Several thrill-seekers experienced a nightmare at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park when they were stranded on a ride.

On Monday at approximately 2 p.m., the "Sol Spin" ride at Knott's Berry Farm experienced technical difficulties, causing the ride to stop midcycle, according to a spokesperson for the park.

Riders' legs dangled in midair on the ride, as captured by FOX 11 Los Angeles.

By 4:30 p.m., the 22 guests were safely evacuated following the ride manufacturer's and amusement park's emergency procedures, as officials stated.

The "Sol Spin" is a high-speed spinning ride that rotates riders in three directions simultaneously, giving them a real sense of being airborne while suspended and flipping above the ground, according to the park's website.
