as one of the people affected by this it was absolutely horrifying. when it got stuck nobody seemed to realize for about 3 minutes which was so damn scarry. the last 10 or so minutes everyone was shouting in agony as others has blood vessels in their face burst and make red dots. i REALLY hope the ride gets help and gets better maintenence.
I am 61, and crazy enough to go on rides like this. I am so so sorry for you! I cannot imagine what would have happened to me if I were to do a ride like that again. Do you happen to know if this was like a ride called the Screaming Eagle? I ask because I am local and been to Oaks Park many, many times. This ride looks like that one. It would have been there a few years back.
Is this like the slowest fire department on the entire planet 20 minutes seriously I've never heard of anybody moving that slow. I mean, they could've push the firetruck faster than that.
Not the first safety issue Oaks Park has had. 18 years ago, an attendant did not put the restraints over my son and I on a roller coaster. We did the ride in terror as they couldn't fix it. I was badly bruised and my son would've been thrown out of his seat if I wasn't holding onto him. The park was dismissive about it afterward. No one seemed to care. They finally paid me $1,000 after the state got involved. I could have gone to the media.
Because it's soooooo common 😂.. it's extremely rare for something like this to happen, although it is a possibility and sometimes it does happen but these amusement parks go year after year after year after year without any problems.. they all have to be inspected by the state before they can even put these rides in operation

as an affected person on the ride nobody was near death but several passed out. it likely takes much longer to cause major damage but the pain in my legs and eventually testicles (not a joke) was excruciating.
At 1:00, the reporter says they were suspended “head over heels”, when in fact you see them at that moment with heels over head. I am now realizing that the phrase “head over heels” makes no sense. Our heads are always over are heels. Why do we say that to describe being upside down?
I wasnt on the ride, but i was there that day with my class. It was scary enough watching from the ground on a nearby picnic bench, i couldnt imagine how scary it was for the people stuck up there, and im so glad that they were able to get all of the people down safely
What I don't get is that if fire crews could "manually move the ride down in seconds after arriving", then why aren't the ride operators trained to do that? Does the park consider using proper emergency protocols to be a potential financial risk to them? I mean, some of the families of the riders are probably going to sue them for negligence over that. I know I would, as personal injury cases, especially unusually horrifying ones, get people hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in compensation. Hopefully you guys recover soon. Just thinking about that is terrifying.
This is the second time the ride broke. I was at the park last year and they shut down the ride shortly after opening due to mechanical problems. I cant believe it broke down a second time and it wouldve been so terrifying to be stuck on it.
You'd think Places like oaks park are safer than those traveling parking lot carnivals, but the truth is oaks park only has to get inspected every 6 months, as opposed to the traveling carnivals that have to have a safety inspector take a look every week when they move spots. Every time a ride is setup it needs a safety inspection. Rides that don't get moved and setup elsewhere only get checked every 6 months. These places are not safe.
2:15 they got it to swing down, somehow. This is the 3rd video I’ve seen on this. Amazingly no one has video of it coming down. News were too focused on interviews than collecting and reporting simple details, I guess.
Let me get this straight so firemen sit at the fire station all day. They get an emergency call and it takes them 20 minutes to get to the theme park unbelievable.
This ride should have a system that keeps it from getting stuck upside down. How hard would that be? The ride manufacturer is Zamperla, a company known for ride problems. This is the company that turned Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster into Top Thrill 2, which was only open for a week or so, and is now in extended closure as modifications are made.
It is actually a nice medium sized park along the Willamette river and has everything, including a concert stage and GOOD concerts, picnic tables and a Historical skating rink with an old school Pipe Organ that still plays. I'm 61, have gone there my entire life, no problems. Except occasional nausea from too many rides!!
I’ve been there like 4 times for my birthdays and it’s perfectly fine, I’ve been on that ride before to like 7 times, and I really don’t want the park to be shut down because of this
Yes, it’s like berserker at kings dominion where it rotates 360 degrees then back down in a full circle twice or something before losing steam and then the swings become less and less until the ride is over
I have not been to a Amusement Park since the last century. If I ever go again, I'll stick to the kids rides. Something safe like the teacup rides at Disneyland.
Thankfully I'm only into roller coasters even though they can have their moments too. It's that hanging upside down that would terrify me plus the initial shock of what exactly has happened here.

Glad you're okay! Thanks for sharing your firsthand experience. Horrifying!
Oh my god, I'm glad you're all okay. I would not have handled that well. A whole half an hour? Jesus😮
I would have fainted.
It would in the PARKS better jugdement to tear it down !

That sounds like Oregon to me. Everyone is high and taking their damn time.

Why would you stay on the ride if they didn't put the restraints over you? You would have had time to say something, no?
If the media would have been involved this might have not happened
"Refund!" WTF! They should sue. Maintenance didn't do their jobs.
Lmao ok
That’s why I never do these rides!!!!

Yes like skydiving and becoming an Astronaut people love trying to get themselves killed.
"Roughly 30 people". Why don't they have the facts? It was 28 people. Not too tough. Smh!
ALMOST 30 minutes lol
Exactly was it 30 or 28? What happened to the two they aren’t claiming
All those people almost die. Being upside down for that long will kill you.......

