Up to eight people were trapped at the top of a Gold Coast rollercoaster today for half an hour after the ride malfunctioned.
A number of people have been left stranded on a Sea World rollercoaster for half an hour this afternoon after a glitch in the system.
Up to eight people were trapped at the top of the Storm Coaster on one 'boat' carriage for about 30 minutes, said news.com.au.
A spokesman for the animal-themed park said the 'boats' at the bottom of the coaster had remained there after a mechanical fault, which prevented boats behind it from moving forward as a safety measure.
The crew kept in contact with the stranded thrill seekers for the duration of the incident before it finally returned to the bottom.
