The Best Apology Video on YouTube

Subscribe for more theme park content.
Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the World, just announced a shocking new for 2025 roller coaster called Siren's Curse. It will likely be the first roller coaster of its kind in the US and was a big surprise for people only expecting Top Thrill 2 to be a new attraction. I like to view this addition as an apology video for Top Thrill 2, so let's talk about it.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

This was put together pretty quickly but I thought the title/idea was funny so I opted to make this. Don't take my theory parts too seriously, but I hope some of my thoughts were insightful. Subscribe for more theme park videos!

[@EliasWatsonCT]

“We are sorry for the inconveniences of Top Thrill 2. Please accept this Vekoma tilt coaster as our apology.”

[@highoctanegames]

LITERALLY TRUE

[@JulianDale94]

Only Cedar Point would try to revamp their accelerator coaster and then immediately try to build a tilt coaster

[@adriannn1180]

The track pieces are already built, as it was planned to come to Energylandia in Europe but it got cancelled, so not hard to build it here and it’ll prob save vekoma money by doing so

[@austinwilliams87]

This reminds me of when Mantis was converted to Rougarou and opening Valravn the year after.

[@m21645]

@@austinwilliams87definitely similar now that you say it😂 a lot of people say mantis really needed it tho, i unfortunately never even got to ride it

[@ThousanWhite]

My guess is that they DID have plans for that spot, but just not for 2025. However, in early July, after the merger went through and once they started to realize that TT2 wasn't going to re-open, they pivoted and took the original plans to bring this ride to Six Flags Mexico and moved up to CP for next year instead. This is probably the first major attraction introduction that was directly influenced by the Six Flags merger.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

That makes a lot of sense to me, it’s definitely possible.

[@leduckduck]

DO NOT SHORTEN CEDAR POINT

[@brandoncole5533]

If that's the case then that sucks. Why did Mexico have to miss out because they fucked up😭

[@Sango3670]

​@@brandoncole5533Mexico was already denied the permits so the ride had to go somewhere else.

[@BirdDuck]

Bro, when I saw this in the morning, i just went, "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

[@CoasterBroCam]

I nearly choked to death on the sandwich I was eating at school when i saw it

[@markbisson6166]

What was crazy for me is that I had a dream that night that cedar point announced a family B&M invert. When I woke up I was so confused 😂

[@saucepoint5296]

Making valravn to rougarou a mythical creature horror section of the park would be really cool cause it would have this valravn rougarou and iron dragon which all fit the theme

[@greg_216]

I agree. It feels like this was decided this summer. Bump the 2026 project to 2027 and slide this one into the lineup for 2025. Takes some of the heat off of Top Thrill 2.

[@jacobrotkowitz3978]

Good to see top thrill two running in the back of the sim for sirens curse

[@austintayloradt]

I thought it was an inversion too, but the off ride shots make it look more like a steeply banked drop

[@StevenVasconcellos]

Six Flags Mexico was the intension. However I would guess there has been some unexpected bumps in the road for permitting. Cedar Point has the space available, and well they are literally on an island, so I don't know how much permitting CP has to do. Maybe little to none. So they can have it ready for 2025.

[@bigblueamusementproductions]

I like this addition, but my one complaint is the colors. The colors look nice don't get me wrong, but red and black doesn't fit the theming. Imo ocean blue track with white or silver supports would be the best color scheme for this especially along the marina. Maybe a red/white color pattern on the tilt tower supports to actually make it look like a shipping crane that it's supposed to represent in the storyline.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I think the colors fit the story line, but I can understand them not fitting the lake atmosphere well. Maybe they could paint the lift hill like the crane and the rest like the water, but that would probably be risky.

[@Keyleey]

The ride got denied by the Mexican government, it seems mainly due to people complaining about how trees would need to be cut down in order to make space for it, but it seems the official excuse is that six flags Mexico did not obtain the correct permits (which seems fishy for a world-class amusement company). So they probably just brought it to CP as the space for it was already available without having to do any extra work. Also, can they change the name please. Save Siren's Curse for a damn proper water ride.

