About a dozen people were on a roller coaster that became stuck on the tracks at Six Flags Over Texas Friday morning.
The New Revolution Virtual Reality Coaster — formerly known as The Shockwave — stopped on the tracks during ride's initial ascent about 11 a.m.
Park officials said a sensor indicated a possible problem with the ride and stopped the train at a "safe place."
While the issue was investigated, crew members brought water to the stranded passengers. After a short wait, passengers were escorted down the emergency ramp at 11:25 a.m.
Sharon Parker, with the theme park, said the ride will be shut down for an inspection. Parker did not say when the park hoped to reopen the ride.
