Carowinds park officials said at no time were riders in danger as crews quickly responded.
A first-person look at the roller coaster that left riders stuck at the Carowinds amusement park in North Carolina on April 29. "We go to the very top where they’re backing you up, and he was doing a countdown," Allen continued. "He goes, ‘we are very sorry, but we are having technical difficulties,’ and we thought he was joking because of the surprise element or something."
According to the park’s website, rides are inspected and licensed by the North Carolina or South Carolina Department of Labor prior to opening. At Carowinds, the safety of our associates and guests is our top priority," the website added. "Ensuring that rides are properly maintained and cared for is just one way to show this commitment."
FOX Television Stations has reached out to the labor departments for both North and South Carolina for comment.
