Dude, this is some gnarly stuff right here. Fun little day at Six Flags Mexico, these peeps hop on the Supergirl ride with those dangling swings, and then a storm rolls in while they're 243 feet in the air.
[A] group of riders at Six Flags Mexico experienced terrifying moments when they became stuck nearly 250 feet above the ground during a storm. The incident occurred last Sunday, leaving people on the Supergirl Sky Flight dangling in the air for about 10 minutes …
They reported, 'We went up on Supergirl, and as it was underway, it started to rain, and quickly got worse. As we were high up, with the rain and the ride in motion, it stopped, and we were stuck at the top for ten minutes in heavy rain.' Unfortunately, the storm intensified during the evacuation process, creating uncomfortable moments for the visitors. However, park staff attended to everyone, and no incidents were reported. The Sky Screamer resumed normal operations shortly after, according to Six Flags Mexico.
Scary stuff, though it seems from the video that the storm wasn't carrying any lightning. Huge stroke of luck for the riders there!
Several rides at Six Flags Mexico went down with the storm, but they were all back in operation later in the day.
Some of the riders, I'm sure, had plans to visit Six Flags Mexico's nearby waterpark, but it seems they already got the experience at the rollercoaster park!
