Thrill seekers on the UK's biggest rollercoaster were forced to climb down the launch hill after the coaster broke down in high winds.
The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach ground to a halt on April 11 at around 2.50pm when weather conditions suddenly changed. The Mirror reports that guests were guided to safety by staff and the ride was closed for the rest of the day amid gusty conditions.
A photo taken by an eyewitness and shared on social media shows riders tentatively making their way back down the slope of the rollercoaster, which is 235ft high at its tallest point. Operators later confirmed they had halted the ride for safety reasons.
