A malfunctioning “tilt” roller coaster left two riders stranded over 100 feet above a Texas amusement park at a 90-degree angle for almost an hour before emergency responders freed them, according to reports. Matthew Cantu, 24, and Nicholas Sanchez, 20, were riding the thrill attraction, dubbed “Circuit Breakers,” at Austin’s Circuit of the America’s sports complex when it climbed 130-feet and suddenly stalled at the first drop, leaving them staring straight down at the ground Wednesday night, their publicist told KXAN. “For more than 30 minutes after the ride stopped, family members reported receiving no clear updates, while witnesses said staff provided conflicting explanations, including comments that the riders ‘weren’t strapped in correctly,” the riders’ spokesperson told the outlet via email.
