Fire department officials told the news outlet the calls for assistance came in around 3:45 p.m. and that the TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride-3D was the one on which 11 people became stuck. Crews were able to remove everyone safely from the ride with no injuries reported.

A spokesperson for Universal shared the following statement with ABC7 - "As a result of a power interruption from So Cal Edison, we experienced a brief power dip which resulted in exiting guests from some attractions. Power has been fully restored and we're working to get a few remaining attractions back online. The theme park remains open."
