Siren’s Curse, which opened to riders on June 28, “experienced a delay that paused the ride’s operation,” according to Cedar Point spokesperson Tony Clark.

Guests were escorted off the ride because it would not restart.

People who were at the park reported riders being stuck for close to 40 minutes.

Some riders reported the time from was closer to 20 minutes.

Clark said the guests exited the ride safely.
