Thrillseekers at Movie World spent a terrifying 3 minutes and 25 seconds dangling midair when a ride malfunctioned at the Gold Coast theme park.
Onlookers filmed patrons left hanging upside-down on the Doomsday Destroyer ride when it became stuck earlier on Thursday.
In a 10-second video recorded at Movie World
today, a concerned woman can be heard saying: "These guys are actually stuck up there."
Nine News, which broadcast the footage, reported passengers were "crying and shaken up" while stuck on the ride.
Movie World has confirmed the incident and said the ride had stopped as a result of "ride safety operating systems" automatically engaging.
