The park-goers were trapped 100 feet in the air for 3 hours!

Transcript

00:00 24 people visiting Six Flags in Bowie, Maryland were stuck 100 feet in the air

00:04 for nearly three hours when the roller coaster they were riding broke down and

00:09 came to a grinding halt. As scary as this must have been, can you imagine waiting

00:13 in line for hours only to get on to the ride and wait for hours? The ride, named

00:20 "The Joker's Jinx," malfunctioned around 5:30 p.m. You see, I knew the Joker was

00:25 behind this. "It wouldn't be called The Joker if it wasn't great." Local rescue

00:30 crews arrived quickly and started evacuating the children from the ride

00:33 first. Soon everybody was off of the ride safe and sound by about 9:30 p.m. Six

00:39 Flags released a statement saying, "Joker's Jinx did not complete its regular

00:43 ride cycle, causing it to stop at a safe location on the track. The safety of our

00:47 guests is our highest priority and the ride will be closed for a thorough

00:50 inspection before reopening." A similar thing happened in August 2014 when

00:55 two dozen riders were stuck for up to five hours because of a malfunction on

00:59 "The Joker's Jinx." Willis Wheeler on Twitter sums it up best. "Never riding a

01:03 roller coaster named after a crazy killer clown." What would you do if you

01:06 were trapped high in the air by the clown prince of crime? For more trends
