SHANGHAI: Some Shanghai Disneyland visitors were reportedly left hanging up to six-storeys in the air for half an hour after one of the theme park's rides broke down because of a mechanical problem on Tuesday night.

The 4D-ride, "Soaring Over the Horizon" – an indoor flight motion simulator attraction that shows scenes from around the world on a big projection screen, and can accommodate up to 90 people – stopped working at about 7.40pm, the news website Xinmin.cn reported.
