22 People Rescued After Roller Coaster Gets Stuck

Author Melanie Day

It was a ride they’ll never forget. Twenty-two people had to be rescued after getting stuck on a roller coaster in Arizona over the weekend. Officials said the ride at Castles N’ Coasters in Phoenix stalled mid-ride, with its passengers stuck 20 feet off the ground. Emergency crews were able to get everyone off safely. There’s no word yet on what caused the Desert Storm roller coaster to freeze up.

I love a good roller coaster and have ridden my fair share. I’ve even had them stop on the lift hill on the way up, but I’m not sure how quickly I’d get on one if I had to be rescued.

Have you ever gotten stuck on an amusement park ride?
