Trapped for Hours, Guests Rescued on SeaWorld Gondola Ride - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

"Crews rescued more than a dozen guests trapped on a SeaWorld San Diego ride for hours Monday night, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue.

Bayside Skyride is a gondola ride that crosses Mission Bay.

Rescue crews were called in at around 7:20 p.m. for the 16 people stranded on five different gondolas, said SDFD Battalion Chief Robert Logan.

SDFD said there was a big gust of wind that tripped a circuit breaker that caused the ride to stop working.

The first two guests were rescued by 9:20 p.m., SDFD said. By 10 p.m., half of the guests had been rescued. And just before 11 p.m., all of the guests had been rescued.

Crews lowered the guests via a rope system down into boats in Mission Bay that then transported them to a nearby dock, according to Logan. (visit link)
