LARGO, MD (CBSMiami) - A rollercoaster with 20 people on board got stuck in the air at Six Flags America just outside of Washington D.C.

The Joker's Jinx stalled mid-ride on Thursday, emergency crews worked for hours to rescue the riders off the coaster.

The same ride with the same amount of people became stalled in August 2014.

This is at least the fourth time since 2014 the Joker's Jinx has broken down with people on board.
