Fifteen passengers were left stranded mid-ride on a roller coaster at Universal Studios Singapore after the attraction came to a stop due to a technical malfunction on Thursday (July 16).<\/p>\n
A video shared on Xiaohongshu shows passengers waiting on the ride, which is at a 45-degree incline, while two persons appear to be attending to the stalled ride.<\/p>\n
Under the comments section of the Xiaohongshu post, some netizens claimed that other attractions had also experienced breakdowns that day, while others called for compensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“When I was there, the Minions roller coaster had a series of breakdowns, and it took all day to complete just four rides,” added another. \u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to media queries, a spokesperson for Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) said the Enchanted Airways roller coaster ride experienced a brief technical malfunction at about 1pm on Thursday and stopped at a safe location on the track.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson said that staff quickly assisted all 15 passengers in evacuating safely, and no one was injured.<\/p>\n
“The safety of our visitors is always our top priority. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank our visitors for their patience and understanding,” they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
RWS added that the ride resumed normal operations after a full safety check was completed. \u00a0<\/p>\n
