On Tuesday, in Sandusky, Ohio, dozens of roller coaster riders in Cedar Point were forced to leave the waiting lines of a ride and evacuate from the ride itself. That ride was the Magnum XL-200. The roller coaster ride had suddenly froze right at the 205-foot drop.
Rescuers set up a steep and scary staircase to let the roller coaster riders evacuate the ride quickly. Events like this have happened many times recently. In an amusement park in North Carolina, the ride had some technical issues which made it stop abruptly. A month ago, eight passengers were stuck upside-down at a Wisconsin festival party. Rescuers had to save the passengers one by one. Another time in Cedar Point, a roller coaster called the Wild Mouse stopped twice during a ride.
People say that the reason why the Magnum XL-200 stopped was because there was a mechanical issue that stopped the ride. Even though there are many roller coaster problems, no one got injured at all.
