Thrill-Seekers Stranded 200 Feet Up on a Ride in Storm
A video has gone viral showing thrill-seekers trapped 200 feet above the ground after a powerful storm hit Lightwater Valley theme park in North Yorkshire.
The ordeal occurred on the “Ultimate” Ride, one of Europe’s longest roller coasters, which was halted by the storm, leaving riders stranded for several hours. The incident unfolded in the early afternoon as storm clouds rapidly gathered, bringing intense winds and heavy rain.
Witnesses reported a sudden weather change and a power outage that stopped the ride at its highest point. The storm, described as “unprecedented” by local meteorologists, turned what was meant to be a fun day at the park into a tense and nerve-wracking experience for those on the ride.
