The incident happened on Monday at the Wild Mouse ride at Idlewild &amp; SoakZone in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Monica Johnson, one of the stranded riders, described how she and her eight-year-old cousin were stuck together on the ride. \u201cI was panicking,\u201d Johnson told CBS News Pittsburgh. \u201cI just have anxiety, so I was panicking. But my little cousin, she\u2019s eight years old, she did amazing.\u201d Firefighters from the Darlington Volunteer Fire Company carried out the rescue, which took about 45 minutes. Fire Chief Kurt Rose said the operation was \u201calmost textbook\u201d thanks to extensive training with park staff. No injuries were reported. After reaching the ground, Johnson said she felt an overwhelming sense of relief. \u201cWhen we got down, and we were almost there, I was like, we made it,\u201d she told WTAE. Idlewild\u2019s parent company, Herschend Family Entertainment, said all three riders were safely evacuated. No details have been released about what caused the ride to stop. The Wild Mouse rollercoaster will remain closed while inspectors investigate the malfunction.