[@techpappee]

Cedar Point can use the capacity regardless of what others may need a coaster. It’s a good PR move as well after the TT2 delay. It’s more than just about which parks need a coaster.

[@Shriggins1]

Hearing the mention of steel curtain closing gave me whiplash. Earlier this year, I planned a trip out to Kennywood with my brother, and about 2 weeks after we planned our trip and picked out the date, the closure was announced. We still went and had a lovely time

Great video! I think about everyone will forgive Cedar Point now. I really enjoyed watching this!

[@RemixedVoice]

2 new coasters to ride in 2025 at Cedar Point. Vekoma has always been very nostalgic for me. As a fan, it's nice that their new coasters are world class again lol. I rode Gravity Max in 2013, and let me tell you, people love this coaster type. I love to see it back

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Awesome that you rode Gravity Max, I’ve always thought this looked like a great ride model.

[@matthewramirez4678]

Looks awesome but why is there so much freaking red at cedar point

[@AirplanesAndAirtime]

Lmao calling it an apology is hilarious

[@Kittyhat]

Honestly sad this didn't go to Six Flags Mexico, Cedar Point should have gotten the flying coaster that was supposed to go there a while ago

[@wereallyrollin6680]

It’s for the best Mexico didnt want to make a world record coaster in the parking lot it was the only way they could build it they didn’t want it to be just a random coaster they wanted to theme the area around and everything but it would have been to much if they went that direction I do think they should have gave it to knotts or another park with less major attractions

[@stronghold07ptx85]

Maybe they’re not sure if TT2 will open in 2025. Damage control by bringing sirens curse to CP?

[@adreamalways14]

And keep in mind Cedar Point do have more controls and share of Six Flags entertainment of Cedar fairs from behind

[@SwitchAnimationsGacha]

No the first one doesn’t count 😓 it’s just a normal turn

[@brutalhellhamerer]

They’re literally getting revamped Top Thrill Dragster, god forbid they have to wait, did they really need this? Did all of the CF parks need to be passed up so Cedar Point could get this?

[@jcspotter7322]

I see this as good news for the entire chain, it mean we will start seeing insane vekoma multi launch and maybe evwn hyper coasters in the next decade

[@ijv5567]

Because then in 2025 they have 2 new coasters (Top Thrill 2 and Sirens Curse) so if one of the two breaks down you still have reason to go to Cedar Point. If both break down they're screwed though. Hope Top Thrill 2 will run fine next year

[@chrisose]

It is not a matter of if this design fails, it is when does it fail and how many times will it be allowed to fail before it is shut down.

[@godzilla46367]

regardless if it was meant for cedar point or not i’m happy it’s happening this will be cedar points major ground up coaster since valraven

[@imabiggnoob]

Give valleyfair this cedar fair/six flags, valleyfair needs a new roller coaster with inversions and this is a perfect fit. Give it 4 inversions so it has the most in the states and give at a lot of ejector airtime as that’s something the park also desperately needs and you’re got a new best ride at the park. Plus, it’s probably way cheaper than a new b&m or intamin, so you got a new cheaper unique ride with a great ride experience. It would be a great way to end my home parks almost 20 year coaster drought

[@Studio732JRL-k7y]

Yeah, there's just one small problem that you kind of hit on there at the end. While Valleyfair is "your home park", the rest of the Country could care less about it. Not really the best way to spend 20 to 30 million dollars, as you've found out over the past 20 years.

[@imabiggnoob]

@@Studio732JRL-k7y a vecoma tilt coaster costs like 18 mil tops, most b&ms dont cost 30 mil. Plus valleyfair is a profitable park, their total ridership for all rides was 7 million last year and has an average of 8 million guests per year, and hasn’t gotten a coaster in 17 years, there is no reason not to give them a tilt coaster.

[@airbus7373]

If the theory about the Energylandia track being at SFM and now going to Cedar Point is true, then it would make sense that they could build this quickly, without any leaks or rumors going around beforehand. Still, this makes me even more excited for a CP trip soon.

