12 people rescued from amusement park ride after being stuck 30 ft. in the air
The Time Winder ride malfunctioned due to a power issue, stranding 12 riders about 30 feet high; Salem Fire Department safely rescued all with no injuries.
- Salem Fire Department crews removed twelve guests from the Time Winder at Canobie Lake Park on Sunday, Oct. 25, safely bringing everyone down with the park maintenance team.
- The park spokesperson said the Time Winder `experienced a power issue`, and the Canobie Lake Park spokesperson said the two incidents were `completely separate issues` after the October 17 stoppage.
- The park's website describes the Time Winder as a `dynamic family ride` with four rotating arms and eight gondolas per arm for up to 32 passengers, requiring supervision for riders between 42 and 48 inches.
- The park said the Time Winder is closed until further notice while the State Fire Marshal's Office and inspectors work with park management to determine causes and assess safety.
- Both incidents occurred during the park's `Screeemfest` Halloween events, and Battalion Chief Corey Ward said it was his first such call in 18 years, with Salem fire crews using a tower ladder while the park supplied a lift.
