Cable car issue at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park traps 210 riders mid-air in winter cold


Some 210 cable car riders at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park were left hanging in mid-air for half an hour in the winter cold on Saturday night due to a mechanical issue.

A spokeswoman for the Southern District amusement park said shortly before midnight that one of the two ropeways for the cable car system was suspended temporarily at 7.43pm, and that park staff had immediately performed an inspection.
