Siren's Curse roller coaster at Cedar Point is ready to launch
Cedar Point's newest thrill machine is ready to launch. The amusement park announced Wednesday that its Siren's Curse roller coaster will open to the public on Saturday, June 28. Cedar Point says it plans to offer a special ticket to raise money for Prayers for Maria for a small number of riders to be the first to ride what is billed as the tallest, fastest and longest 'tilt' roller coaster in America. A ticket to be among the first riders are $125 each and are available at The charity raises money to help children diagnosed with brain tumors. The Siren's Curse is themed after mythical sirens who reside under the water in Lake Erie and use their voices in song to lure sailors. The sirens mournful calls will greet riders once the coaster opens as they ascend the 160-foot-tall lift hill. At the top, riders will encounter a broken track that trails off to nowhere. The tower's platform will then tilt 90 degrees straight down as the tilt piece of track connects to a twisted track below. After that the coaster train then plunges along 2,966 feet of twisting track at a top speed of 58 mph. Over the span of two minutes, 24 riders will experience 13 instances of weightless or so-called airtime moments along with two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls and a high-speed 'triple-down' element with twisted and overbanked track. The coaster trains will also have LED lighting and go through an underground tunnel − a first for Cedar Point. To ride the coaster when it opens, guests must be at least 48 inches tall. Guests will also have to pass through metal detectors before getting in line. The park is providing free short-term lockers for items like wallets, keys and cell phones that are restricted from the coaster.

Wayne Dawson talks about when he'll return to FOX 8
CLEVELAND (WJW) – Longtime FOX 8 News in the Morning anchor Wayne Dawson is sharing a powerful message of resilience. He was declared cancer-free just weeks ago, after undergoing extensive treatment for oral cancer. Bear spotted in Trumbull County backyard The veteran broadcaster was diagnosed with oral cancer in May 2024. After a grueling year of treatment and recovery, doctors declared him in remission on May 21. 'I'm in remission and that's a blessing,' Dawson said. 'There's no sign of cancer in my body.' While the news is uplifting, Dawson acknowledged the physical toll of treatment remains. 'Still feeling the effects of chemo and radiation,' he said. 'My taste is not 100%.' One of the most visible reminders of his battle is dental: 'They pulled my teeth out to get the cancer out,' Dawson explained. 'They have to put my teeth back in.' Doctors won't be able to do that until six months after radiation, which puts his dental reconstruction timeline in late August or early September. 'And I'll admit there are some days that I'm feeling pretty good and other days I wake up and I don't really like what I see in the mirror,' he said. Despite the challenges, Dawson is focused on healing and returning to the anchor desk. 'Then after that I'm going to work very hard to get back on the news at FOX 8 News in the Morning,' he said. He's also using his platform to speak directly to others facing cancer. 'I know what you're going through. I know what you've been through,' Dawson said. 'Don't give up, don't give in.' Ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. Coli His mantra throughout the journey has been to stay positive, a message he's extending to those still fighting. 'When you're going through this fight you have to stay positive,' he said. 'I had shirts that said 'Fight Like Wayne.' I want you to fight better than me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
