Visitors to Cedar Point were reportedly required to leave a roller coaster on Monday after it stopped due to a mechanical problem.
The Magnum XL-200 attraction at Sandusky, Ohio’s amusement park, had a “standard ride stoppage,” according to Tony Clark, Cedar Point’s director of communications, who spoke to Fox News Digital. The ride is 205 feet tall and has a height limit of 275 feet. In order to get off the roller coaster, riders had to descend some stairs.
According to the outlet, Clark said that the occurrence was a “check engine light” scenario and that the trip could not be started at the moment. A request for comment from USA TODAY went unanswered by Cedar Point.

The roller coaster made its debut in 1989, and according to Cedar Point’s website, “for its leading edge height,” it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. According to the theme park, the attraction debuted as the world’s fastest and steepest complete-circuit coaster.
Magnum XL-200 lasts over three minutes and has a top speed of 72 mph.
The incident occurs just after Wild Mouse, another roller coaster at Cedar Point, unexpectedly came to a stop during a ride preview in May, requiring park staff to rescue riders.
