“Because our crews work so efficiently, we’re able to move forward with a little more testing than expected,” Siren’s Curse construction manager Dave Evans said in a video released by the park.

The Sandusky amusement park calls its new coaster the fastest, longest, and tallest tilt rollercoaster in North America.

The rollercoaster is 160 feet tall, reaches 58 mph, and features a 90-degree angle first drop, according to the amusement park.

“I think it’s safe to say we’re getting very close to my first ride, and I am so pumped,” Evans said in the video.

Siren’s Curse is expected to open in early summer 2025, but hasn’t announced a specific date.
