Dozens of people have been left stuck on a rollercoaster 50ft in the air for more than three hours.
Nearly 30 riders have been left trapped on the Wipeout rollercoaster at Pleasurewood Hills in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
The incident happened just before 1.30pm on Aug. 31 and has seen the thrill-seekers left stranded nearly 50ft (15 metres) in the air.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue service said 27 people have been left suspended in the air for several hours and crews from three stations are on scene.
A spokesman said: "The carriages, which came to a stop on the track, are approximately 15 metres in the air, but not upside down.
"Crews will be using advanced rescue at height equipment to bring down the ride passengers."
The surfing-themed ride opened at Pleasurewood Hills in 2007.
It is the only Vekoma Boomerang in the country - a type of rollercoaster that shoots down a lift hill before hurtling through a cobra roll and a vertical loop.
Pleasurewood Hills has been contacted for comment.
