“We went up Supergirl, and as it was underway, it started to rain and quickly got worse,” passenger Omar Hernández Medrano said, FOX Weather reported. “As we were high up, with the rain and the ride in motion, it stopped, and we were stuck at the top for 10 minutes in heavy rain.”
The attraction typically takes passengers to around 243 feet in the air at nearly 40 miles per hour, Six Flags Mexico’s website says in Spanish. The ride “offers guests breathtaking panoramic views as they spin around the park and city below them for nearly 2 minutes.”
The theme park blamed the suspension in operations on the storm and noted that other rides were similarly disrupted, ABC 7 News reported. No one was injured from the incident and people were eventually evacuated, the outlet noted. “Unfortunately, the storm intensified during the evacuation process, creating some uncomfortable moments for our visitors,” Six Flags Mexico said in a statement obtained by FOX Weather.
