The panic began around 7:30 p.m. when the amusement park’s “Wave Twister” attraction ground to a sudden halt, trapping the riders a dizzying 75 feet above the ground, according to FOX5.

The East Farmingdale Fire Department and a mutual aid company rushed to the scene and are currently working a rescue operation to bring the stranded parkgoers safely back down.

Emergency crews from the West Babylon, East Farmingdale, and Amityville Fire Departments, along with Suffolk County Police, have evacuated the park.

As of late Friday evening, all 16 riders — ranging in age from 5 to 40 — had been rescued, police told Greater Long Island.

FOX5 reporter Jessica Formoso, who was at the park when the ride stalled, said she first realized something was wrong when she heard sirens in the parking lot.

“We were stunned,” she said.

“I was like, are people actually stuck?”

The “Wave Twister” is part of a $10 million, five-phase redevelopment of Adventureland’s Legacy Corner and was manufactured by Ride Engineers of Switzerland.
