14 rescued as SlotZilla zip line elevator goes on fritz

Fourteen people were rescued Friday night from an elevator at the SlotZilla zip line attraction at the Fremont Street Experience, according to Las Vegas Fire & Rescue.

The rescue was announced about 11 p.m., almost two hours after firefighters were called, officials said on Twitter.

There was a mechanical malfunction and crews used a ladder to get the 13 passengers and one operator down, officials said. No one was injured and the ride is open.

The $11 million attraction features zip lines from which riders are hurled at about 35 mph while lying flat, 112 feet off the ground.
