A fun night was quickly turned terrifying for many people at a carnival in Angleton.
What was intended to be a fun outing for many people was quickly turned frightening after a ride at a Brazoria County carnival malfunctioned on Thursday night.
The ride at the Brazoria County Fair, which was supposed to spin, became stuck leaving riders looking terrified while hanging upside-down for almost one minute. Spectators at the fair said that the ride operators had to climb up a ladder and kick the pole to get the ride moving again. Brad Deleon, a member of the fair association, said that a power surge caused the computer system on the ride to glitch and that they followed proper procedures to reset the ride.The fair went on for about a week starting on Friday, Oct. 14 and ending on Saturday, Oct. 22.
