News: Scottish coaster halts, riders rescued By Jill Anne

Apr. 26th, 2004 -- On Saturday, firefighters and police were called to M&D's Theme Park to rescue those trapped on the Tornado after the ride came to a halt. No one was injured, and it is undertermined weather the coaster rolled back due to wind or lubricant. The ride is closed and an investigation has been launched, which seems particularly important after a teenager fell to her death at Oakwood Leisure Park just over a week before. It is unclear from the article whether this was an actual rollback or whether the coaster came to a stop on a relatively flat piece of track. For more details see the BBC news site.
