A little accident happened on Tuesday, in Cedar Point that caused around 12 people to evacuate the park. Cedar Point is a 364 acre amusement park located in Sandusky, Ohio.

Riders aboard the Magnum XL-200 were stuck more than 200 feet in the air. How long were they going to stay like that before they got reduced? Minutes? Hours? Days, even?

Thankfully, it wasn’t long until Cedar Point staff helped the riders go down a steep staircase down the ride. In 1989, the Magnum XL-200 made history as a Guinness World Record holder as the fastest and steepest complete-circuit coaster in the world, also breaking the record of reaching more than 200 feet in the air.

NPR’s request for comment on the accident was not replied to by a spokesperson, but the park did tell Fox News Digital that it was a “standard ride stoppage” caused by a “check engine light” problem.

However, the Magnum XL-200 only roller coaster problem wasn’t the only one that occurred.

In July, passengers of the roller coaster Fireball at a Wisconsin festival had to remain stuck upside-down for three hours while the staff went on a rescue mission for the passengers.

A few days earlier, riders of the 325 feet Fury 325 located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, was closed for repairs when guests said they saw a problem in its support beams. A certificate of operation was declined after inspectors found another problem.

The Wild Mouse, another ride in Cedar Point, stopped twice in a preview phase in May.

However problems there are, though, I think we can all agree that roller coasters can be fun and thrilling in more ways than one.