@@maccusmc this reply is definitely rage bait🤣 “erm actually!☝️🤓” but thanks for the good laugh, really made my day!
omg my school planned to go there that exact day, we went to bowinkles instead because that school had taken the spot, thank god

The ride stop for safety. Uncomfortable yes, but no deaths.
It took emergency services TWENTY MINUTES to respond? That’s crazy
rebirth for 28 people
It's like winning a lottery, you don't believe it until you get it.

Well done fire fighters.bless you all.
The thin line between fun and tragedy.

How is there a 20 minute response time? How far away is the fire dept?
0:10 Gravity not doing its part. What goes up must come down but why?
I would definitely have the fear of hights after that.
Fire crews arrived 20 minutes after they were called!?!?!? Did I hear that correctly!?!?
No mr news caster, the passengers were not head over heels. They were heels over head.
How did they actually get rescued? They've said it was a "ropes team" of the fire department but I'm not clear how they got them down.
The fire men caught then in a Net made them jump off the ride 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m sorry this happened 🤦🏾♂️
My school had a field trip here and this was the same day they went
I would be vomiting upside down.
Why didn't they restart the damn ride sooner?
All them should be able to sue the pants off them
🙏
The ones saying they won't look at rides again weren't even on the ride lmao
How many in the lodge
Are these new trailer from final destination ?
They were trouper’s to keep talking to each other and keeping each other calm 😌 ❤
Glad everyone is safe
That give me creeps
Imagine being the person who got cut off being so disappointed being cut off 1 person short then realises you could have died
20 mins for rescue to arrive 😮
Looks to me like a sketchy small amusement park, kinda like the ones that come to town for the summer then leave.......
its been operating for about 100 years with pretty much no incident. being on the ride when this happened was terrifying!
It is actually a nice medium sized park along the Willamette river and has everything, including a concert stage and GOOD concerts, picnic tables and a Historical skating rink with an old school Pipe Organ that still plays.

Ride should be half price now
how did they get them down ?
My son got his $5 refund and a Popcorn discount😊😊
This ks still my favorite place and favorite ride
new fear unlocked. Never going in rides like this ever.
Head under heels.
Was it supposed to go upside down?
Yes, it’s like berserker at kings dominion where it rotates 360 degrees then back down in a full circle twice or something before losing steam and then the swings become less and less until the ride is over
I have not been to a Amusement Park since the last century. If I ever go again, I'll stick to the kids rides. Something safe like the teacup rides at Disneyland.
Thinking they would faint defies science
Fight or flight?
How could you fight or flight that?
I would've been terrified 😱😱😱
Bummer we didn't get footage of how the riders were rescued. I imagine it was unpleasant if the pendulum suddenly swung downward.
that young couple is so sweet, i’m glad they were able to smile afterwords
Oaks Park been open since 1905 what do you expect?
Thankfully I'm only into roller coasters even though they can have their moments too. It's that hanging upside down that would terrify me plus the initial shock of what exactly has happened here.
The atmospher ride like 🙄😳oops
Is that like ride called delirium at kings island
I thought being stuck on magnum was bad jesus I think I’d die up there after ten mins lol
Could have been worse. Imagine the seat belts released?
That would have been my fear
Fight or flight? Don't think flight an option
Lots of loose change, wallets, purses, cellphones and turds on the ground.
new fear unlocked
“ We saw people shoes like came off” hahaha
You couldn’t pay me to get on any of these rides!!
Head over heels?
Chris Hardwick
Im not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who got stuck. But that first reporter Jeffrey; it looks like his ride was stuck for 3 weeks😂
Sad y’all got get it together
Omg is Jeffery getting out on bail? Sobering up? Wth
Atmosfear já era kkkk Sad folks got hurt, but this park got the worst blow
I wouldn't go on that thing if you paid me a million dollars it still wouldn't be worth it
They should call the ride the Poseidon Adventure.
I dont blame them
They were searching for thrill… Now they got it.
I saw this on snap
Final destination
i was litterally ther 2 days before that
I thought they said the day it got stuck was opening day ?
Where they really scared dont sound like it
Idk how people even ride these shits. Y’all just don’t care about living.
Arby's we have the meats
Refund ? lol.
A mechanical error I would call this incident. these rides can fail while you're riding, but you'll be alright.
Yikes
That’s not trauma related
Oaks sucks I wouldn't go their if you paid me, no big coasters. You need a real amusement park
Please tell your reporters to dress more professional than this guy. Like what happened to looking professional. And that hair as well
The beginning of the END, for that park !
MAY BE HACKED........FACTS
And as usual I'm sure they won't be compensated either 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Lawsuiiiiiiiiit
360
Earning it's name 😂
She a baddie
I don’t care about the plat form let me jump!
Newsome did the same to California economy, vote him out.
Mark Wahlberg for Fox....
🤣 people over react to issues like this
This is what you get for trusting an Oregon amusement park. Mine as well ride a roller coaster in Compton
MAGA
In Oregon this is all normal. 🤷🏼♂️
