Big One was the tallest and the steepest roller coaster in the world when it opened in 1994.
In a nightmarish incident, riders were left stranded at the top of the Big One ride in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, UK, after it seemingly malfunctioned on its climb up. According to DailyStar, the incident took place on Sunday afternoon. Thrillseekers explained that the carriage of the rollercoaster came to stop towards the top of the 235-feet ride.
It is to mention that Big One was the tallest and the steepest roller coaster in the world when it opened in 1994. It can be seen from across the Fylde coast due to its height and prominence on Blackpool's skyline.
According to DailyStar, the apparent malfunction over the weekend left riders on the iconic rollercoaster stranded at the very top of its terrifying steep drop. Riders reportedly said that after the ride stopped mid-way, people started walking up the coaster using the stairs at the side to get access to the carriage. No one was injured during the incident.
