Hong Kong Ocean Park's "Wild Twister" ride malfunctioned this evening,trapping 17 users mid-air for some 1.5 hours. The high-speed spinning attraction came to a halt at 6:20 p.m.
The Park says the ride triggered a safety braking system because of a malfunction signal during operation and was temporarily suspended.
Starting at 7:37 p.m., with the help of firefighters, staff guided the affected passengers to safely return to the ground.
All 17 users had been rescued by 8:07 p.m., with no injuries reported.
Ocean Park is conducting a comprehensive inspection and repeated testing of the "Wild Twister."
The waterspout-inspired ride began operations in 2019. In 2021, it experienced a mechanical breakdown that forced the attraction to stop moving suddenly. At the time, multiple users were stranded mid-air for more than five minutes.
