(AP) A dozen riders on an Arkansas roller coaster spent half an hour hanging upside down — 150 feet above the ground — after a power outage shut down the attraction.
Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster, but one passenger threw up after reaching safety.
“You could tell who got off the (X-Coaster) because their faces were red,” said Angela Salter.
“The cause could be a (tree) limb or as simple as an animal (on the lines),” said Mark Hunt, general manager of customer service for Entergy. “We could find no faults, but we are going to continue to investigate until we find the cause.”
