Firefighters used ropes and took about two hours to rescue a stranded rider after an observation tower at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park apparently malfunctioned in mid-air on Monday.
Another 40 people and a staff member who had been briefly stranded in the Ocean Park Tower about 70 metres above ground made it down on their own.
The theme park said the tower – part of the landmark tourist attraction in Hong Kong’s Southern district – experienced a fault signal at 2.21pm while carrying 42 people in its revolving deck.
