What was supposed to be a night of family fun turns scary as several people are trapped on a carnival ride for a while.
It happened earlier this evening at around seven when a ride called "El Chango" got stuck due to problems with the engine.
Guests traveling at a high rate of speed while hanging... suspended from a reinforced harness..were caught in mid-air at the WBCA carnival, which opened just last night.
Rescue crews were on the scene for at least an hour and worked to bring all riders down safely.
"They conducted a rescue operation and one by one they were removing each and every one of the riders fortunately there were no injuries. They were up there for a little while, of course they were cold..a little scared obviously, but fortunately no injuries and no transports. After being evaluated they were sent on their way."
Although riders were stuck on this ride for a while, it didn't seem to stop others from enjoying the activities at the carnival.
