Yep. Scooby also down- QFS are there helping remove people. 
 

that means that WWF, rivals, JL, ,GL and Scooby are now all closed 

[themagician]

Yeah apparently four people were ‘trapped’ on the ride 10 metres in the area and QFS was called to assist with removing then. Classic media making the safety systems sound deadly.

Isn't that the operators are trained to do though?

I was wondering the same. I've been ' stuck' on it twice... Both at the first break run at the top of the wild mouse bit as you come off the turntable. Both times a normal member of staff has been the one to come and help you out and point you in the direction of the emergency exit stairs leading back into the park.

There was a malfunction with the elevator

Very strange to need QFS to evacuate Scooby. Wonder if a ride stop kicked in at EXACTLY the wrong moment to evac normal or if there just happens to be a wheelchair guest who needs extra assistance. Could also be a loose item on the track. Elevator is also a possibility but strange its 4 not 8.

 

I've always been under the impression it's a case of take the cars off of the track for a stall.

I assume it has to be towed back to the station somehow? or is it more of an operation where it is craned from the track? 

Would be easier to disassemble it where it is and crane it back home.

Looks like it was guest related.

Side tangent - why say high zone? Do many people who aren't niche enthusiasts or staff know what that is? It's up there with precinct for me when it comes to words normal everyday guests shouldn't hear.

UPDATE FROM MOVIE WORLD 

 

Late this afternoon the Scooby Doo ride's safety system
was engaged following a minor guest behaviour incident
which resulted in a ride stoppage in the high zone.
Due to the location of the stoppage, we engaged with
Queensland Fire & Emergency Services (QFES) to conduct
the unload process.
The guests on board were completely safe throughout the
process and our expert team were in constant
communication with them. The four guests on-board were
all safely unloaded.
The safety and wellbeing of our guests is our highest
priority and our team conduct regular training with QFES
on these scenarios and we would like to thank them for
their assistance.

I'm guessing so that it makes more sense for them to have had to call in Fire and Rescue.

According to news in regards to Scooby, guest had removed clothing which got caught in the track and ride Vehicle.

I guess we will see changes likely made to loose items, a locker system might be put in place now.

I agree, just require everyone to board nude - impossible for clothes to get stuck in the tracks then.

"It's the southern hempishre's first nude only multi type coaster in our world class nudist precint!"

[ShakeShack]

The attraction stopped between block sections due to loose clothing getting caught up within the wheels. QFS were needed as the attraction wasn't within it's normal evacuation space.

Why has no one quoted this part yet from the article?

The group was on the Scooby-Doo Coaster at Warner Brothers Movie World at Oxenford — the theme park's scariest ride — when it stopped about 3:30pm.

 

Lillian Rangiah (and staff) must have a low thrill level tolerance.

mfw i move rapidly to the left 😱

[Cactus_Matt]

Was it Greg Yong on the ride attempting some industrial sabotage?

[aaronm]

Clearly the park is at fault, there's not even a sign telling guests to leave their clothes on during the ride! 🙄
