A number of Universal Studios Orlando guests are safe on the ground after they became stuck on top of a roller coaster Wednesday morning. WESH 2 News cameras were rolling around 9:40 a.m. as guests got out of their seats on the Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster at Universal Studios and then walked down a flight of stairs. Orlando Fire Department officials said fire crews were on standby to help if needed. A total OF 12 guests from two different ride cars were assisted off the tracks by Universal personnel, fire officials said. Nobody was hurt, fire officials said. A Universal spokesperson said the issue was due to a technical glitch. "We experienced a technical glitch at Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. The ride did exactly what it was supposed to do and brought the ride to a safe and controlled stop. We have helped our guests off the ride. We are working to reopen the ride as soon as possible."
