Cedar Point is giving the media its first look at the park’s record-breaking new roller coaster Siren’s Curse on Thursday.

The towering, state-of-the-art thrill ride will become North America’s first tilt coaster when it officially opens on Saturday.

Siren’s Curse suspends riders 160 feet above the midway before tilting them 90 degrees forward and launching them into a series of high-speed, gravity-defying elements.

"I think our guests will be really surprised after the tilt. The ride is just as exciting. Lots of air time. There's a lot of different movements in the ride. It's really a fun ride. Action-packed, doesn't stop until you get back to the station," said park manager Colleen Murphy-Brady.

The steel coaster reaches a top speed of 58 miles per hour and includes 13 airtime moments, two 360-degree barrel rolls and a triple-down drop element with overbanked turns and twisted track design.

Siren’s Curse opens to all guests June 28.
