Watch As People Get Stuck 215 Feet On UK's Tallest Rollercoaster

World-famous UK’s tallest roller coaster broke down in the middle of a ride with people near the top on April 25 and leaving the passengers stranded at almost 213 ft mid-air. The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure stopped near the top while ascending forcing the riders to walk down the steps to safety, reports Lancashire Live. The Big One opened in 1994 as the Pepsi Max and is now the tallest and steepest roller coaster in the world at 65m tall. The £12m ride beat the Stealth to be the highest ride by three meters.

According to media reports, one person revealed how the ride stopped right at the top around afternoon and then staff had to guide the riders to walk down towards safety. They added if they would have been in the situation, they would have “been really scared.” Another person shared that his brother, who works in Blackpool, sent them a video of “people stuck at the top of the Big One and having to walk down to get off it.”
