A woman has described the 'horrendous' moment that she had to walk down from a rollercoaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach after it stopped mid-ride.
Harriet Molyneux, from Wigan, and her friend Lydia Royale were riding the Big One - the UK's tallest rollercoaster - at the theme park on Tuesday (April 11) when the carriage stopped on the lift hill. Staff had stopped the iconic ride due to a 'sudden change in weather conditions'.
Harriet said people 'screamed and cried' when the rollercoaster ground to a halt. She said passengers waited around 10 minutes before staff helped walk them down to safety.
