Portland firefighters rescued dozens of people trapped upside down on a ride at Oaks Park Friday afternoon. Riders on the AtmosFEAR ride said they were stuck for around 25 to 30 minutes, but it felt like hours.
Oaks Park said 28 riders were suspended upside down when the ride stopped around 2:55 p.m. Staff immediately initiated emergency procedures and called 911.
Around 3:25 p.m., Portland Fire and Rescue (PF&R) said the ride had been manually lowered, and all the riders were evacuated and medically evaluated.
"One rider with pre-existing medical conditions was transported to the hospital for further evaluation, out of an abundance of caution," Oaks Park said.
Portland teens Daniel Allen and Jordan Harding were at Oaks Park celebrating their high school graduation. AtmosFEAR was the first ride they went on when they arrived.
