The ride malfunctioned at 7:15 p.m. Saturday, and the park closed at 7:30 p.m.

The ride reopened Sunday afternoon after maintenance workers inspected and tested it. Park officials did not know why the ride malfunctioned and stopped operating.

No problems were detected, but a gondola was removed from the ride, a park spokesman said.
