Emergency crews rescued 28 guests stuck on a ride at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon, on Friday.
A TikTok video showed dozens of park-goers trapped upside down on a ride at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon, on Friday.
Emergency crews rescued 28 people who ended up stuck on the AtmosFEAR on Friday afternoon after they were left in midair for about 30 minutes.
A park-goer, who goes by Chris Ryan on TikTok, filmed the terrifying event and posted it to his page. The video showed the ride upside down at a 90-degree angle while the people remained strapped in their seats, with their feet dangling in the air.
Chris then went on the Ferris wheel and filmed the AtmosFEAR from the top. “We just asked the lady at the bottom of the Ferris wheel if this has ever happened before, and she said no. And she says she’s actually concerned for them”, he says in the video.
As Chris was filming, the amusement park made an announcement telling its guests that they were closing down. “Please vacate the park immediately”, the voice on the loud speaker said.
Zooming into the riders stuck upside down, Chris said, “That is actually f***ing terrifying. Jesus Christ, I hope those people are OK.”
Newsweek reached out to Chris via Instagram direct message for comment.
