What roller coaster got stuck in Ohio?

Passengers on the roller coaster were forced to evacuate the Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, on Monday due to a mechanical issue, forcing guests to walk down lengthy stairs on the ride. Laina Cafego, who was on the ride, said her legs still hurt from walking down the coaster's stairs.



In mid-2025, the newest thrill at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio—Siren's Curse—made headlines when it experienced technical delays during its opening week. On June 28, 2025, the record-breaking "tilt coaster" became stuck in the vertical position for approximately 10 minutes while riders were suspended 160 feet in the air. The ride, which is North America's first tilt coaster, stopped during the sequence where the track "breaks off" and tilts 90 degrees to align with the drop. Maintenance teams were able to manually reset the tilting mechanism, and all riders were safely escorted off without injury. This followed a similar "hiccup" earlier that week, leading the park to briefly pause operations for system calibration. Despite these early teething issues, the coaster remains a flagship attraction for the 2026 season due to its unique 58 mph vertical drop.
