COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
--
Twenty people were stuck, hanging out in the sky after a computer glitch caused the Mountaineer Sky Ride at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to stop Wednesday afternoon.
The malfunction occurred just after 3:30 p.m. Firefighters called to the scene pulled up in ladder trucks and helped riders climb down the ladders from their chairlifts.
By 5:30 p.m., firefighters had rescued all the riders. No one was hurt.
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is looking into what caused the malfunction.
The open-air ride goes around the zoo, and provides views of Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs and the plains to the east.
