Description

The AtmosFEAR “extreme” pendulum ride at Oaks park has reopened to riders on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. On June 14, the ride stopped at what park officials called its “apex position,” and photos posted on social media showed 28 thrill-seekers suspended upside down.

A Portland jury Wednesday awarded $550,000 to two teenage girls for their 25 terrifying minutes trapped upside down on Oaks Amusement Park’s AtmosFEAR ride in 2024 — and for their years of psychological and physical trauma afterward.
