Video: Firefighters Rescue Riders Stuck On SeaWorld Roller Coaster

New video shows firefighters rescuing several riders that were stuck on a roller coaster at SeaWorld in San Antonio.

San Antonio Fire Department was called to SeaWorld around 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

The fire department wrote on Twitter, "SAFD UNITS RESPONDING TO 10500 SEA WORLD FOR A TECHNICAL RESQ ON TAC17. CROSS ST: N ELLISON DR/DEAD END OUTDOOR EVENT FACILITIES."

KSAT reported that the riders were stranded at a high spot on the Wave Breaker roller coaster.

The videos show firefighters using a high-extension ladder to reach the riders in order to bring them down to safety.

There are very limited details about the incident at this time.

It took the firefighters just over three hours to rescue the group of 13 riders.

SeaWorld said in a statement, "[Sunday] at 12:51pm the Wave Breaker roller coaster stopped during the ride. Thirteen guests were onboard. Consistent with our established safety protocols we worked with the San Antonio Fire Department to safely evacuate all guests on the ride. We apologize for the guest inconvenience. The safety of our employees and guests is our top priority."
