Excitement is building as Ohio’s two biggest amusement parks prepare to unveil their latest attractions—bringing fresh thrills to visitors eager for high-speed adventure. Cedar Point and Kings Island are both rolling out new rides that promise an unforgettable experience, with adrenaline-pumping moments designed to keep guests on the edge of their seats.

Cedar Point, known for pushing the limits of coaster innovation, is preparing to debut Siren’s Curse, a ride poised to become North America’s tallest, fastest, and longest tilt roller coaster. Opening June 28, this high-intensity attraction plunges riders into a journey inspired by the mythical sirens of Lake Erie.

The ride transports guests up a towering 160-foot crane structure, where eerie siren songs grow more ominous as the ascent reaches its peak. At the top, riders are suddenly halted—dangling on the brink of a sheer vertical drop. With a dramatic tilt forward, the coaster plunges into a chaotic race along 2,966 feet of track, delivering an intense experience filled with weightless moments, barrel rolls, and twisting high-speed descents.

For those looking to experience Siren’s Curse before the official grand opening, Cedar Point is offering exclusive early access on June 26 through a charitable initiative supporting childhood cancer research.

Over at Kings Island, thrill-seekers will be treated to a brand-new aquatic adventure inside the Soak City Water Park. RiverRacers, Ohio’s first dual-racing water coaster, is designed for competitive fun—launching two sets of riders into a twisting, high-speed course packed with water jets, illuminated tunnels, and a final steep drop.

Riders will experience heart-pounding action as they accelerate to speeds of up to 30 mph, navigating sharp turns and banking slingshots before reaching the splash-filled finish line. The attraction aims to offer an exhilarating race through water, combining the thrill of a coaster with the refreshing fun of a waterslide.

For younger guests and families, Kings Island is also expanding its offerings with Splash River Junction, a new play area within Soak City. This space includes Bluegill Lagoon, a shallow wading pool perfect for little swimmers, and Salamander Sliders—a collection of seven beginner-friendly water slides featuring gentle twists and slopes.

Designed as a relaxing retreat, the area is equipped with lounge seating, umbrellas, and shaded spots, creating an inviting environment for families to unwind and enjoy the water at a comfortable pace.

With Cedar Point and Kings Island unveiling these thrilling new additions, Ohio’s theme park scene is gearing up for one of its most exciting summers yet. Whether visitors are chasing the adrenaline rush of Siren’s Curse, racing down RiverRacers, or relaxing in Splash River Junction, there’s no shortage of new attractions waiting to be explored.
