A family has been left traumatised after staff at an adventure park left them trapped at the top of a ferris wheel - after switching off the lights and closing up for the night.
Darren and Lynzie Riggs-Long and their three young children were left in cage at the top of the wheel at Adventure Island, at Southend, Essex. The children screamed as their parents desperately tried to get staff's attention as the cage was blown about in the wind.
Mr Riggs-Long, 38, from North London, had brought his family for a four-day stay at the seaside town. But he said his children are so traumatised he has since cut his holiday short.
He said: 'We couldn’t believe it. We were at the top of the wheel when the lights went out and staff started shutting the lights down on all the rides just before 10pm. It was cold and really dark. We were calling out for about 15 minutes before a member of the public spotted us and went to get a staff member.
