It's easy for people to brush this off as no big deal but 25-30 minutes is a LONG LONG time, especially when you're suspended in the air. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. Rides similar to this one have literally broken apart and killed people. Look it up!

Yes but this one LITERALLY did not kill anyone, in fact except for someone with a "pre-existing condition" (whatever it was) no one went to the hospital. Now if there is gross negligence that caused this then yeah someone needs to be held accountable, but if this was just some rare freak thing, then accidents happen, no one was hurt outside of being uncomfortable for half an hour, and everyone got to go home and have some social media bragging to do about how they were there and "I never thought I'd get to go home and hug my dad again"

@@Coast2Coast88 What if it was an accident that was no one's fault? What if the reason for this is a tiny piece of metal broke because there was some microscopic imperfection in the steel as it was being forged at a steel mill? Do you blame the amusement park for that? the ride company? hell even the steel company? Look, I'm just saying find out the WHY first to make sure the reason something broke is because of some negligence whether that be lack of inspection or design choice before you suggest people need to lawyer up. Accidents happen sometimes, and there is a chance it is no one's fault, and that as a concept shouldn't be discarded until you know more.

This was no balancing error or coincidence. The ride cycle includes a brief pause in that position while rotating, and it's built into the swinging mechanisms. An error at exactly the wrong time resulted in this position lock-up. If not for that built-in holding mechanism, this would've returned to the loading position after swinging freely for about 15minutes.

Restraints will not fail on these rides. The locking mechanisms in place require multiple latches before the ride can even leave the station. This ride here the restraints stayed in place. None of the riders fell out. That said, how this ride got fully inverted is what has my attention here since I wasn’t aware this particular flat ride went fully upside down.
@ItsDannyRobbins
@ItsDannyRobbins 9 күн бұрын
The ride's cycle has a deliberate pause for a few seconds in this position programmed into it, and a holding brake in the fulcrum to keep it there. A fault at exactly the wrong time is what resulted in this. If not for that holding brake the gondola would've returned to the loading position after swinging freely for a while.

I got on Superman at 6 Flags once. You start out "Semi-Sitting" (knees slightly bent in an upright position). And then the ride brings you parallel to the ground (facing downwards) before leaving the station to advance you up the chain lift from below the track. One time, after being brung into the parallel position.. the ride got stuck and froze in position. We hung there parallel, for about 20 - 25 minutes before continuing on. It's kool for a second, but then, doesn't take long before that feeling of being strapped in tight.. feeling the weight of your body against the restraints.. and not having much wiggle room kicks in. It can induce Panic if you start to think too much and don't remain calm. Which then can then turn into a real problem. I can only imagine what these riders were going through.. stuck.. upside down.. 100 n something feet in the air! Smh. Glad everyone's ok!

We rode Falcons Fury at Busch Gardens a few weeks ago and right as the seats turned to face down we heard a thud and the ride stopped. We sat there facing down for maybe a minute or so when a voice told us to be patient they were checking out what was wrong. Those few minutes or so were terrifying just waiting for the ride to just drop, or thinking we’d be stuck 335 feet up in the Florida heat. It took about 2-3 minutes and they told us to hold on and then we went down. I cannot imagine being stuck up there like that for much longer. Needless to say, we will not ride that again.

Regular pendulum rides will always return to their loading position. Even in a power failure, they'd swing freely for about 20minutes before coming to rest at the bottom. THESE rides however, with programmed pauses at the top, are geared to do so, and a fault/E-stop at exactly the wrong time results in this.

Okay, but how does it even get stuck like that?!?

There's a holding brake in the swing mechanism for loading, and for this position. It's meant to very briefly pause like this and swing the other direction. But an error at just the wrong time causes things to lock and automatically E-stop. It wasn't a freak result of balancing, it was mechanically locked in that position. If not for the holding brake, it would've swung freely for a while before stopping in the loading position. Don't want to get stuck like this? Don't ride attractions that pause at the top. This is why it's important to ALWAYS watch a ride cycle before you decide to get on for yourself.

God, that’s terrifying. I don’t go on rides for this reason. Sure, most are safe and these kinds of things are rare, but they do happen. I’m afraid of heights anyway, lol, so it’s no big deal not to go on them. I’m so glad they were able to get those people down and no one was physically harmed. Mentally might be another matter.

Well, I think that was the tiny miny possibility of physics to let the ride stop exactly upside down. As a ride op myself I am just wondering why it took them so long to get that thing going down again.

Just the fact they had no way to bring those people down manually or at least turn the ride so they were facing upwards is ridiculous. They should have had some manual analog mechanism or back up generator to get the ride to at least return the riders to the station or a position where a rescue crane could evacuate the ride.

There maintenance can't check this ride it has to be checked by the people that made it. They make these rides so hard to take care of that no park people can ever check them out they are too complicated and are Hydraulic nightmares. It takes thousands to keep them running. I know I worked at a park for my retirement job.
