A rider was stranded in a nightmare event that appeared to have malfunctioned while climbing from the top of the Big One ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, UK. According to The Daily Star, the incident took place on a Sunday afternoon. Thrillseekers explained that the rollercoaster’s wagon stopped towards the top of the 235-foot ride.

The Big One was the tallest and steepest roller coaster in the world when it opened in 1994. It can be seen from across the Fylde coast as it stands tall and prominent on Blackpool’s skyline.

According to DailyStar, an apparent malfunction over the weekend left riders on the iconic roller coaster stranded at the top of a frightening, steep descent. Riders said that after the ride stopped en route, people started walking the coaster using the stairs next to it to access the carriages. No one was injured at the time of the accident.

Carowinds amusement park made a statement that the park’s maintenance team was quick to respond and that guests were never put at risk.

An amazing video has been captured of children falling to hard ground beneath the ground at an Indonesian amusement park. Of the 16 people trapped in the slide, eight were taken to a nearby hospital, and three of them suffered fractures. The water park, located in Surabaya city, is said to have caused the accident because the rides wore out and weakened over time.
