Riders hang in the air for hours after California attraction stops mid-ride | California

A group of visitors to Knott’s Berry Farm park in California were stuck in mid-air for hours after the ride they were enjoying suddenly came to a halt mid-ride.

CBS News reported that the Sol Spin ride suddenly stopped around 2 p.m., leaving 22 people stranded. Fortunately, none of them were upside down on the ride, which markets itself as “guests on a thrilling adventure more than six stories high as they spin in all directions on one of six rotating arms,” ​​but some were stuck sideways.

In a statement to CBS, the park said: “We followed the ride manufacturer’s and (our) emergency procedures to safely evacuate the 22 guests at 4:30 p.m. Out of an abundance of caution, two female guests were transported to the hospital for further evaluation.”

According to the park’s website, Sol Spin is a “thrill ride… one for the brave.”
