The Department of Labor investigated why the ride got stuck.

???The Oklahoma Department of Labor has temporarily shut down the Silver Bullet ride pending a thorough investigation as to why the train stalled on the track. Once the investigation is over, Oklahoma Department of Labor inspectors will complete a comprehensive inspection of the ride and assure all safety standards are being met before the ride is operational again. We appreciate Frontier City for executing their emergency plan safely and efficiently, and their commitment to the safety of the public. We also appreciate the quick response and assistance of the Oklahoma City Fire Department.???

Frontier City sent out the following statement:

"At approximately 4:20 p.m., the train on the Silver Bullet roller coaster at Frontier City stalled on the lift. Due to the position of the stalled train, the back half of the cars were able to be evacuated by park personnel. The fire department had to be called to evacuate the guests in the front cars.

Guest safety is Frontier City???s top priority. As soon as each guest has been evacuated from the Silver Bullet, a thorough investigation into the reason the ride stalled will take place."

Between out of shape people tripping and stupid people trying to take selfies walking down the stairs, this is exactly why we can't unload from lift anymore.

Guess what got stuck again!

OKLAHOMA CITY ??? Amusement park visitors were in for a scare on Thursday morning when a popular ride malfunctioned.

Around 11:30 a.m., emergency crews were called to Frontier City after a popular ride became stuck.

Initial reports indicated the Silver Bullet became stuck with riders in some of the carts.

Oklahoma City firefighters say no one was injured when the ride stopped.

Frontier City released the following statement to NewsChannel 4:

???At approximately 11:25 AM, the train on the Silver Bullet roller coaster at Frontier City stalled in a safe position on the lift. Due to the position of the stalled train, the back half of the cars were able to be evacuated by park personnel. The fire department had to be called to evacuate the guests in the front cars.

This is the second time in less than a year that the Silver Bullet has become stuck on the tracks.

At the time, the Oklahoma Department of Labor said the Silver Bullet suffered a ???momentary power drop that caused a sensor fault.???
