Six Flags Great America roller coaster riders forced to climb down track after ride stalls
Riders were forced to climb down a roller coaster that had stalled at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, on Tuesday.
Videos posted on social media showed riders trekking down a steep drop on the Wrath of Rakshasa 180-foot track. The riders appeared to be wearing harnesses as they went down the incline.
A Six Flags spokesperson confirmed that the ride "experienced a delay that paused the ride's operation," and that it could not be restarted.
Officials said the guests were "safely escorted off the ride."
The ride reopened on Tuesday night after a systems check.
