Seven thrill-seekers were left stranded 100ft in the air after a rollercoaster broke down.

Six adults and one child were left trapped in the air for around half an hour.

The ride was going up a steep incline when it stopped, leaving the riders in a near vertical position.

The rollercoaster, named Krater, stopped working at the Parque del Café, in Montenegro, west of Bogota, Colombia, on 3 January.

Other park customers captured the moment the thrill-seekers were rescued by the emergency services using a service lift.

One video shows two rescuers standing at the top of the ride, apparently comforting the seven strapped-in passengers.

Meanwhile, two other emergency workers are seen ascending the ride on the service lift to assist with the rescue operation.

After around 30 minutes, the group made it safely back to terra firma without injury.

Following the incident, a park spokesperson reiterated their commitment to public safety and praised the actions of the emergency workers who took part in the rescue.

One local said: “Something always happens to that attraction.”

Another added: “Fortunately everything was resolved and turned out well.”

Sebastian said: “That must be horrible.”

Juliana remarked: “I would die.”

Larry commented: “I have a friend in the park right now and I recommended that rollercoaster to her. Right now she isn’t talking to me.”

The Krater rollercoaster, the park’s main attraction, opened in 2015.

The ride was opened to celebrate the park’s 30th anniversary.

The rollercoaster has several 360 and 180 degree turns and can reach speeds of up to 53mph.
