Seven thrill-seekers on a rollercoaster became stuck 100 feet in the air after the ride failed with their seats pointing straight up.
Six adults and a child were stuck on the roller coaster for about half an hour.
The ride was going up a steep slope when it stopped, leaving the riders in a near vertical position.
The roller coaster, named Krater, stopped operating on January 3 at the Parque del Café in Montenegro, west of Bogota, Colombia.
Other park patrons captured the moment the thrill seekers were rescued by emergency services in a service elevator.

One video shows two rescuers standing at the top of the ride, apparently comforting the seven tied-up passengers.
Meanwhile, we see two other emergency workers climbing the service elevator ride to assist in the rescue operation.
After about 30 minutes the group reached solid ground safely and without injuries.
Following the incident, a park spokesperson reiterated its commitment to public safety and praised the actions of the first responders who participated in the rescue effort.
A local said: 'There's always something happening with that attraction.'
The Krater roller coaster, the park's main attraction, opened in 2015.
The ride opened to celebrate the park's 30th anniversary.
The roller coaster has several turns of 360 and 180 degrees and can reach speeds of up to 95 km/h.
