Music Express

We've all been on a ride similar to this one before. It's called the "Music Express," and it goes around and around, up and down, forward and backward, while the music blares. Usually, the ride lasts a few minutes, but while it malfunctioned, sources say people were on it for as long as ten minutes.

The Music Express is a fast-paced circular ride traveling a track with numerous peaks and valleys. As the name suggests, loud music plays, and lights flash wildly throughout the ride! - Playland.com 

Stuck in Reverse

According to the New York Post, the ride got stuck in reverse at full speed, and the emergency shut-off didn't work. The incident has been documented in viral videos throughout TikTok and other social media platforms.

You can hear onlookers shouting for workers to "pull the plug" as they helplessly watched those on the ride careening backward for minutes.

According to the NY Post, maintenance workers at Playland Park in Rye, NY, eventually stopped it by disconnecting the power.

Kids Crying, Parents Upset
