At the time temperatures at the theme park had exceeded 30C and the breakdown happened just before the thrillseekers reached a drop on the attraction - this can, at times, reach a top speed of 85km/h.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 11 January 2017.
In this case, all trapped persons were rescued safely - four of them were lowered from the ride in a cherrypicker and the others via a ladder platform.
Warner Bros Movie World has attributed the blame of the stoppage to a "a mechanical issue with the chain" of the rollercoaster. It may be noted that in November, the ride was cleared after a safety audit of Warner Bros Movie World which had been ordered by Queensland government in the aftermath of the fatal accident on the Thunder River Rapids ride at Dreamland - this is less than four miles from Warner Bros Movie World.
