Visitors to Six Flags Over Texas experienced tense moments over the weekend after an electrical failure abruptly stopped the Titan roller coaster, one of the most iconic and tallest attractions at the amusement park located in Arlington, Texas.

The incident occurred on Saturday, when passengers were trapped halfway through the ride and had to be manually evacuated by park staff, according to Fox News.

Videos shared on social networks showed dozens of visitors carefully descending a narrow, steep metal staircase attached to the enormous roller coaster structure.

The Titan stands approximately 245 feet tall and reaches speeds of up to 85 miles per hour, according to official information from Six Flags.

Six Flags attributed the incident to an internal technical issue.

Park officials indicated that the incident was caused by an internal technical problem that interrupted the power supply in different areas of the complex, according to local station WFAA in Dallas.

Despite the disruption, the park reopened on Sunday.

Park authorities assured that the evacuation was completed safely and without injuries. However, the images quickly went viral and caused a wave of reactions among social media users.

“I could never get down from there, not at that height,” wrote one user on TikTok. Another commented: “I would never ride a roller coaster again.”

The incident also reignited online debate over roller coaster safety and amusement park emergency protocols.

While some users questioned whether these types of attractions are really safe, others defended the safety systems and recalled that roller coasters are subject to strict regulations and inspections.

Some visitors also expressed frustration over long lines and disruptions at several attractions during the blackout period.

“Something always happens at Six Flags,” another user wrote on social media.

Titan has operated at Six Flags since 2001

The Titan is one of the flagship attractions of Six Flags Over Texas and has been in operation since 2001.

The incident occurs months after another evacuation at Six Flags New England, when passengers on the Superman the Ride attraction had to descend from an elevated section of the track after a failure in the normal cycle of the ride.

In that case, park officials indicated that trained employees accompanied the passengers throughout the evacuation and maintained constant communication with the visitors.
