Fairgoers were left dangling over a deadly drop after bad weather caused the ride they were on to stop.
A gut-knotting clip shows how the thrill-seekers were left trapped about 200 feet high in the air with rain, fog and wind swirling around.
The bad weather that descended on the theme park prompted bosses to shut down the rides while people were still on them.

The clip was filmed on Wednesday (21 Aug) afternoon by one of the unlucky souls on the Star Flyer-type attraction after it was halted mid-ride.
The voice-over says: “It started raining and we got stuck up on the Supergirl ride. I couldn’t tell if I was trembling from fear.”
It’s not clear how long the visitors were left trapped in the sky at the Six Flags theme park in Mexico City.
Local media said a slow descent was eventually initiated so everyone on the ride’s 32 chairs could get off safely.
It was then kept out of service until the rain passed.

Thunderstorms were recorded in the Mexican capital on Wednesday, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The ride in question is the Supergirl Sky Flight, which spins at 40 mph and is described by Six Flags as “merciless”.
The theme park writes: “You’re sitting in a swing chair, dangling loose 20 stories up, getting hurled around in a 98 ft circle — talk about airtime.”

One social media user reportedly commented: “That ride terrifies me. I feel like the safety chain is just a thin thread.”
Jam Press has contacted Six Flags for comment.
