A terrifying video has shown Six Flags patrons walking down a steep rollercoaster drop after the Texas amusement park suffered a power outage.

Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington temporarily lost power Saturday because “an external construction crew made contact with an underground power line,” a Six Flags spokesperson told The Independent.

The power outage left some riders stranded on several rides, including the Titan, prompting them to walk back down the tracks, according to videos taken at the park.

In one video, riders of the Titan, described by Six Flags as “Texas’ sky-touching coaster,” were seen climbing down steep steps to get off the attraction in a single-file line.

The wind could be seen blowing through the patrons as they gripped the railing, trying to descend the Titan.

Six Flags describes the Titan as the “biggest, baddest coaster in the park,” standing at 245 feet tall. The ride, first introduced in 2001, is supposed to last for three minutes and 20 seconds.

The Six Flags spokesperson said all parkgoers were “safely escorted off rides and attractions and were provided a complimentary ticket for a return visit.”

It took about two hours to fully resume operations, the spokesperson said, adding that many rides reopened later Saturday.

“On Sunday, the park resumed normal operations and opened as scheduled,” the spokesperson said. “The park looks forward to commencing daily operations this Thursday, May 21 and continuing its 65th anniversary celebrations.”

The Arlington amusement park is the original Six Flags location. It’s celebrating 65 years of operations this year with a new ride.

The Tormenta Rampaging Run will debut later this year and is promised by Six Flags to be the “tallest, fastest and longest giga dive coaster in the world.”

The coaster is more than 300 feet high and has a “record-breaking” 95-degree drop, according to the park.
