Knott's Berry Farm visitors stuck on ride for hours

More than 20 passengers were suspended in midair for hours after the Sol Spin ride at Knott's Berry Farm in California malfunctioned on Monday.

Two female guests were transported to a hospital “out of an abundance of caution,” a park spokesperson said.

I’m happy that no one was stuck upside down!

Imagine holding in your pee waiting in line just to get off and use the restroom just to get stuck for 2 hours… I’d be

We took our youth group from church to an amusement park and one of the rides broke. The ride looked like an octopus with its arms being where the people sat similar to this ride. One arm actually fell to the ground while it was spinning. Miraculously not one person even had a scratch on them! They literally could’ve lost legs and no one was touched! I was watching everything take place because my son was on the ride. It all happened so fast! We all knew that God had protected all of them!

Everyone stuck on the ride was probably awarded a jar of Knocksberry jam in compensation.

OMG!! Could you imagine someone who suffers from anxiety being stuck there??

[GreatOvation]

That would really suck especially if you had to go to the washroom.

Everyone on that ride needs to be compensated.

I asked my toddler yesterday, at Knott’s, if he wanted to ride that one. He said, “No.” Good judgement, that kid.

the most important part of the video, to show how they actually got down, is not shown of course

Digging the "stuck on an amusement park ride" song.

It should NEVER take that long to fix that problem

I feel bad for the ones stuck facing the sun

I watched this live randomly but managed to see the last ten minutes of them being stuck there and then successfully forcing the ride to the ground. Two of the riders left in wheelchairs.

That sound track felt like hours for one clip

I feel so bad for everyone who was stuck !!! So sorry that happened ! I am so happy that nobody died. Two people were taken to the hospital. I pray that they are alright !!

This is why LOCAL NEWS is so important. If I was stuck on there and some news crew immediately rushed over to interview me, I'd know that at least the company would be held accountable...

If someone was stuck upside down I would feel so bad for them

[TigerTummy]

I have a small bladder and pee more than the average person. I can’t imagine being stuck up there for two hours and getting my forehead tanned. What a nightmare!

Having your feet dangle with no support for long periods gets very uncomfortable. This couldn't have been fun.

Look, life will forever be different as of two weeks ago. We got enough thrills to worry about on the ground. Don’t go thrill seeking.
