© KTLA 'Invertigo'ing Nowhere Fast: Riders await extraction so they can get back to enjoying the rest of all the fun rides at California's Great America.

At 1:45pm this August 10th 2009 afternoon, the Vekoma manufactured inverted boomerang style roller coaster ride "Invertigo" at California's Great America amusement park malfunctioned. 28 riders remain stranded up to 80 feet above the ground and all of them at a 45-degree angle.

Thankfully, no injuries have been reported. All of the riders appear to be sitting in the shade as they sit and wait to be extracted by Santa Clara Fire Department officials who've brought in ladder and basket trucks. Each rider will have to be removed one at a time from their harness and then lowered into the basket and brought slowly down to safety.

Officials said the process will be very slow and probably take close to two hours to complete. With 40 different fire department and emergency medical personnel on the scene, everything looks to be under control, with no one in harm's way and everyone feeling calm.
