A rollercoaster malfunction leaves a mother and her two young daughters trapped about 50 feet in the air for several hours, a report says. The family is on the “Wipeout” coaster at Pleasurewood Hills in Lowestoft when the ride breaks down on a bank holiday Monday.
According to the account, Stacey Stewart, 31, was riding with her daughters, Poppy, 8, and Marnie, 7. The incident lasts for hours before the riders are brought down once the attraction is made safe. The story is presented from the mother’s perspective, describing the fear and waiting during the stop.
