People at an Ohio amusement park were forced to climb down from the top of a 200-foot-tall roller coaster after it broke down halfway through the ride

• Passengers had to disembark from the top of a roller coaster after it broke down half way.
• "My legs are still sore from the walk down the stairs," a passenger told television station WTVG.

Passengers were forced to climb down from the top of an Ohio amusement park's roller coaster on Monday after it broke down midway through the ride.

"As it was going up, everything was normal until about the top, it just stopped," park visitor Tony Cafego, who recorded a video of the incident, told Ohio television station WTVG.

Cafego told WTVG that the passengers were left stranded on the Cedar Point amusement park's Magnum XL-200 roller coaster for around 25 minutes before staff evacuated them.

Cafego's photographs and video of the incident showed the stalled roller coaster halted at a steep incline, and passengers being guided down the staircase by Cedar Point staff. According to Cedar Point's website, the ride has a height of 205 feet.

"The hardest part was trying to get out of your seat because you are at such an angle," said Cafego's wife, Laina, who was on the ride with her son.

"My legs are still sore from the walk down the stairs. It's because you truly are, really making sure that every step you're hitting it," Laina Cafego told WTVG.

Cedar Point communications director Tony Clark told Fox News Digital that passengers had to be evacuated due to a "standard ride stoppage."

This is not the first time people have had a bad time on a roller coaster at Cedar Point. On July 22, a passenger riding Cedar Point's Maverick roller coaster was left with a concussion after being struck by another passenger's flying phone. And in 2018, a power outage to the Sandusky park left people stranded on their rides for two hours — some on the 300-foot-fall Millennium Force roller coaster.

Representatives for Cedar Point did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