[@Jackp499]

Having ridden Lech Coaster and Abyssus modern Vekomas feel very different than anything at CP this is definitely a good fit

[@ronscurti1269]

THEY NEED A PURPLE COASTER. ENOUGH WITH THE RED ALREADY

[@marlenagavel]

Sirens curse looks like a good ride. I hope it will make the iron dragon popular. They are both good rides.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Looks like an apology after losing Maverick's heartline roll and they have one to (sort of) compliments it.

[@EntitySevenParanormal]

I don’t think this ride had anything to do with top thrill too. Before top thrill to open, Tony said that there was a contract for a new attraction already signed for 2025. I don’t think anyone expected it to be a roller coaster. Especially of this type.

[@mitchellries256]

I'm more than confident that this ride will be ready long before Circuit Breaker at COTA Land.

[@troyazok3089]

On top of all of that, just think about this for a second… this coaster’s grand opening alongside a re-opening of Top Thrill 2 next year? This will catch some eyes, THAT’s for sure.

Not only does maverick have a higher hight requirement is also like freaking intense so this is probably a tad bit less intense

Answer the call sounds very ghostbusters 2016…

[@kevincaldwell9202]

The idea of paying (then waiting for a long period of time) to have massive amounts of adrenaline course thru your body is a young man/womans game. (maybe there should be an over/under age included with a height requirement) Including the fact that millions of small things need to work perfectly 100% of the time for extended periods of time makes this whole idea...odd. But then again, so are many people. BTW, I was a Carny Foreman in the late 70's on the Enterprize (a horizontal ferris wheel that lifted to vertical)

[@asiahill1212]

I’m excited for this new roller coaster 🎉

[@airtimeaddict]

Why is no one talking about how you could see TT2 operating in the background 😭😭😂😂

[@CowsiinCoasters]

i think they had permitting issues at mexico and couldn't get it ready for 2025 so they gave it to cedar point instead

[@wereallyrollin6680]

Yeah they didn’t want to put a coster like this in the parking lot it was the only way they could build it so they relocated the project

[@EllenJacob-Oliver]

It Looks Amazing But I Still Miss Top Thrill 2 And Top Thrill Dragster

[@jeffbb227eue]

I don’t care that they got the ride I just wish they went with a model like fonex or lech coaster. Just because having a dive and a tilt right beside each other seems repetitive

[@c-tha-man9463]

Great addition. People keep forgetting, CP removed a lot of attractions in the last 5 to 6 years vs what they've added. But people need to curb their enthusiasm that it'll open on Opening Day. That's not happening. lol. Reason they put, "Summer of 2025"

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I grew up going to Busch Gardens Tampa and that taught me to expect delays in opening. I’m definitely excited for this though.

[@darincampbell467]

Oh, well! It seems decent, I guess. It’s CP’s decision for their park. However, I wish that they would have taken my suggestion. I feel that they should have added an X2 to their park. That would have been phenomenal, and so many people would have wanted to ride it. This just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. CP needed to go really big, and X2 would have fitted the bill. Too bad, once again, that CP didn’t take my suggestion. Peace.

[@markbisson6166]

You don’t think this will be a top 5 coaster at CP? I think it’ll either be 4th or 5th best

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I think it might be, but I’m a big Gatekeeper fan so I can’t come to a conclusion until I ride this one. Including Top Thrill 2, I think the highest it could be for me is 4th.

[@christopherc2780]

if CP can pull this off and open two new coasters thats one hell of a year for an already stacked park. This was the coaster that was gonna go to Six Flags Mexico right? Surprised they moved it here but after this years bad press they probably wanted a sure thing with this new coaster just in case TT2 is bigger problem than thought. That actually might be the case cause would they double up if TT2 was looking ready to open up on opening day?

