A roller coaster in Texas malfunctions while riders are on a near-vertical section, leaving them stranded about 100 feet above the ground for several hours on Thursday, 28 May. NBC News reports that eight riders are stuck after the ride stops during its vertical climb. The Independent similarly describes passengers being trapped on a 100-foot vertical hill when the system fails. Both accounts indicate that the malfunction occurs mid-ride and that riders remain in place until the situation is resolved hours later. The reports do not provide details on the cause of the malfunction, the exact location or amusement park name, or the timing of when riders are fully evacuated. The information available across the two sources is limited to the altitude reached during the failure, the prolonged duration of the stoppage, and the number of riders affected.
