Riders were stranded on a Six Flags Magic Mountain rollercoaster after it broke down on Sunday evening and were escorted off by personnel, according to media reports.  

Amusement park guests became stuck on the “Viper” rollercoaster at approximately 7 p.m. after the ride broke down, according to KTLA 5.   

“The Viper ride stopped temporarily, and all guests were safely escorted off,” said Alexandria French, marketing manager for Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor LA, in an email to The Signal.  

The ride came to a halt on a “flat portion of the tracks,” according to the KTLA 5 report.  

The Los Angeles County Fire Department and Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station did not respond to the incident.  

The Viper was back in operation as of Monday afternoon, added French in the email. She did not provide any additional information on how the coaster malfunctioned.
