Ferris wheel stops mid-air, causing carriages to flip frantically
#fox10phoenix #viral #florida
A ride designed to use momentum to keep riders in their seats without restraints suddenly shut down at the Florida State Fair in Tampa.
Dubbed the “Enterprise,” those at the Tampa fair were recording when the ride stalled. One fairgoer told Storyful people were getting sick, and the staff stopped the ride.
“Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God,” one woman was heard saying.
Riders were traveling upside down as the Enterprise wheel spun slowly, and some carriages quickly flipped over.
“Ya’ll need to stop this. This is traumatizing. Ya’ll need to do a better job.”
A Facebook user said she was on the ride when it stopped, causing her to hang “midair upside down,” with no seat belts, and had to hang on to the bars in the carriage until they were rescued.
