ORLANDO, Fla. — Guests who got stuck on the Sky Tower at SeaWorld Orlando Monday later made it safely to the ground.
The park said in a news release that crews managed to lower the ride’s cabin Monday afternoon after it malfunctioned more than two hours earlier. The release says the cabin stopped about a quarter of the way up the pole with 50 guests and two employees aboard.
Park officials said they worked closely with Orange County **** Rescue and remained in constant communication with the guests and team members on the ride.
The 400-foot Sky Tower features a double-decker, rotating pod. Guests board it at ground level and take a leisurely ride to the top. The descent is conducted at a similar pace. It is not a drop tower.
