Cedar Point removing another bygone attraction from lakefront park

As work continues at Cedar Point to ready a new roller coaster in time for the 2025 season, a bygone attraction is being dismantled and removed from the park.

Park spokesman Tony Clark confirms that the large family climbing attraction that was the centerpiece of the Forbidden Frontier on Adventure Island is being removed.

The themed area of the park has been closed since the end of the 2022 season after just a four-year run.

Cedar Point has used the isolated wooded area in the heart of the lakefront park for a Halloween haunt in recent years.

Clark declined to say whether the structure is being moved to another Six Flags park.

The move follows the closure of the nearby Snake River Falls water ride and Professor Delbert’s Frontier Fling last season.

“Future plans for that structure, along with any development on the island, will be released at a later date,” Clark said.

For now this off season, Cedar Point is focusing its energy on the construction of a new roller coaster and working out the kinks to get another one up and running.

Construction continues on Siren’s Curse

Clark said construction continues on Siren’s Curse billed as the tallest, fastest and longest “tilt” roller coaster in America.

The roller coaster – designed by Netherlands firm Vekoma – takes thrill seekers up a 160-foot-tall lift hill where from the ground it appears they encounter a broken track that trails off to nowhere.

Clark said the next big milestone will be the addition of the tilt track onto the tower.

The exact timing of that is not set just yet, but the goal is to have the coaster ready for riders in time for this season.

Top Thrill 2 work still in progress

And work continues to get the Top Thrill 2 roller coaster back up and running.

The much-anticipated revamp of the Top Thrill Dragster made its debut at the start of the 2024 season but closed abruptly after just a few days for retooling and never reopened.

Clark said the park still “anticipates it opening.”

Tickets are details are not available just yet, but Clark said, the park does plan to once again host behind-the-scenes Winter Chill tours in February.
