The Sea Warrior ride at Lake Winnepesaukah stopped suddenly for about five minutes with four riders on board Saturday afternoon, according to a spokeswoman for the park.

All four riders were able to safely disembark, three on their own and one with the help of a stepladder, spokeswoman Talley Green said Sunday. No injuries were reported.

The ride will be out of operation until repairs are completed, she said.

"As always, safety is our top priority and we will continue to invest in training for our employees," Green said in a statement. "In the last two months alone we've logged over 2,600 hours of training. This allows our employees to provide the best experience for all our guests by following our hospitality and safety protocols - just as they did on Saturday."
