Blown fuse strands riders dangling upside down on roller coaster

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- Riders on a roller coaster received an unexpected thrill Saturday in Hot Springs, Ark.

The X-Coaster at the Magic Springs Amusement Park was stuck upside down after a power outage.

At least a dozen people on the coaster were stuck for nearly 30 minutes before being rescued by a ladder fire truck.

Officials are investigating the reason for the power interruption. One rider was transported to the local hospital with minor injuries.
