Over a dozen customers visiting Six Flags Fiesta Texas over the Memorial Day weekend got stuck on a roller coaster when the ride shut down, forcing first responders to help get them down.

The park confirmed the incident in a statement, saying their Poltergeist roller coaster “stopped in the middle of a ride cycle,” but there have been no reports of injuries. The riders were stuck in an upright position, but the Poltergeist coaster includes multiple loops where the ride could have also stopped upside-down. 

Multiple fire and rescue crews were called to the scene to assist park employees in trying to get the 20 riders down.
