Monday, June 17, 2024 - At least 28 people are recovering after a theme park ride in Oregon left them hanging upside down for more than 20 minutes.
Over the weekend, 28 passengers were riding Portland’s Oaks
Amusement Park’s AtmosFEAR at around 2:55 p.m on Friday when the ride stopped
in its place, suspending them all upside down in its “apex position,” the park
said in a statement.
According to the amusement park, the ride operators working on AtmosFEAR, which
can operate on either a 180- or 360-degree setting as it sends its
riders flipping through the air on a loop called 911 and began initiating
“emergency procedures.”
First responders, including Portland Fire & Rescue,
arrived on the scene around 3:20 p.m., the park said. Within minutes all of the
riders were taken off the ride and safely returned to the ground.
