"Goliath was late to open and before it opened they were doing a few
checks at the highest point of the ride, "Staff were strolling here and
there. "Later on, at around 11am, the ride opened up whilst I was lining
for another ride. "The following thing I saw, Colossus was stuck at the
highest point of the lift with individuals stranded up there and it was in the
downpour also. "At that point it took around 90 minutes until they were
emptied. There were around 20 individuals in the carriage.
"They
were perched on the ride for 60 minutes and a half in the downpour, "Giant
is around 100ft high and it was just about at the top, so I would say they were
75ft off the ground. "The staff were there peopling off, They appeared to
be genuinely quiet. "In the long run they got the general population down
the stairs and everybody got off."It was quite a while, He included that
the ride revived at around 2pm. Park representatives said nobody was harmed.

Colossus ride achieves a stature of a 98ft and achieves paces of up to 45mph.
