The ride stopped prematurely and an abnormality in the driving mechanism was detected
An iconic attraction at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park has been suspended from operation indefinitely after a glitch was found on Saturday afternoon.
The theme park said its safety system detected an abnormality of the driving mechanism in the Dragon roller coaster at 3.49pm.
According to a spokeswoman, the roller coaster stopped just before it reached the ending platform of the ride. On-site staff helped to evacuate 25 riders from the area in under an hour.
The park said in a statement that riders, who were seated in open-top cars of the outdoor attraction, did not report any discomfort or illness.
A spokeswoman said the ride was suspended until further notice as visitor safety was the number one priority.
