SANDUSKY, Ohio (KDKA) -- Riders on a rollercoaster at Cedar Point found themselves stuck and stranded.

A mechanical issue stopped the Magnum XL 200 in its tracks on one of the inclines.

Riders were then forced to walk down the 205-foot roller coaster's stairs.

The park's director said that it was a standard ride stoppage but they weren't able to restart the ride which is what caused the riders to have to walk back down.
