A rollercoaster at Pleasurewood Hills in Great Yarmouth breaks down and leaves people trapped about 50 feet above the ground. Multiple outlets report that the Wipeout carriage stops while riders are still in the air, prompting emergency services to be called.
All sources say rescue teams help free the stranded passengers and that no injuries are reported. The Daily Record and Manchester Evening News both specify that 27 people are affected, while The Independent describes the incident more generally as dozens of riders being stuck.
The reporting focus differs slightly across outlets: one emphasizes the height and number of people trapped, while another highlights the breakdown mechanism and the response by emergency services. However, they agree on the core details—an unscheduled stop on the Wipeout ride, riders stuck at roughly 50 feet, and a successful evacuation without reported harm.
