A man in California climbed to the top of a closed San Diego roller coaster and threatened to jump from its highest point before he was rescued hours later, according to multiple reports.
The man went into Mission Beach's Belmont Park and made his way over a fence for the Giant Dipper, which was closed due to the pandemic, before climbing to the top of the estimated 70-foot tall wooden attraction around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, according to local affiliate FOX 5 San Diego.
