BB1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Didn't this happen at another park over the summer?A few summers ago, on a WindSeeker at Knott's Berry Farm. Riders were stuck at the top for a while, it was also the same incident that led to the new yellow evac systems for various WindSeeker installations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGAm Shock Wave Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 To call what happened on SeaWorld's Sky Tower Monday an evacuation is misleading. They were up there a long time, but they got the cabin back down before unloading. An evac, by my definition anyway would involve exiting the cabin when it is still off the ground (like what happened when I was on Sky Trek Tower at Six Flags Great America last June).Though looking closer, I see that this topic was likely posted during the event, and that basket certainly had me thinking an evac was coming.

Cdeq Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 People got stuck on the SkyTower in San Diego. Pretty sure that time they were able to bring them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
