  • as one of the people affected by this it was absolutely horrifying. when it got stuck nobody seemed to realize for about 3 minutes which was so damn scarry. the last 10 or so minutes everyone was shouting in agony as others has blood vessels in their face burst and make red dots. i REALLY hope the ride gets help and gets better maintenence.
  • "Refund!" WTF! They should sue. Maintenance didn't do their jobs.

    Is this like the slowest fire department on the entire planet 20 minutes seriously I've never heard of anybody moving that slow. I mean, they could've push the firetruck faster than that.

    Not the first safety issue Oaks Park has had. 18 years ago, an attendant did not put the restraints over my son and I on a roller coaster. We did the ride in terror as they couldn't fix it. I was badly bruised and my son would've been thrown out of his seat if I wasn't holding onto him. The park was dismissive about it afterward. No one seemed to care. They finally paid me $1,000 after the state got involved. I could have gone to the media.

    "Roughly 30 people". Why don't they have the facts? It was 28 people. Not too tough. Smh!

    It's like winning a lottery, you don't believe it until you get it.
  • All those people almost die. Being upside down for that long will kill you.......

    "Just another trauma that I have to deal with now"... Truer words have never been spoken🤌
  • For the people ho are wondering what happened. they were stuck up side down for 30 minutes, they tried to get the ride back down but failed after a couple minutes they called firefighters and when they came they got the ride dawn, some people went unconscious and couldn’t feel their legs, but all of the 20 to 30 people that were on the ride made it of safely.
  • that young couple is so sweet, i’m glad they were able to smile afterwords

    This is the second time the ride broke. I was at the park last year and they shut down the ride shortly after opening due to mechanical problems. I cant believe it broke down a second time and it wouldve been so terrifying to be stuck on it.

    You'd think Places like oaks park are safer than those traveling parking lot carnivals, but the truth is oaks park only has to get inspected every 6 months, as opposed to the traveling carnivals that have to have a safety inspector take a look every week when they move spots. Every time a ride is setup it needs a safety inspection. Rides that don't get moved and setup elsewhere only get checked every 6 months. These places are not safe.
