At 4:30, the fire department tweeted that the ride was unstuck and passengers had all safely departed, adding that “some may need medical evaluation.”
According to the San Diego Police Department, four people between the ages of 20-24 were arrested for felony vandalism. The actions of the vandalism, which initially began around 2:10 p.m., caused the ride to stop working, SDPD said.
According to SDPD Officer Darius Jamsetjee, witnesses told police the four people arrested were rocking the gondola they were in back and forth. There was no immediate word on what the other actions of the vandalism were, SDPD said.
According to SDPD, around 100 people were onboard the ride.
“We were walking around seeing the animals and then we look up and everyone’s stuck,” Jordan Gakstatter, a visitor at the San Diego Zoo, said.
Marissa Florendo, another visitor at the zoo, told NBC 7, “They had told everyone to get out of the line and we noticed as we were going through the park that pretty much it was stopped and people were up there for a really long time.”
Fire crews remained at the zoo until all passengers were safely on the ground.
