Late Breaking News: Silver Bullet

Me and my family were at Frontier City today and apparently from the park team-members they informed us that they had a few power outages today.  Well during one of the surges the Silver Bullet was on the lift and had gotten stuck at the top of the lift(kinda like the last time it got stuck when the chain was having problems, but it wasn't hanging over the side as much).  We watched the whole ordeal happen.  It happened around 3:30ish.  The riders were stuck for about 30 minutes.  First aid members were bringing water to the top and passing it around.  The firefighters finally showed up around 4:00ish and we were forced behind the railroad tracks next to the Steel Lasso.  As soon as we crossed over the tracks, apparently the chain finally started up again and the train was forced down the hill.  So NO ladder was needed and everyone was safe. 

The day something good happens, I had no camera.  :(  I do apologize.  News 4 was out in the service road and I looked for some footage, but sadly couldn't find any.
