The coaster, according to Cedar Point, was recognized as the world’s fastest complete-circuit roller coaster when it was introduced in 1989.

Cedar Point director of communications Tony Clark told Fox News Digital referred to the stoppage as a “check engine light” scenario that automatically prevented the ride from restarting after it had stopped.
