WASHINGTON – A roller coaster that left 24 riders stranded Sunday will remain closed while Six Flags continues to investigate what caused the ride to stop.

“The safety of our guests is our top priority and the ride will remain closed until the park performs a thorough investigation,” according to a park statement.
Park staff and the ride’s manufacturer will be involved in the investigation.
