This ride is approximately 50 meters high and is made up of a large descent in addition to multiple loops.
The passengers were caught just before the big descent more than 40 meters in the air, reports local channel FOX 35.
After approximately an hour, the ride was able to resume operation and no one was injured in this incident.
“We were walking out of the park and we saw people stuck at the top of the ride,” shares amusement park patron Dennis Malesky. They were taken about an hour. It’s one of the only rides I’ve ever done, but I think it’s going to stay that way.”
Orlando police responded to this incident and confirm that everything ended well for the occupants of the ride.
The exact cause that caused the ride to stop at this precise moment has not been revealed.
