"Scary! Roller Coaster Suddenly Stops, 32 Passengers Hanging Upside Down"

"Dream – Enjoying extreme rides at amusement parks is a pleasure for some people. Besides being exciting, extreme rides are also considered to boost adrenaline, which is always a challenge to try."

One of the extreme rides that is quite popular in amusement parks is the roller coaster. This ride takes you through winding tracks and goes up and down at high speeds.

"However, even though it is enjoyable, it would be a different story if the ride suddenly experiences an error that risks endangering safety. This nightmare was experienced by dozens of roller coaster passengers at Universal Studios amusement park in Osaka, Japan, on Wednesday. They were hanging at a height equivalent to a 10-story building. Worse, the machine got stuck in an inverted position."

"Cited from the website straitstimes.com, the roller coaster named Flying Dinosaur suddenly stalled at the highest point of the track, which is 30 meters above the ground."

Visitors initially thought that this incident was just a staged roller coaster act. However, the park operator mentioned that this incident was a machine failure.

"Operator added, the number of passengers on the roller coaster ride that were trapped was 32 people. The Japanese public broadcaster, NHK, mentioned that the Flying Dinosaur slide train overturned on the axis of the track and was moving upside down around 11 AM. However, until now, the duration of this incident is still unknown."

The translation of "Kasus Serupa tahun 2018" to English is "Similar Cases in 2018".

According to the report obtained, it turns out that a similar case also occurred in this extreme amusement park about 5 years ago. Worse, the ride that was taken was also the same.

The roller coaster Flying Dinosaurus suddenly stopped in the middle of the track on May 1, 2018, leaving passengers hanging upside down for about two hours. The ride they were on got stuck and suddenly stopped at separate points along the 1,120-meter track. The park operator stated that the damage occurred due to a defective part in the train control system.

"They added that the roller coaster automatically stops if the sensors installed on the ride detect any abnormalities, but the exact cause of the incident is still unknown."

"According to the NHK report, no one was injured in the incident. All passengers have also been evacuated and taken to a safe place via the emergency stairs."

According to an NHK report, another roller coaster at Universal Studios Japan also experienced the same mechanical issue. On January 22, 2022, about 30 people had to be rescued from the Hollywood Dream ride. They were stuck, sitting upright, for about 90 minutes before being rescued. The incident occurred three months after the same roller coaster suddenly stopped due to a power outage, leaving 35 people trapped. (Report: M Bintang Alfan Nur Fauzi)
