Eight thrill seekers were left hanging upside down for hours after a roller coaster suffered mechanical failure at a fair in Wisconsin on Monday.

The riders became trapped when a Fireball roller coaster broke down near the top of a loop at the Forest County Festival in Crandon, about 100 miles northwest of Green Bay, according to local authorities.

Crandon Fire Department chief Brennan Cook said emergency services were called to the festival site at the Crandon International Offroad Raceway just after 1.30pm local time.

The first trapped passenger was freed about two hours later, and the last one was brought down just after 5pm. Nine people were treated on site by medics, and one was taken to hospital, authorities said.
