PASSENGER CALLS OUT PORTLAND AMUSEMENT PARK AFTER GETTING STUCK ON RIDE UPSIDE DOWN 

Twenty-eight passengers were stuck suspended in mid-air for nearly 30 minutes after a malfunction on the AtmosFEAR ride at the Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon, on Friday, June 14.

The ride stopped at approximately 2:55pm that afternoon, and emergency responders arrived at 3:20pm. 

Maintenance showed up soon after and managed to get passengers down safely. The park was evacuated and closed for the rest of the day.

TikTok user Evie (@evie_s_y) posted a video of the incident, with overlay text stating that she was one of the 28 passengers on the ride at the time of the malfunction. “Multiple people threw up, we all still have a headache and are very sore,” she wrote.

“I had to poke my arm out to lift my head up so blood wouldn’t rush to my head,” she wrote in a text overlay while sharing photos of the incident. “I was on the ride with 10 of my friends who thought we were going to die.”

Evie also claimed that the park only refunded the ride’s passengers $50, which was given to all park attendees at the time. Evie went on to say that both her and her friends’ families are considering suing. 

Many commenters echoed this sentiment. “Tbh sue only $50 is crazy,” one commenter urged.
