London, July 4 (IBNS): Riders had a tough time at an amusement park in England recently when the roller coaster, in which they were travelling, stopped mid-way, leaving people dangling upside down, media reports said.

A small video footage of the incident has gone viral on social media.

Riders are seen waving their hands, perhaps to gain attention of people for help.

However, the incident left no one injured, reports said.

The incident reportedly occurred in the Drayton Manor Theme Park on Saturday.

The park in a statement told Birmingham Mail: "At 15.22 today G-Force experienced a temporary stoppage.As a result all guests were safely removed from the ride.At no point was guest safety compromised.”

A father Den Hughes tweeted: "My girls front of 2nd car, stuck upside down @ #draytonmanor yesterday, both suffering & have to go to the docs #Rollercoaster."
