CONWAY, Ark. (AP) Authorities say all passengers were safely rescued after a Ferris wheel malfunctioned in downtown Conway.
According to the Log Cabin Democrat, passengers who were on the ride Saturday night reported hearing a loud pop and felt their gondolas sway. Passengers were stuck on the ride for about an hour before they were safely brought to the ground.
The newspaper reports that a pivot pin holding one of the Ferris wheel’s cylinders in place broke.
The Ferris wheel is among several attractions on display in downtown Conway during the holiday season.
