According to local media reports, the ride was halted around 4:45 p.m. local time after the emergency system was triggered by a motor-regulating device on the tracks. Passengers riding on the Jurassic Park-themed coaster were then left dangling some 100 feet above the ground on the track. (Yikes!)
Overall, it took a more than two hours before everyone was safely evacuated. No injuries were reported.
Strangely enough, despite the incident, people still decided to board the ride once operations resumed shortly after 7 p.m. local time, Japan Times reported.
According to Kyodo News, the ride, which launched in March 2016, peaks at 121 feet above ground.
