On Sunday afternoon at San Diego SeaWorld Park, dozens of people had been trapped on a ride for approximately four hours. People were stuck on hundreds of feet above the ground.
According to the local time, it was 3:30 p.m. when the power shutdown at SeaWorld Park, San Diego. 46 passengers along with 2 employees of SeaWorld stuck on 'Sky Tower', reported by Fox 5 San Diego.
From a revolving capsule, the visitors can view Mission Bay and the skyline of San Diego. The ride is 400 feet tall.
In 220 feet in the air approximately, the capsule was stuck, the Associated Press told by Lee Swanson, spokesman of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
David Koontz spokesman of SeaWorld said, 'The guests were never in danger and park officials were in constant communication with them while the power failure was being addressed.' He added that guests were also provided with water and snacks in the ride by two employees.
The power restored and capsule came down at 7:30 p.m. No one got injured but 17 years old boy was taken to the hospital for the treatment of anxiety, said Swanson.
