Carly Tarry, from Boston, told The Mirror that she was on the ride with her daughter, niece and nephew when it came to a stop.
“We had gone there for the day and we decided to go on the ride,” she told the news outlet. "It set off before it came to a sudden stop near the top. It lurched forward a little bit more but then stopped again. We then waited and they said we would have to evacuate. They started to bring harnesses up and released the locks so we could put them on in the seats.”
