I feel sick just watching the video. One accident will cause everyone on that ride to die and bankrupt the manufacturer and amusepark park owner/operator. Life is already like a roller coaster without being on one!

You're more likely to meet your demise stepping into your car than riding a roller coaster. Not something i would worry about.

At first, I was intrigued, but it's a Verkoma which means it will be jerky AF and you'll come out banged up and sore, LOL. B&Ms are worth the cost, IMHO.

I had pretty blind trust in rides until the KC waterpark incident. Definitely a no thank you from me.

OMG, I was trying to stay away from information about this coaster, but when it popped up here I couldn't resist. My dear sister DS, a roller coaster fanatic, managed to rope me into a trip this coming July specifically to ride this. Initially it was going to be her and my daughter DD, also a roller coaster fanatic, and I was going along to stand out with sister's husband and hold their purses while they rode. Then DD had to drop out, and now my husband DH is coming too, but he's smart enough to say he's not riding. I just told DS that I'll stand in line with her, but I reserve the right to chicken out at the loading dock. Maybe I'll get lucky, and it won't be open yet....

Update here!

I was at Cedar Point a little over a week ago and found out that my aging body won’t let me ride extreme coasters anymore. But Dear Sister rode Siren’s Curse, after being excited about it for months, and decided it’s far from her favorite. She feels that it wastes too much time at the beginning. It climbs the lift hill, pauses, slides out horizontally, pauses, tilts close to vertical, pauses, then finally releases. DS says it takes a minute for all that, leaving only another minute for the actual ride, which is good but too short.

I’m glad I didn’t even try to ride it!

Sounds like most reviews of these gimmick coasters. the gimmick makes it slow and jerky and then the rest of the ride is short to compensate. I rode one of those giant hill coasters and the longest part, besides the line, was the loading and unloading. The ride went and was over and you had to sit in the baking sun for minutes while they got the next car ready.

NOPE - not even viewing the vid

Every one of these newer coasters are very disappointing. They're fast, yes, but they're so smooth that you might as well have been riding in an airport monorail.

For those making their way to Manhattan: you might do a trip to Coney Island, Brooklyn to try the Cyclone wooden rollercoaster. You'll be thrown back, forward, and from side to side, feeling every acceleration, every turn, every rise up, and every plunge down.

I was going to ask if you rode it and now see your recent post. But was it worth it for your DS to travel from Texas to Ohio to try it? And is there anything else to do in the Toledo/Sandusky, OH area?

Well, DS says yes, it was worth it because she still loves extreme coasters. At Cedar Point, Steel Vengeance and Valravyn are her favorites. But even she admitted that her body doesn’t tolerate them like it did and said this might have been her last visit there - unless my DD, also an adrenaline junkie, decides she has time for a trip there!

We were there only 2 full days, both spent at Cedar Point, so I didn’t investigate other activities. I did notice that we were relatively close to Ann Arbor, where DH and I have never been, and of course we flew into and out of Cleveland (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, birthplace of Superman), so if it had been only DH and I we might have taken some day trips!

BTW we stayed in an Airbnb or VRBO house in Sandusky that was very comfortable for the four of us.
