RIP to that absolutely incredible launch!!

 

Even though Red Forces launch couldnt knock the skin off a rice pudding (meaning weak), I would personally still rather see that launch implemented to Dragster as opposed to ripping out a coaster that is visually iconic not only for Cedar Point but the coaster community as a whole.

 

This could also be good for the rides reliability as its a monsterous understatement to say Dragsters hydraulic launch is far from reliable.

Rumours are confirmed to be a LSM launch with a 420ft spike being added. The ride will launch forward, roll back and launched up the spike before being launched forward again up and over the top hat. The ride will have new trains, worryingly only 3 trains of 20 riders. I sure hope the trains aren't like icebreakers at SeaWorld as they were some of the most uncomfortable trains ive ever been on.

The park have finally announced Top Thrill 2 themselves! I think many of us can agree it’s a crap name, but moving on from that, it looks pretty exciting! Just relieved to see the coaster that has been shut for the last 2 years coming back strong! Hopefully the spike makes up for (or acts as a good compromise for) the reduced launch power?

I did caveat that with "may".

 

I'm pretty sure this ride has been rushed in to distract from TT2 and if anything I think it indicates even 2025 may be missed. Siren was originally meant to be coming to six flags Mexico, which itself was originally meant to open as cliffhanger in energylandia.

Seems to be a common misconception going round that Siren's Curse is the SF Mexico / Energylandia coaster. It's not, but it is the same stock layout (the Cliffhanger model). 

 

Vekoma have a near 2 year manufacturer time, so it's not a quick decision made as a TT2 distraction. The decision would have been made prior the the issues.

I'm surprised that Vekoma don't want to work with Cedar Fair after 2025 to be honest, you'd think their wanted growth in America would stop them building a ride at Cedar Point. 

 

Bit of an odd choice considering Valravn is right there (even if that ride is pretty bland) an is a real crowd pleaser.

Nothing official, just lots of rumours to do with the wheels not being able to take the strain of the speed and launches. Lots of conversations around hairline fractures in the wheel assemblies.

 

ThunderVolt (which is the other Intamin to Zamperla conversion) is open and running with none of TT2's issues. 

 

Sirens Curse feels like a knee jerk reaction to something more than a required investment. Cedar Point isn't lacking in the beyond vertical drop department or the thrill rollercoaster department. Beyond the hype of another tilt coaster being added, this is a pretty odd investment which I don't really get. But its there park, they can do what they want with it.

Reliability is so bad at this park. Three rides in 5 hours due to constant mechanical issues. This park is extremely overrated.

 

 

Yes it is. I actually like quite a few of the rides but it is a painful park to be in most of the time.
