Thrill seekers were evacuated from a rollercoaster at Rainbow's End yesterday due to an
electrical fault.
About 15 passengers were escorted off the popular Corkscrew after it came to a sudden halt on its way to the highest point of the ride.
Rainbow's End chief executive Chris Deere said the rollercoaster was designed to stop if there was a fault.
"It stopped as it is supposed to do which means the safety mechanisms are working," Deer said. "It's like a warning light on a car."
He said passengers were evacuated through a stairwell while an electrician repaired the fault. The ride was out of action for about 20 minutes, he said.
