Amusement park guests left 75 feet upside down for nearly 30 minutes on 'Lumberjack' ride
Guests at Canada's Wonderland amusement park on Saturday were left upside down on a ride for almost 30 minutes, according to a park spokesperson.
Guests at Canada's Wonderland amusement park founded themselves stranded upside down on a ride for nearly 30 minutes this past weekend.
Numerous amusement park guests were riding the "Lumberjack" when park officials said it became "inverted" at 10:40 p.m. local time on Saturday.
A spokesperson for Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, told Fox News Digital that the ride's passengers were safely unloaded by 11:05 p.m.
"Guests were unloaded safely and assessed by First Aid staff before being released back into the park," the spokesperson said in a statement. "The safety of our guests is always our first priority."

The spokesperson said two guests reported chest pain and were evaluated before being released without further medical attention.
Spencer Parkhouse, 11, was on the ride and told CBC News he wondered if the ride would ever go back down.
"[I was] just like feeling – when are we going to drop down? Are we ever going to drop down?" Parkhouse said.
However, the boy said the ride didn't stop even after the issue was resolved.
"The ride had to still finish. So, the ride kept going, and we're all like, 'No, please, I don't want to get stuck again,'" he said.
According to the report, it was Parkhouse's first chance to be on a "big ride" at the amusement park and that he walked off, traumatized. He said one person vomited while they were upside down.
His sister, Mackenzie Parkhouse, said she might rethink going on some rides when visiting the amusement park again.
"I'm just thinking, like next time I go to Canada's Wonderland, am I going to go on these big rides? Because now I'm scared to go on them," Mackenzie said.
