Riders Trapped Mid-Air For Hours On OC Theme Park Ride; 2 Taken To Hospital

BUENA PARK, CA — Thrill seekers were stuck mid-air Monday — with two eventually taken to the hopspital — after the Sol Spin ride at Knott’s Berry Farm malfunctioned with people on board.

The ride "experienced technical difficulties" that caused it to stop mid-cycle around 2 p.m., according to the park, which said 22 people were evacuated by 4:30 p.m.

"Out of an abundance of caution, two female guests were transported to the hospital for further evaluation," according to a prepared statement from Knott's Berry Farm.

The park's website describes Sol Spin as “one for the brave.” It is over six stories high and rotates riders 360 degrees on its spinning arms.
