Eventually riders were taken off the ride, climbing down a side ladder. The first time the 88-year-old ride got stuck was on opening day back in March.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and everyone made it down safely. However, just what caused the malfunction remains a mystery.
Eyewitness News noticed operations staff putting some sort of coating on the track. The operations manager is still inside working to ensure that the coaster is safe.
