A dozen riders on a roller coaster spent half an hour hanging upside down — 150 feet above the ground — after a power outage shut down the ride.
It took about 30 minutes for firefighters to rescue the riders using a ladder truck Saturday evening, said Aundrea Crary, spokeswoman for the Magic Springs & Crystal Falls amusement park in Arkansas.
Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster.
The X-Coaster was one of several rides brought to a halt by the outage that originated somewhere near the park.
"You could tell who got off the [X-Coaster] because their faces were red," said Angela Salter.
The park resumed normal operations, although the X-Coaster remained closed.

Not to merchandise movies, but that sounds like Final Destination 3, where they get stuck aswell... and then all die miserably.
