Roller coaster riders at Universal Studios Florida Theme Park in Orlando were stuck for nearly an hour in a vertical position Thanksgiving night.
The Orlando Fire Department told FOX 35 the incident happened at the park’s Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster Thursday night, and said there were no injuries.
Riders on Rockit’s Rip Ride ride up a 167-foot vertical lift, then several twists, turns and loops.
Dennis Malesky, who was at the park, said he saw people stuck in vertical positions on the ride.
“We were walking out of the park at closing time and saw a bunch of people taking pictures of Rip Ride Rockit. That seemed a little odd until we looked up and saw the group stuck in the way,” Malesky said. “Not long after, the Fire Department arrived, but nothing seemed to have happened.
“The universal workers put everyone who didn’t know anyone on the trip on vacation, because it was after closing. On the way out, we saw the car finally moving. They must be there in an hour.”
After seeing what happened, Malesky said he would avoid the trip going forward.

“This is the only ride in the park that I haven’t done yet and, needless to say, it will probably stay that way,” Malesky said.
A woman can be heard in the video saying “They’re stuck there, at the end. They are literally on their backs now.”
Universal Studios did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
