Sky-High Thrills at Cedar Point: Summer Fun Guide

Siren's Curse

Last summer, Siren’s Curse debuted at Cedar Point as North America’s tallest, fastest and longest tilt coaster. We tried it during its first season, which also made headlines for several stoppages that required riders to evacuate mid-course.

The attraction reaches speeds of up to 58 mph and lifts passengers 160 feet into the air before tilting into its dramatic drop, featuring two 360-degree zero-gravity barrel rolls among 13 weightless moments throughout the experience.

Top Thrill 2

This attraction revives one of Cedar Point’s most iconic and hyped coasters. Originally debuting as Top Thrill Dragster in 2003, the ride shattered records at 420 feet tall and 120 mph, becoming the world’s tallest and fastest roller coaster at the time.

After 19 seasons and a serious accident led to its closure and redesign, the reimagined Top Thrill 2 is expected to run in 2026. It was expected to reclaim the world’s tallest complete-circuit roller coaster title after Kingda Ka closed in late 2024, but as of early 2026, Falcon’s Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya City holds that record.

Steel Vengeance

Steel Vengeance wasn't always known by that name. From 1991-2016, it was called Mean Streak. After a facelift, it returned as an entirely new beast: Steel Vengeance, which opened as a "hyper-hybrid," marking the transition from a wooden coaster to one with a steel base.

When Steel Vengeance debuted in 2018, it set world records for tallest hybrid coaster (205 feet) and fastest hybrid coaster (74 mph).

Valravn

When Valravn opened in 2016, it rewrote the record books for dive coasters and became the first of its kind for Cedar Fair. Standing 223 feet tall and reaching speeds of 75 mph across 3,415 feet of track, it debuted as the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster in the world.

With three rows of seats that leave riders dangling over a 214-foot drop, the front row offers the most dramatic pause before the plunge.

Millennium Force 

This ride reshaped the roller coaster world and helped launch an entirely new category: the Giga Coaster.

The steel giant climbs 310 feet before plunging 300 feet on its signature drop, once setting records for height, speed and full-circuit design with a top speed of 93 mph. It also introduced the steepest non-inversion banked turn at 122 degrees. It remains one of the most decorated steel coasters in the industry, frequently ranking among the Golden Ticket Awards’ best.
