Firefighters were called to the Six Flags theme park after a fault occurred on the Joker’s Jinx.

The ride ground to a halt leaving the passengers stranded 46ft up in the air at the Six Flags adventure park.

The riders were finally rescued after five hours.

No injuries have been reported but park workers sheltered the riders with umbrellas to give them some relief from the blistering sun.

Tommy Lee has won a legal battle against engineer Scott King who alleged the rocker stole his idea for a drum kit rollercoaster.

The 51-year-old Motley Crue musician used the stunt during the band’s 2011 tour, where he could be seen turning upside down as he played, but Scott King claimed he pitched a similar idea to Tommy Lee in 1991.

In 2012, Scott King filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court demanding at least $400,000 in damages over allegations the rocker stole his idea.

Scott King has lost the legal battle after a judge ruled he never obtained exclusive rights to the concept and Tommy Lee created his own version of the rollercoaster drum set, TMZ reported.
