Six Flags Riders Get Stuck On Chilly Sunday Night

JACKSON, NJ — Ever ridden the SkyScreamer at Six Flags Great Adventure?

The ride got stuck this past Sunday evening, Nov. 11, a park spokesperson confirmed to the Asbury Park Press, trapping riders 242 feet off the ground for about nine minutes Sunday night.

One of the safety sensors on the SkyScreamer accidentally triggered the ride’s emergency stop, said park spokeswoman Kristin Fitzgerald. Riders were stuck on the swinging chairs high above the ground while temps were in the low 40s.

However, the SkyScreamer then safely returned to its home position and all the riders were able to exit safely, she said.
