North America’s tallest, fastest, and longest tilt coaster, Siren’s Curse delivers an adrenaline-fueled 90-degree dropping mechanism to Cedar Point’s legendary coaster lineup. In partnership with RSL, SHP provided comprehensive MEP engineering for the ride and site infrastructure, highlighted by new power distribution panels to feed the ride, site signage, and thematic area lighting. Our team also designed the pneumatic system and air compressor selection, engineered critical control, data, and sound wiring pathways, and delivered electrical and HVAC design for the ride control building.

"Delivering the specialized systems for a unique tilt coaster was an incredible experience, and we're proud to support Cedar Point's newest thrill."

– Tom Poff, Associate Principal, SHP