[@wereallyrollin6680]

Yes was going to Mexico but they couldn’t find the spot in the park and didn’t want to make a world record ride a parking lot coaster so they decided to go with cedar point to gain excitement to the park other than top thrill as it has left a bad taste in their mouth and honestly could have gone to knotts or some other park that hasn’t had a lot of thrilling attractions but it is what it is

[@danielmkubacki]

It looks so cool!

[@robertcherman]

This is not an apology rollercoaster. Come on guys! You have to be better than this. Almost everyone is saying that. This is part of the plan. Go back the Cedar Point's 150 anniversary and listen to the plan. A place like this is not going to just put something together last minute. I think they are on their way to retake the thrown of having the most coasters. Cedar Point loves to break records. Don't be surprised if they don't make a coaster every year or every other year until they get that record.

[@brandoncole5533]

This feels VERY much last minute. The lack of theming, the color scheme, the lack of promos, and the location all seems extremely sloppy and thrown together quicker than other coasters promos. They didn't even bother making sure their logo wasn't clipping through itself. Look at all the other promos and then look at this. Also in the extremely likely (almost guaranteed) instance that this is the SF Mexico coaster, then this started to get planned after the merger was finalized which wasn't even that long ago. This also could mean that this was ripped from SF Mexico to cover up TT2. Which Is pretty bad.

[@robertcherman]

@@brandoncole5533 I would agree with you, but I do know from watching stuff just before the 150th anniversary, that Cedar Point had a ten year plan of stuff coming to Cedar Point, and that was only 3 years ago. So, I would assume they are sticking to that 10 year plan they talked about 3 years ago. And when Six Flags and Cedar Point merged, they said they were not going to change anything at Cedar Point. Which also makes me believe this has been part of their plan. I found nothing wrong with their teaser and their announcement. The announcement video still seems like a teaser, it felt like it was missing something. Probably on purpose. Did you even notice the coaster layout in the girls hair on the first teaser video? I did. I thought they were putting in a coaster even before the teaser. Because I remember their plan. And during the 150th anniversary plan video Cedar Point made, I believe the guy talked about the Sirens concept, without giving too much detail. Just brought up the lore. This was planned a long time ago. And, if you think a major amusement park is just going to do something without a plan, that is just ludacris. This stuff takes years to plan.

[@Valibativecreo]

Take the record down on their own park? Magic Mountain is their park.

[@robertcherman]

@@Valibativecreo The merjer was more Cedar Fair than Six Flags. The CEOs and all the head guys are still from Cedar Fair. The big thing Six Flags got out of the deal was the name. So, yes. I do believe, they are on the way of making it have the most coasters. This was a merjer, not a buy off. Cedar Point is an old park. The merjer also said, they were not changing Cedar Points plan. So, if that was Cedar Point's plan before the merjer it is still the plan now.

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

[@zeeferer3035]

I don’t think this is an apology…. And has nothing to do with TT2, but funny thought lol

[@EveryoneIsFamily]

Isn't Top Thrill 2 itself Siren's Curse? The payback for the park hooked on bragging? 1978 - Gemini - World's tallest coaster.* (Not the world's tallest coaster at the time / Loch Ness Monster.) 1989 - Magnum XL200 - World's first hypercoaster.* (Not the first hypercoaster / Moonsault Scramble.) 2000 - Millennium Force - World's tallest coaster.* (Shuttle coasters don't count. Until 2 years later when Cedar Point gets one. Then they do.) (2002 - Shhh: A 200' VertiGo tower falls down in the off-season.) 2003 - Top Thrill Dragster - 120 mph (Didn't go 120 mph according to operator ElToroRyan.) 2024 - Top Thrill 2 - More Reliability (More than zero that is. Open for about a week.) 2025 - Siren's Curse - Karma catching up with the park that can't stop shouting about how great it is. Seriously, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Did anyone else notice the industrial steel pollution theming of coaster named "Iron Menace"?

[@michaelbianco32]

If Top Thrill 2's problems continue into next year, it's really good for the park's image to have this "apology"/distraction to have this new-to-America, high quality, legitimately great coaster to focus their attention on while TT2 either does or doesn't work out.
