— ChronSallie (@ChronSallie)No one was hurt in the event. This isn't the first time the rollercoaster has broken down. A train ascending the lift hill stopped in April 2021, leaving a number of riders trapped at the top of the ride.
Big One was the tallest and steepest roller coaster in the world when it first opened in 1994. Because of its height and prominence on the Blackpool skyline, it can be viewed from throughout the Fylde coast.
