A viral video is drawing attention to Cedar Point's newest roller coaster after Siren's Curse became stuck mid-ride over the weekend, leaving passengers suspended until the attraction could be restarted.

Viral Video Shows Riders Stuck Mid-Ride

The incident captured on video wasn't an isolated event. Siren's Curse experienced two separate delays over the weekend, one on Saturday and another on Sunday, according to park officials.

The video, shared with Cleveland's Fox 8 by Stephanie Nigles, shows riders stranded on the coaster while facing straight down.

The ride's "check engine" light came on, so to speak.

Cedar Point Says Safety System Triggered Inspection

Park officials told the TV station that the coaster stopped mid-cycle because its internal safety system triggered an inspection.

“Its safety system performed as designed, keeping all guests safe,” Cedar Point said in a statement to FOX 8 News.

After inspections were completed, Cedar Point employees were able to restart the ride each time, allowing guests to finish their rides. No injuries were reported.

I’d be cured. Roller coasters are great, but if I were left hanging face-down after a malfunction like that, well, that would be enough roller coaster for me. Forever.
