Members of the San Bernardino County Fire Department were called about 9:24 pm to rescue a 20-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy who were not only stuck at the top of the Sky Screamer ride, but also wet and cold, according to the Daily Press.
“They were restrained in an upright position approximately 160 feet up at its most vertical position,” County Fire officials stated. “Exposure to the elements were a factor with temperatures in the mid 50s and reports of both males being wet from a previous ride.” responded to the amusement park on Mariposa Road at approximately 9:24 p.m. after a 20-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy were reported to be stuck at the highest point of the ride.

“After approximately 45 minutes the ride was lowered in a controlled decent down to the off-loading platform at the base of the ride,” County Fire officials stated. “Both riders were removed and evaluated by on-scene paramedics.”
Here’s guessing there won’t be much of a line at Sky Screamer anytime soon.
