This ride is approximately 50 meters high and consists of a large descent and several loops.
The passengers were caught more than 40 meters in the air just before the big descent, local station FOX 35 reports.
The journey was able to resume after about an hour and no one was injured in this incident.
“As we were leaving the park, we saw people stuck at the top of the ride,” said Dennis Malesky, patron of the amusement park. They lasted about an hour. It’s one of the few rides I’ve ever done, but I think it will stay that way.”
Orlando Police responded to this incident and confirmed that all ended well for the ride’s occupants.
The exact cause that caused the ride to stop at that precise moment was not disclosed.
