A Glasgow man has shared footage of the gut-wrenching moment him and his pals were left trapped on the UK's biggest rollercoaster while 253ft up in the air.
Leo McMullin and his thrill-seeking friends took a trip to Blackpool on Tuesday, April 11, and waited in a two-hour long queue to get onto the Big One rollercoaster.
But the 23-year-old was left screaming in fear as well as laughing in disbelief as heavy winds left the group stranded hundreds of feet up in the air - and he captured the heart-stopping moment on camera.

The bar worker who is employed at Delmonicas, in the city centre, recorded the drama as it unfolded.
Passengers were sat in their carriages as they awaited the adrenaline rush but it was short-lived when they got to the top as everything came to a halt due to strong winds.
Those onboard had to be guided by a staff member as they exited carriages and were told to make their way down emergency steps.
In a video clip, Leo can be seen laughing, and says: “Aw naw we’re gonnae need to get aff this rollercoaster.”
As he walked down the steps he continued filming and added: “This isnae scary, it was getting out the rollercoaster.”
A spokesperson for Blackpool Pleasure Beach said: "At 2.50pm on Tuesday 11th April, Blackpool Pleasure Beach stopped the Big One train on the ride’s lift hill due to sudden changes in weather conditions.
"Guests on the ride were reassured and escorted from the ride by Blackpool Pleasure Beach staff.
"Due to high gusts of wind the Big One rollercoaster closed for the remainder of the day."
