Crews Free Trapped Riders on Myrtle Beach SkyWheel

Crews were called to the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel yesterday to rescue riders who were stuck on the ride. Firefighters were able to help the SkyWheel’s staff manually operate the ride and ‘remove occupants’. It’s unclear how long they were stuck but a SkyWheel spokesperson said that all of the riders were safe and never in danger during the incident.
