Passengers will certainly not forget what they experienced last week in Blackpool, England.
Leo McMullen, 23, traveled from Glasgow to Blackpool, England to ride the Big One, a roller coaster that reaches a height of 72 metres. The man waited in line for more than two hours to board the park’s famous ride.
The tension was high as the cars slowly climbed to the highest point of the roller coaster. Everyone was excited to take the spooky ride on the Big One roller coaster. Unfortunately, McMullen and the amusement park rides with him soon come to an end, because Blackpool has been hit hard by storm Noa, bringing the roller coaster to a halt – People write.
The wind speed in the area reached 112 kilometers per hour, so the roller coaster and its passengers were suspended in the air. The structure had to be closed due to strong winds.
In recent days, the UK has also been hit with winds of up to 150 kilometers per hour due to Storm Noah. On April 11, the wind speed in Blackpool exceeded 112 kilometers per hour.
Liu and the other passengers had to get out of the cars and onto the emergency ladder in the high winds. In the video shared by the man, it is clear how the team was helped by the staff, as they climbed more than 400 steps on the red emergency ladder, holding on to the handrails.
The Big One, which has a top speed of 135 kilometers per hour, opened its doors to the public in 1994. This is not the first time that passengers have been trapped at the highest point of a roller coaster. In 2021, the big plane broke down, so the passengers had to go down the emergency stairs in a similar way.
Fortunately, no one was injured in either incident.
