Crews had to free stranded riders after power outage at Universal Studios

Crews with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to reports of a power outage at Universal Studios, which stranded some people on one of the rides. 

The incident occurred just before 4 p.m. 

According to authorities, the theme park's Transformers ride was affected by the outage, stranding 11 riders, all of whom were eventually rescued. 

"As a result of a power interruption from So Cal Edison, we experienced a brief power dip which resulted in exiting guests from some attractions. Power has been fully restored and we're working to get a few remaining attractions back online. The theme park remains open," said a Universal Studios Hollywood spokesperson
