Roller Coaster Malfunction Traps Riders 200 Feet in the Air.

 Amusement park attendees in Sandusky, Ohio, went on a ride they’ll likely never forget. As scores of families flocked to Cedar Point amusement park for some summer fun, one group got much more than they bargained for when the Magnum XL-200 roller coaster malfunctioned and got stuck more than 200 feet in the air, according to CBS News. Video that circulated on social media showed what appears to be riders being forced to evacuate the ride and walk down a steep set of stairs attached to the attraction to make it back to the ground.  According to the theme park’s official website, the ride is featured as a Guinness World Record holder for “its leading edge height" which it says "is enough to amaze anybody.” When the ride was first introduced in 1989, it made history as the fastest and steepest complete-circuit coaster in the world.  Ohio’s Cedar Point isn’t the only park to face a recent malfunction that trapped riders.

The reports that Nweze (65), who hails from Enugu State, was the judge who delivered a controversial judgement of the apex court affirming former Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, as the All Progressives Congress senatorial candidate for Yobe North.
