Happy screams turned to terrified screams within minutes of an Oregon amusement park ride malfunctioning Friday, leaving more than two dozen people hanging upside down - 50 feet in the air - for almost 30 minutes.
The park, which opened in 1905, describes AtmosFEAR as 'an exciting ride with circulating and oscillating up and down motion.' The incident Friday was the ride's first safety issue since opening in 2021.
As a crowd stared up at the trapped riders, cellphones began falling to the ground and riders yelled for help. He said most of the riders appeared to be teens.
