At dizzying heights on a roller coaster, dozens of Japanese people suddenly got stuck in the middle of the ride.
A power outage stopped the roller coaster ride on "Hollywood Dream - The Ride" at Universal Studios Japan amusement park in Osaka.
Videos showing stuck passengers can be seen on Twitter.
The supposed Hollywood dream is known for its steep descent from a height of around 43 meters.
Nobody was injured in the incident, as the operator assured.
The 35 passengers are unlikely to have experienced a greater adrenaline rush on any other rollercoaster ride.
Employees eventually took them to safety.
Several other attractions and around 3,200 households in the area were also affected by the power outage around noon (local time).
Shortly afterwards electricity started flowing again.
The cause of the breakdown was initially unknown.
