Thrill seekers got way more than they could ever bargain for at the Cedar Point amusement park on Saturday in Ohio.

On its very first day when it opened up to the public, the park’s new Siren’s Curse roller coaster left riders suspended in the air for just under 10 minutes.

It occurred when the ride’s signature tilt portion, where it breaks off and tilts forward 45 degrees, before reconnecting to another piece of the track at a 90-degree angle to the ground below, had people holding on to their lives with a deep breath.

This is the point where the ride vehicle is supposed to be released, and therefore, it sends riders into a straight down drop.

Video footage that was captured showed how the maintenance employee tilted the riders back up into a horizontal position.

Another spokesperson shared with PEOPLE magazine how the ride experienced a delay that paused the ride’s operations during the afternoon hours of Saturday. The ride’s safety system performed as designed, and it restarted with guests being able to continue on the ride as planned.

All guests were able to exit the ride as planned, but sources shared how it was a very thrilling yet scary moment that not too many had expected.
