The wooden, twin-track Grand National ride, built in 1935, broke down at midday on Tuesday.
Staff at the Blackpool Pleasure Beach attraction had to climb up the ride, which stands 62 feet (19m) high, to escort nervous thrill-seekers back to the ground.
A spokesman for Blackpool Pleasure Beach said: “At 11.55 am on Tuesday June 1 a stoppage occurred on the lift hill of the Grand National.
“All riders were safely escorted down the lift hill, and the ride was checked and re-opened just before 1pm
“Shortly afterwards there was a very brief stoppage on the Big One lift hill, at 50ft, riders remained seated and the ride continued after five minutes.”
