Roller Coaster Riders Left Hanging, Power Outage Strands 12 Upside Down On The X-Coaster At Magic Springs - CBS News

Holy crap. That's all I can say. At least all I can say here, anyways! 150 feet above ground, upside down, for 30 minutes! I'd have died, and I really love roller coasters, but that's just too much! I would have just freaked out! :hurl:

Last year we went here and this ride got stuck--right after Rick Springfield got off! Along with 3 other rides breaking down with people stuck on them, I have video and pics of one of the other rides with the people stuck on it! For quiet a while too, we watched for about 30 min then had to leave for the concert. I would never ever go back here for rides. This was the first time I had ever been on a roller coaster (not this one a smaller) it messed up also afterwards. Scares me...................!

I hate coasters anyway and would never go on one that goes upside down, so the thought of being stuck upside down for 30 mins is horrifying to me. YIKES is all I can say.

OMG!! I would have been freaking out. I used to love roller coasters, but the older I get, the more fearful I become.

Wow. We go several times a week and very rarely see rides with people stuck on them. Rides are occasionally closed for maintance but are normally only down for an hour max. We love this park.

I know I'm the odd man out here but I love roller coasters. I'm sure that would have scared the begeezes out of me but if I would have lived through it, I'm sure I would get on another one, no questions asked.

I love roller coasters as well, but if that would havehappened to me, I'd never get on another one! At least we know the harness system was functional!
