As per shocking reports, a roller coaster at Universal Studios in Japan in Osaka got halted and left around 64 riders hanging in the air for around 2 hours before they all got saved cautiously.
The movie theme park stated that the two wagons of the Flying Dinosaur roller-coaster were stuck unexpectedly midway through the 1100 m ride at around 4:45 p.m.
The similar roller coaster also went through the same problem during action in the months of August and September 2017, leaving a few ride-goers hanging upside down.
Each wagon of the Flying Dinosaur roller-coaster boasted of 32 passengers. One carriage stopped around 20 to 30 meters beyond the ground on its upward pathway whilst the other got jammed just ahead of getting to the terminal.
In a major declaration, the Osaka park, crammed with tourists as well as locals throughout Japan’s “Golden Week” series of holidays, stated that all of the riders remained safe.
The last rider had to wait two hours before being brought down. The park made an apology and stated that the trouble was caused by a motor controlling tool on the bars.
The ride restarted its functioning after repair works and security checks. But, a lot of people got scared to climb on.
“It’s scary to think (about) if we had been on-board. I don’t want to ride it anymore,” one woman visiting the park told media.
That rollercoaster in Japan that was upside down was scary.

“It’s already a terrifying ride, so I want them to operate it safely,” another lady, who rode the ride shortly before it stalled, stated.
Just read the news about the people stuck on a rollercoaster ride for over 2 hours in Japan. See, that is why I don’t ride those things. Too freaking scary

In spite of the mishap, a lot of people got queued up for the ride on the same roller coaster as shortly as operations restarted soon after 7 p.m.
If this happens in Japan then no rollercoaster is safe! My trepidation is totally justified! https://t.co/SznDQSS9HZ

A representative for Universal Studios Japan in Osaka stated that the deferral of the roller coaster was the consequence of the operator’s priority on safety.
Those people stuck upside on the rollercoaster in Japan … I feel so bad right now for them. I hope they all get off ok.
