BREAKING: Firefighters rescue dozen trapped on Movie World roller coaster

The ride had only just passed safety inspections.

Firefighters have successfully rescued passengers trapped in a stalled car on the Arkham Asylum roller coaster at the Gold Coast’s Movie World theme park. 

 

Despite receiving an all-clear from Worksafe Queensland last month, Movie World’s Arkham Asylum roller coaster stopped mid-ride – trapping roughly a dozen guests.

 

Emergency services used a lift platform to rescue the passengers, there were no reports of injuries however the trapped were required to wait in 30+ degree heat.

 

The incident comes only months after a crash on Dreamworld’s Thunder River Rapids ride killed four tourists.
