A California theme park visitor stopped a roller coaster mid-ride because they wanted to get off, and everyone else had to evacuate too

• A theme park visitor in California stopped a roller coaster because they wanted to get off.
• A Knott's Berry Farm spokesperson told Fox that everyone else on the ride had to evacuate too.

A roller coaster in California was stopped mid-operation on Friday and its riders had to be evacuated after a single passenger asked to get off the ride.

The Silver Bullet ride at Knott's Berry Farm was filmed by a passerby as it stalled on its track, FOX 11 first reported.

The ride appeared to halt when it was ascending, and just after it left the roller coaster station. No one was hurt, the outlet reported.

"On Friday, May 26 at approximately 4:15 p.m., the ride Silver Bullet stopped with guests onboard," a park spokesperson told Fox News. "A guest indicated they wanted to get off the attraction, park personnel responded immediately, and all guests onboard exited safely following standard exiting procedure. The safety and security of our guests and associates is Knott's Berry Farm's top priority."

The ride started operating again after 30 minutes, the spokesperson told the outlet.

The spokesperson did not say how the park visitor indicated that they wanted to get off the ride, nor did it say if stopping a roller coaster mid-ride is standard procedure.

The press department for Knott's Berry Farm did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment sent outside regular business hours.

Had the park guest stayed on the Silver Bullet, they'd have to face over half a mile of track filled with inversions and loops. The attraction flips guests upside down at least six times in two minutes, and climbs 146 feet before dropping 109 feet.
