The Big One came to a dramatic stop mid-ride for a second time in two weeks with guests having to take the long walk down. The giant roller coaster came to a hair-raising halt on its epic 214ft hill climb at around 3pm on Sunday, with guests escorted off the ride and guided down its huge flight of emergency stairs. The Big One remained closed for the rest of the day after brave guests made their way down 400-plus steps to safety with the help of trained staff at the attraction. There was a minor technical problem and the safety system on the ride worked exactly as it should and immediately stopped the train on the lift as a precaution. Trained staff walked all riders safely down a set of stairs to the ground within 30 minutes. It’s the second week in a row that the Big One – the UK’s biggest roller coaster – has come to an unexpected stop with guests having to be rescued by the park’s staff. Guests on the ride were reassured and escorted from the ride by Blackpool Pleasure Beach staff. Due to high gusts of wind the Big One roller coaster closed for the remainder of the day.
