Thanks for posting. Seems deserving of oversight without financial ties to the operator or investigation.
What a neat and concise report at the end. "Shoes fell out and someone puked."
Well, people in Australia are used to it, being upside down.
This is the second time a ride has malfunctioned in that exact spot. The Scream'n Eagle was shut down and replaced by this very ride because a safety restraint kept disengaging mid ride.
Oh my God. I'm glad everyone is safe.
Why no video of how they were rescued that would be interesting!
I was there and scared for everyone on that ride
I've seen a roller coaster ride stuck upside-down for over an hour and people started urinating and it was trickling off their heads 😢
and i thought it was starting to pour again. I got peed on. 🤮

Good grief, not sure the rides are worth the risk after seeing so many ride failures posted online.
@@lonelycubicle India and other countries have poor health and safety standards hence some of the videos online, unfortunately I feel as though uk standards are slipping.
yeah i was on it while this happened. my head started to hurt and multiple kids has their faces red with internally bursted blood vessels.
Proof??
On my yt Chanel I posted a vid on it and I have people I know taking about it int the comments
Must have been a scary experience. I hope you're okay now.
This is why I don’t get on rides anymore
When I was a kid, it was called the screaming eagle
When I was a kid it was called "new"
That's a different ride...
@@BeccaHetrick i know it did the same thing tho. They should’ve kept that one lol idk if it’s still there or not
You sound like a sissy wimp laydboy
I almost fell out of the black spider ride as a kid at Oaks Park. My brother saved my life by holding onto me. I’ve never trusted amusement park rides. There was another ride at Oaks Park where I was freely tumbling around inside a cage that kept turning. I kept screaming on the top of my lungs for the operator to stop. He never did.
My friend and I went to the wa state fair last summer (2023) and she and I both almost flew out onto the classic coaster during the initial drop and after we cried and held on to the bar trying to keep it down and we both had bruised knees and mine were cut open it was instant impact trauma I thought my knee was broken but I was also a bit embarrassed so I wanted to play it off like I didn’t just get hurt when getting off but we had no seatbelts unlike others around us and when we went back this spring the car we sat in wasn’t open to passengers. We didn’t even complain or anything cause the ride operators were all really rude that day. We felt like burdens just off the bat and were talked down to by grumpy operators . We are a lot more careful and mindful about ride safety and risk factors we no longer have this blind comfort level like everything is safe because so many people do it.
How is it that there is NO VIDEO of the moment when the ride flipped back and people were removed????
You would never get me on something like that. I'm scared of heights.
hey i left a million pounds on that ride, you can go and get it for me after your ride.
🤣No way.
The ride of your life! Stories will be told. Grandpa will someday tell his grandkids about the day he almost died at an amusement park. Not so amusing at the time.
Apparently what there was one serious injury. The kid in the black hoodie has..... EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😂
If you don't have any injuries how else are you going to sue?
NO INJURIES!? I WOULD BE LIKE "AHHH, I CANT WALK" IMAGINE THE LAWSUIT MONEY THEY COULD GET!
Just went here on the 4th 😭😭
Geez Louise! Upside down for about 30 minutes at a height of 50 feet? Imagine if this had occurred at night!
3rd video seen that does not show the rescue. Such an obvious video to show that the news organizations should say why it’s not shown.
They released the brake let the momentum die and then once it stopped they got everyone off and checked the vitals.
… do you think maybe the news wasn’t there because it was an emergency situation and cameras didn’t arrive in time and they had closed and evacuated the park? This is real life, not a television show. Not everything is on film. 🤦🏼♀️
Maybe because it's a news segment and they have limited time? Maybe ask the producer why they didn't put that clip in since you're so upset about it....

Thanks!
@@meglyy
Yes, but these days, someone had a camera, guessing the park did not allow anyone to record it.
Lawsuit incoming
one hell of a ride. Can i go on it again? don't worry you can catch my vomit if i get stuck for the second time
No footage of the rescue? Come on man
Harness test..!!!! 😳💩
Well, they got the ride name right....
So did they get the ride and everyone upright before getting them off the ride?
I was on that ride with a young girl I was trying to comfort her. I’m never going on a roller coaster again or whatever you’d like to that thing
No injuries? Say What? That was a terrifying, near tragedy, and many of those people will suffer symptoms of PTSD. Absolutely flipping terrifying,
r u being fr rn? near tragedy? they got stuck upside down for not even a full 30 minutes in a ride with very safe restraints. theres no reason anyone would get fatally injured. ptsd?? really? oml
@@luciferisdon't act like a jerk
@@ninaw3748 people need to stop treating serious disorders like a joke. yes, being stuck upside down on a ride is scary. no, its not going to give you PTSD and its not going to kill you. those restraints are going to keep you safer than you are when youre in the car on the way to the park.
@@luciferis you can't speak for all those people if they'll have PTSD or not. You're just guessing you wouldn't have that as a result. Great for you. Don't speak for others. Yes, thankfully they were safe. That doesn't mean they felt that way while hanging upside down for 26 minutes.
WOW 😅 That's one hell of a way to sell The ride lol Maybe this actually was the ride lol
in all or at least some types of truck driving, drivers are supposed to do a pre-trip inspection of the truck before starting on the road. maybe the ride should be inspected before every run or like every 5-10 ride runs. or maybe every 10-30 or 60 minutes or something? but that would or might "slow down production" though.
That machine is a bad design. If you lose power, the brakes should release whoever programmed this machine educated🤪
The scream at six flags here in Massachusetts did the same thing years back in like 99-2000 there was a really big guy that went on the ride before I did in the exact same seat and he took up two seats in the seatbelt. They had a hard time getting the bar down over him on the ride, called the scream. It would shoot up like a rocket or a bullet like 0 to 60 seconds well when I got on the ride right after he did it shut up and I heard the metal bar like snap and it flew up and I almost fell out of the ride, scaring the crap out of me. I could not breathe. They had to call EMS upon me landing down.😢 I was hanging on for my dear life I almost fell off the ride
Thanks God I wasn’t there
Ride is only 3 yrs old. Yeah I wouldn't trust any of their rides
I be terrified… upside down , stuck 100 feat in the air ,for 30 MINs.. And how the ride harness puts pressure on you when you upside down , I be puking and going to fainted .. no thanks just looking at it makes me terrified..but how it feels to be on it 🤢
I WAS JUST THERE
I bet some sued.
My God, thank God I've never been as fragile emotionally as the kid in the black sweatshirt. He must have been a pleasure to be stuck next to.😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think he was being dramatic
If you would have been stuck 25 minutes upside down, you probably would have cried, and then afterwards you would have denied it.
You’d have no idea how long you’d be stuck and if your body would even make it when you’re so high up in the air. Your head would start pounding and filling with blood and it’s almost like you’re watching your life end before your very eyes if you were stuck long enough. That would be one of the most traumatizing experiences imaginable
OOPS I hate when that happens 😂
Stay in school😂😂😂
OMG
type 2 fun
🤮
Best ride ever🎡
Can't wait to go on again🎢
