1st day of Easter, Blackpool's The Big One rollercoaster halted, forcing riders to walk down.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach's flagship rollercoaster, The Big One, broke down on the lift hill on the first day of Easter holidays, forcing riders to walk down the rollercoaster. The UK's tallest rollercoaster halted twice in two days, with a spokesperson attributing the stoppages to an "overactive sensor." Riders were escorted by trained staff members down the rollercoaster, and no injuries were reported.
