Passengers of the Lumberjack at Canada’s Wonderland were left hanging on the ride for almost 30 minutes Saturday night.

At about 10:40 p.m. on Sept. 23, the ride became inverted with patrons onboard having their feet dangling in the air until the maintenance team brought them down by 11:05 p.m.

Two guests reported chest pain and were attended to at the park’s health centre before being released without need for further medical attention, said Grace Peacock, director of communications for Canada’s Wonderland.

She added that patrons “were unloaded safely and assessed by First Aid staff” before being released back into the park.

“The ride is closed today for further inspection. The safety of our guests is always our first priority,” Peacock told York Region news.
