Power outage strands 11 on Universal Studios Hollywood ride

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say nearly a dozen people were rescued after a power outage left them stranded on a ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. The Los Angeles County Fire Department said crews were called to the park’s Transformers ride around 3:45 p.m. Thursday (April 7, 2022) after 11 people got stuck on the indoor ride. The Los Angeles Times reports the riders were freed by 6 p.m. and no one was hurt. The park said in a statement that it experienced a “brief power dip” that resulted in “exiting guests from some attractions.” Power was restored.
