Horror as Boardmasters revellers are left dangling upside down after huge fairground ride breaks down during festival
The people stuck at the top of the ride were exposed to the high winds RIDE SCARE Horror as Boardmasters revellers are left dangling upside down after huge fairground ride breaks down during festival Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TERRIFIED Boardmasters festival-goers were left dangling upside-down for 20 minutes after an amusement ride at the event broke down. The horrifying incident took place earlier this weekend, as thousands of Brits headed down to Cornwall for the festival. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The ride left people suspended for 20 minutes Credit: tiktok/josh.b2007 3 The ride is designed to rotate, swinging festival-goers around Credit: tiktok/josh.b2007 The ride is designed to be a one-armed swing, with people sat at each end. When it is activated, festival-goers are thrown around in a circle. However, this time, the ride got stuck. One thrill-seeker filmed the breakdown on unfolding, captioning the video: "Apollo 13 broke, with people stuck at the top for 20 minutes." He had just missed out on getting onto the ride, as he was still in the queue when it broke down. After he shared the nailbiting footage on TikTok on Friday, it has been shared more than 500 times. Fans flooded the comment section, as they spoke about how scared they would have been if they were on the ride. One person commented: "No, imagine being stuck up there and it starts to move because of the wind…". Another said: "I saw this happen from my house and I thought the ride was shut." One even revealed that they were on the ride at the time, writing: "I was stuck up there." 'It was carnage!' slams mum over Boardmasters crowd surge that hospitalised 7 & saw 100s of kids in tears Boardmasters Festival has been approached for comment about the incident. Meanwhile, the festival had a huge line-up with incredible stars taking to the main stage. Noughties icon Nelly Furtado performed a slew of dance hits including Maneater and I'm Like a Bird. She appeared before Central Cee headlined the event but the singer-songwriter had gathered a huge crowd of her own. Over 50,000 Brits headed to the festival which takes place every year in Newquay. Ahead of the festival CrossCountry warned that roads leading to the area would be jammed. CrossCountry said: "Boardmasters Festival is located in Newquay, and you can get to Newquay station easily with CrossCountry. "The simplest way to get to Newquay using CrossCountry services is to change at Plymouth station. "From Newquay station, shuttles run to the festival every fifteen minutes on Wednesday, August 6. "Using the CrossCountry network, we expect Plymouth station to be the busiest connecting station. "We expect festival attendees to be travelling through Plymouth on Wednesday, August 6, and Thursday, August 7, and again on Monday, August 11, when passengers are travelling home. "If you are travelling around Plymouth on these days, services may be slightly busier than usual."

Dramatic islands just two hours from UK that featured in James Bond and How to Train Your Dragon
Plus, a Sun reporter reveals her experience of the islands HIDDEM GEM Dramatic islands just two hours from UK that featured in James Bond and How to Train Your Dragon Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BETWEEN Iceland and the UK are a set of fascinating islands that have been used as a location for many famous films and TV series. The incredible Faroe Islands are made up of 18 rocky islands and are an archipelago of Denmark. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The Faroe Islands are made up of 18 rocky islands Credit: Alamy 4 And the islands have featured in many famous films including the new How to Train Your Dragon film Credit: Disney But what makes them so special is their unusual terrain, making them the ideal spot for filming scenes set against a rugged, mythical-looking landscape. Most recently, the new How to Train Your Dragon film is believed to have used the islands as key inspiration for the mythical Isle of Berk. According to Guide to Faroe Islands, specifically Tindhólmur Islet was used to create the shape of the Isle of Berk. The location scout for the film said: "There was one island on the Faroe Islands that we decided we were going to mold the village on, and that was going to be the epicenter of all the action," reports Variety. The Faroe Islands feature a range of different natural colours, including muted browns and greens. These ultimately set the palette for the film's settings and a lot of the costumes too. In a recent interview, the film's director, Dean DeBlois said: "Our Isle of Berk is actually an island in the Faroe Islands. It's called Tindhólmur. "It's smaller. We scaled it up but it's the same proportion. "I'm just so blown away by how exotic and kind of rugged and exaggerated the shapes are." Tindhólmur has also featured as Neverland in Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy and in HBO's His Dark Materials. Faroe Islands: Travel Destination Another major production that chose the Faroe Islands as a filming location was the James Bond film 'No Time to Die'. Kalsoy Island features in the film as the home of a fictional lair. In the film, the spot is called Poison Island and is where the film's villain had his hideaway. The island itself features deep valleys and towering cliffs. The legendary 007 is also killed on the island, when he is blown up in a missile strike. Residents of the island wanted to commemorate the filming of No Time to Die and it being the death place of Bond, so have since erected a gravestone for the British spy. 4 One of the islands was also used in the James Bond film No Time to Die Credit: Universal Pictures On Streymoy Island, you'll find the capital of the Faroe Islands Tórshavn. Tórshavn is known for its old town and wooden houses. There is even a cathedral which was rebuilt in the 19th century. A small central shopping strip also has a number of boutique shops. If visiting the capital, there are a number of places to stay too - as tourism continues to grow in the islands. Tórshavn also makes a great base for exploring many of the surrounding villages on the island, as well as the numerous walking trails and waterfalls. Atlantic Airways offers direct flights from London to the Faroe Islands on Tuesdays and Saturdays and the flight takes just over two hours. I visited the 'other-worldly' islands a few hours from UK THE Sun's associate head of news Brittany Vonow headed to the Faroe Islands last year - here is what she thought. You've been working hard and need a break, somewhere away from the city, with plenty of nature, fresh air and birds to watch - allow me to suggest the Faroe Islands. Gorgeous gorges, majestic mountains and fantastic fjords all stretch out as far as the eye can see. There are hikes for all abilities — ranging from two-hour rambles between towns to all-day treks that take you to the most Instagram-worthy spots. The oyster catcher — the Faroe Islands' national bird chirp their hellos, while the doleful Faroe sheep watch us make our way through their stunning backyard. One such hike is the trek from the islands' capital Tórshavn to Kirkjubøur, one of the oldest towns in the Faroes which dates back to the 13th century. You can walk up and back from the towns — about two hours each way — or a free bus runs regularly between them. The local Parne bookshop is another perfect spot to take a break in after running around the mountains — and its rhubarb cheesecake is a delicious pick-me-up. In four days, my tired city spirit has been renewed by the lush Faroes, and an interest in birdwatching has been well and truly sparked. The world's first underwater roundabout located under the islands has also become an unusual tourist attraction. Plus, check out 20 of Europe's most beautiful islands that have direct flights from the UK – and some of the world's best beaches.
