At about 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18, the Sol Spin ride stopped mid-cycle with 22 riders aboard, leading to a rescue operation that took over two hours.
Knott's Berry Farm officials confirmed that all riders were safely evacuated by 4:30 p.m., with two female riders transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
The Sol Spin ride, which opened in 2017, is a 65-foot-tall flat ride that spins in three directions, described as having a 'Double Black Diamond' thrill rating.
The park experienced heightened media coverage as four local television helicopters flew overhead, documenting the incident involving the stranded riders on the Sol Spin.
