The ride malfunctioned during its 360-degree cycle, leaving passengers suspended about 100 feet in the air for 25 minutes. A jury awarded the girls, both now 16, $275,000 each Wednesday after they sued the park and ride manufacturer Zamperla for $2 million. \u201cJust the highest terror I ever felt,\u201d Yannotta testified. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like it ever in my life,\u201d Gomez-Salais told jurors, saying she feared dying in front of her friends below. \u201cI didn\u2019t want people to see me die,\u201d she said.
