The amusement park said the Flying Dinosaur roller coaster’s two carriages stalled midway through the 1,099-yard (1,100-metre) ride on Tuesday, with riders suspended in a flying position about 30 metres (100 feet) above the ground.

The Osaka theme park is especially packed this time of year due to Japan’s “Golden Week,” a string of holidays which many get off work to celebrate. According to local media reports, the ride was halted around 4:45 p.m. local time after the emergency system was triggered by a motor-regulating device on the tracks. The ride resumed operation after repairs and safety checks – and despite the accident, visitors to the park eagerly got back into queues as soon as it was reopened at 7pm.
