Six Flags Over Georgia Riders Left Dangling Midair After Technical Delay on Thrill Ride - Internewscast Journal describes an incident in which riders were left suspended well above the ground after a problem with a thrill ride. A passenger recorded video that circulated online, showing riders halted high in the air while one person asked why they were stuck. WSB-TV identified the filmer as David Early and reported that he rode the SkyScreamer again two days after the incident. Six Flags Over Georgia said the stoppage was caused by a “technical delay.” The company said its safety system functioned as intended, keeping guests safe, and that after a complete systems check the ride returned to its loading position for riders to exit. The delay lasted about 10 minutes. The attraction is described on Six Flags Over Georgia’s website as an amusement park swing ride that lifts riders 260 feet.
