-kind experience, for sure, and one heck of an experience it was.

After the re-track, I decided it was the 5th best roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland, behind AlpenFury and the Big 3 B&Ms! The first drop and airtime hills provide float-jector airtime in the back row, and the ride overall is super fun, especially at night! That second half, however, is super rough and full of potholes. The restraints don’t help either; those PTC ratcheting lap-bars can sometimes restrict your airtime. And for capacity, despite having 30 riders per train and 2 trains in total, it takes them AGES to dispatch each train nearly everytime.

With this being the prototype B&M Giga, its layout is too short for its sheer height and speed. Aside from that, the airtime, pacing, and first drop are unreal!

I usually smile throughout rides on coasters, but there was so much joy I couldn't keep from laughing out loud! I've ridden it about ten times and it is my favorite of the 100+ coasters I've ridden around the world.

Actually much better than expected. It reminds me of Rioolrat at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn, but larger, more creative and with a horror theme. Allthough I dont get why they came up with this theme for the only family coaster (well except the fish) in the park

Maybe if they wouldn't dispatch the train too quickly, it might not get stuck at the top of the lift hill every time. We've waited 110 minutes (instead of the advertised 70) because it broke down twice after a fast dispatch. Otherwise a great coaster, but of course way too short and honestly a bit lacking. Night rides on this thing are amazing though.
