If you had plans to head to Six Flags America to check out this year's new "Spinsanity" ride, you'll want to plan another visit because the ride is temporarily closed.

WJLA reported that marketing and public relations manager Joseph Pudlick shared that "[t]he safety sensors on one of our attractions stopped the ride mid-cycle," with them via email in regards to the situation.

"All guests were able to safely exit the ride and continued with their visit. The safety of our guests is always our highest priority and the ride will be closed for a thorough inspection before re-opening."

The ride takes visitors 150 feet into the air at upwards of 70mph. Instagram user @big216teezy shared a video of ride's support beams shaking once the ride was over.

It is unclear how long Spinsanity will be closed for.
