28 people thus remained prisoners of the attraction called “AtmosFEAR”, upside down, around thirty meters above the ground.
The breakdown occurred around 2:55 p.m., and the ride, whose movement imitates that of a pendulum, could not be unblocked until 3:25 p.m.
Numerous firefighters were called to the scene to rescue visitors trapped in the attraction.
Fortunately, there were no injuries, but one person with a “special medical condition” was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure, the amusement park said.
