Can I get a refund?

News from Hot Springs, Ark. where a dozen riders on a roller coaster spent half an hour hanging upside down -- 150 feet above the ground -- after a power outage shut down the attraction. It took about 30 minutes for the city fire department to rescue the riders using a ladder truck Saturday evening, according to a park spokeswoman. Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster, but one passenger threw up after reaching safety.
I wonder what you think about hanging upside down for that long besides the obligatory "this really sucks" and "ouch" when your cell phone falls out of your pocket and bangs you in the head.
