Dozens of people were rescued from a ride at Orlando’s ICON Park<\/a> Saturday evening after a power failure, Orange County Fire Rescue reported.<\/p>\n

The department said crews responded to reports of a power failure at the Orlando Wheel around 6:20 p.m. There were 20 occupied pods on the Ferris wheel when it lost power, trapping 62 people on the ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pictures and videos on social media showed a small fire at the base of the ride, which is what caused it to malfunction and lose power.<\/p>\n

Orange County Fire Rescue<\/a> Public Information Officer\u00a0Ashley Gipson said over 80 firefighters responded to the park. In order to rescue the riders, they had to manually maneuver the wheel to reach each pod.<\/p>\n

At 10:43 p.m., OCFR confirmed on Twitter all pods were clear, and all 62 riders were safe. There were no injuries reported or hospital transports required, Gipson said.<\/p>\n

All the department’s rescue climbers on duty responded to the theme park to assist with the evacuations. Additional off-duty climbers also showed up at the park, Orange County Fire Rescue said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

According to the theme park’s website, the Orlando Wheel<\/a> is 400-feet tall, and it takes 18 minutes to complete the ride. It opened in 2015 after three years of construction.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox 35 Orlando,<\/a> ICON Park confirmed the Wheel lost power and park officials were working with first responders to evacuate the riders.<\/p>\n

In March 2022, ICON Park experienced tragedy when 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando Freefall, a drop tower ride at the park. Sampson was visiting the city on spring break with another family from St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n

The ride was closed immediately after Sampson’s death and was permanently shut down in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
