Tony Clark Says Sirens Curse Injury Led to Transport

A sirens curse injury at Cedar Point sent a guest off Siren's Curse on Thursday, Aug. 13 after the rider had a medical emergency on the coaster. Medics assisted the guest off the ride, and Tony Clark said the guest was transported for further evaluation and treatment.

Clark, a Six Flags spokesman, said, “Safety is a cornerstone of our business,” and said the ride was functioning normally when the guest had the medical emergency. He also said, “Due to medical privacy laws, we’re unable to share any personal information.”

Clark said, “The guest was transported for further evaluation and treatment.” He added, “The ride functioned as designed and after routine safety checks were completed, it reopened to guests.”

Siren's Curse in 2025

Siren's Curse opened in 2025 and tilts the coaster train directly over the midway from a 160-foot lift hill before the train detaches and travels along 2,966 feet of track at a top speed of 58 mph. Riders experience 13 instances of weightless or so-called airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls, and a high-speed triple-down element during the ride.

Some guests at the park posted on social media that the rider appeared to have a shoulder injury. Workers have had to reverse the tilt on occasion and evacuate riders from the lift hill, a reminder that the ride can be stopped and reset before it returns to service. The guest’s medical emergency is the part Cedar Point has not described beyond transport for treatment.

Cedar Point Safety Checks

The ride’s reopening came after routine safety checks, which restored service after the incident and ended the brief disruption for guests waiting to ride. For anyone heading to Cedar Point, the practical point is simple: Siren's Curse was back in operation after the checks, while the guest’s condition was handled away from the coaster.
