(officially released by park officials) At approximately 12:15 p.m., a train on one of our coasters stopped during its cycle. The train was 8-10 feet above the ground with 20 passengers on board. Maintenance and safety personnel immediately responded. Within 15 min. all guests were unloaded from the ride.
Our maintenance and engineering teams will conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly what caused the coaster to stop. All safety systems functioned properly.
Has this ever happened before - No
The train sustained some damage, but our engineers are out there as we speak conducting an investigation to determine exactly what caused the coaster to stop.
The ride will remain shut down, we've notified the state and will keep the ride closed until they have inspected the ride and cleared it to open.

Yea your probably right becuase car 3 is off the track as you can see.
Earlier this week, they fixed it within a day, it was launched and ripped some cables that attach to the LIMs, they temporarily closed all the Priemer Launch Coaster of Six Flags*** (not the US) till they were all inspected for that problem, but they should all have been reopened.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.

I have heard someone at SFStL (Mr. Freeze) say that it might open in 2 weeks.
