Stuck on amusement park ride for four hours
California: Amusement park goers seeking a thrill in California ended up getting stuck high above the ground for hours on Wednesday.

The three minute Windseeker attraction at Southern California's Knott's Berry Farm broke down and left twenty riders dangling over 91 metres above the amusement park for nearly four hours.

A spokesperson for the park said the ride, which lifts people high in the air with their legs dangling and spins them in a circle, malfunctioned at 2300 GMT (1600 local time).

TV news helicopters showed all the riders being lowered to the ground and helped off shortly before 0300 GMT (2000 local time), long after the park had closed and darkness had fallen.

Nobody was injured and there was no that indication anyone was in danger.

Riders sat calmly as they waited in the air, some casually swinging their legs.

The ride also left people stuck in the air on September 7th.
