There was a sky-high scare for a pair who were stranded on a Ferris wheel in Perth on Saturday night.
The pair were suspended at the top of the SkyVista Observation Wheel, 36m in the air, for almost two hours.
They called emergency services, and reportedly were seen shining their phone torch to attract attention, according to 9News.
It was reported that the operators did not realise they were still on the Ferris wheel, and left one hour before the ride's official 10pm closing time.
Audio of the emergency services call revealed "they were a paying occupant of the ride. They saw the operator leave the premise, and they've been stuck there since."
The operators eventually returned to let the passengers down.
The owners of the ride have told 9News they deeply regret that this incident occurred, launching an immediate internal review to ensure it doesn't happen again.
