The Knotts Berry Farm Wind Seeker stopped working around 4 p.m. when the ride's "safety security system activated," causing it to come to a halt, park officials said. Twenty riders were stranded about 300 feet in the air near the top of the ride. By the time is was 7:30 the ride had been lowered about halfway to the ground manually. Finally 3 hours later the group of riders were able to walk off the ride. There were no injuries reported said the officials. I Personally think this would be frightening being that high off the ground for that amount of time. What do you think?Read more about it here

That would be horrid. I would be so freaked out, i would probley passout from getting so worked up. Just shows anything can happen, so live life to the fullest. Thank goodness no one got hurt. I think i would be scard for life and would not be able to ride rides anymore. I feel bad for those risers. Three hours in the air, just waiting not knowing what is going to happen next!
i hate roller coasters personally, so this would really freak me out. Also, if i was 300 feet in the air, it wouldn't be good. Its not that I'm scared of all heights just extreme heights like being 300 feet in the air. I feel so sorry for these people and I'm glad there weren't any injuries.
I saw this on the news! All I could think of was, what if you had to go to the bathroom? I would definitely be scared and mad. I am very happy that no one was hurt.
OMG! That would be so frightening! Imagine if you had to go to the bathroom or were afraid of heights and finally got enough corage to go on the ride! Yikes I would hate that!
You can always think that this could have been a lot worse than what it was. If I was on the ride when it stopped I would probably get my ipod out and play games to pass the time.
I think that being up there wouldn't be too bad for a few minutes, but if minutes turned to hours, I would be a little scared. When I got down from there, I would not want to go back on a ride like that for a long time.
At first i think it would be kinda scary. But then after a while I would just sit back and relax and look out. You would have a really good spot to see everything. But then it would get boring after a while too.
That would be scarey. but atleast the ride didn't stop when the people who were riding it were unside down.
Oh my gosh! If I was on this ride for more than three hours I would be afraid of heights for the rest of my life! I would eventually get so bored probably that I would try to sleep or do something that would help me take my mind off of being stuck... I did once get stuck on a rollercoaster at Adventureland and it wasn't that scary. But I was not that high up in the air. Hopefully there wasn't very many little kids on that ride because they are probably scarred for life!!
I would be scared to death to be suspended in the air for 3 hours. You would think that after the second time, they would realize that something was wrong. Luckily for them, they got down and no one was hurt. I am not a huge fan of amusement parks, some rides, I will go on...but others I choose not to.
