 Park News - (9/18/2026) Cedar Point has posted a fun video showcasing the construction of the new Diablo: The Infernal Path haunted maze opening soon at Cedar Point as well as at Kings Dominion for the respective Haunt events. Based on the quick flashes of scenery shown in the teaser, I’d say that this is already looking to be far above and beyond anything you may have seen at either of these parks before during the Halloween season.
This can only be a good thing as the park’s are now re-calibrating their experiences going forward to a much higher bar in terms of quality, and thus also setting a new standard for what guests are going to expect to be added each year going forward.
(8/16/2026) For those who have been wondering for years when or if Cedar Point would ever retire their classic Arrow Corkscrew roller coaster, it looks like it may have gotten a bit of a reprieve. It was reported that American Coaster Enthusiasts are gathering at The Point on Sept. 12 to unveil an official plaque the Corkscrew, naming it an official ACE Roller Coaster Landmark ride.
There isn’t any legal standing that would stop Cedar Point from closing the ride, but it certainly wouldn’t make sense to do it anytime in the years that immediately followed the ride being given the special Landmark award from ACE.
(8/8/2026) Another themed maze IP is coming to the Six Flags chain this season with the premier of a “Diablo: The Infernal Path” haunted maze at Cedar Point. Nice to see a cool video game used as a haunted maze theme instead of only movies.
(7/16/2026) In perhaps one of the oddest news stories of the week, a couple at Cedar Point were arrested at the park when they refused to get off the park’s Skyride. Security arrived… the police were called to remove them from the gondola, cuff them and take them away. Some pictures and video footage were posted to FB’s Von Roll / Skyrides page… and it’s just bizarre.
(6/28/2026) Cedar Point’s Magnum has been in the news headlines lately for a couple of reasons. For starters, it closed for a bit in late June when a guest reported that they were nearly struck by a small metal washer that they believed flew off from the ride. A safety inspection has been completed and Magnum has since reopened.
In other news, would you believe that Cedar Point is now selling some track slices from Magnum to fans? Apparently the memorabilia pieces are only being sold inside the park for about $300 each, cut from a few sections of original ride track that were removed and replaced with new track over the years. I don’t know how good the supply is, as the pieces may be in high demand and of course, in very limited supply, but I’m told that they were only being sold in the Pagoda Gift Shop starting yesterday afternoon.
(6/10/2026) It has been a rough few days for the Point's newest star attraction. Over the weekend, reports and viral videos flooded social media showing the park's Siren's Curse Tilt Roller Coaster getting stuck not once, but twice. According to park statements, the ride experienced separate technical delays on Saturday and Sunday, leaving riders stranded in a vertical position just before the major drop for just over 20 minutes each time while automatic safety systems performed checks. Thankfully, the system did exactly what it was supposed to do, but I imagine hanging face-first over a massive drop for 20 minutes wasn't exactly the kind of "curse" these riders bargained for!
Of course, hanging over the edge before the plunge is exactly the kind of dangerous thrill that Siren’s Curse was designed to promote to entice visits to the park to ride it. So, much like the thrill of how many enthusiasts were always hoping to experience a “roll back” on the original Top Thrill Dragster, leading Cedar Point to re-engineer the ride to produce that sensation ever time with Top Thrill 2… I’ve got to know how many coaster fans kind of hope to experience one of these Siren’s Curse stall moments.
(5/28/2026) This was a bit of a dumb “stunt” just for social media views, but a content creator has now been given a lifetime ban not only to Cedar Point, but to all of the Six Flags chain of parks after sneaking a pack of chicken nuggets and sauce onto Millennium Force in order to try and eat them on camera mid-ride. I’d seriously hate to have been sitting on the ride behind that dude, because the sauce went everywhere!
So… nope… not worth it.
(5/17/2026) While the timeline is a little vague, Cedar Point’s Tony Clark has confirmed that the seat belts on Millennium Force were directly supplied to the park by Intamin, and have been confirmed as being “shorter than the manufacturer’s specifications. We are working with them to replace the belts in the coming weeks.”
So… this mess has now been put in Intamin’s lap, and hopefully something as simple as crate of new seat-belts can be shipped out ASAP from Intamin, but you never know just how long this might take. Here’s to hoping that some positive traction can come to solve this issue by Memorial Day Weekend, but it could take much longer. We just have no way to know right now.
That said… I am very glad to see the park be transparent about the issue and quick to respond to let everyone know they are now aware and taking corrective action.
2027 - Nothing is known at this point in time...
2026 - 2028 - Causeway Expansion and Other Road Updates -
(1/2/2026) I think we’ve mentioned in the past that the Cedar Point Causeway will go under construction in Fall 2026 for a project to widen it to allow for an extra lane of traffic as well as a bike/pedestrian lane. That project is expected to take a few years to complete, so traffic in and out of The Point may be a little congested for a while once it starts.
However, it seems a second project is also expected to begin within the same timeframe that will also affect your drive in and out of America’s Roller Coast. The city just awarded a construction contract last month to build a “Roundabout” as a replacement for the current three-way intersection at Cedar Point Drive and Cleveland Road, (between Thirsty Pony Restaurant and Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que) which virtually everyone who comes and goes from the amusement park travels through each way.
They have not said exactly when construction will begin, only that the project is expected to take about 18 months to complete, and you know how those always go longer than expected. So this will definitely have an impact on the area, and likely require the use of a detour for awhile, so expect things to get a little complicated for the next few years.
???? - New Attraction Guest Survey Concepts - (10/18/2025) Six Flags has begun sending out surveys to select guests to get feedback about possible future addition concepts that may be in the works. Keep in mind that not every concept they pitch for any given park may actually be intended for that particular park, as sometimes the chains will pitch ride concepts to other markets as well to gain some broader feedback on certain concepts. With that said… let’s dig into what is currently being pitched for the various parks.
The survey for Cedar Point proposed something no one expected… a Vekoma Suspended Thrill Glider coaster. Yes, this seems to be the very coaster that everyone has been waiting to see pop up at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was first expected for the 2025 season, then semi-pitched by corporate as coming in 2026 instead, only all work on the site in California came to a halt as the clearing was finished. The big issue against this going to Cedar Point is that the Ohio park just added two back to back major coasters, Top Thrill 2 which opened briefly in 2024 only to complications forcing a relaunch in 2025 alongside Siren’s Curse in 2025. With that in mind, it may be a couple more years until Cedar Point really needs a new coaster.
Other attractions proposed include a Vekoma Multi-Launch Family Coaster, a family friendly coaster and proposals for new shows such as a Nighttime Spectacular or daytime Stunt Spectacular.
