Thorpe Park has already closed its newest rollercoaster after it broke down leaving riders stuck 236ft in the air.
The theme park confirmed they were closing the ride Hyperia ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’.
On Saturday the ride broke down just days after reopening, leaving thrill-seekers stuck 236ft in the air.
Thorpe Park said: ‘Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to reopen Hyperia today, Wednesday 19th June.
‘We will update our ride availabilty page with the latest information regarding the opening of Hyperia beyond today.
‘We apologise for the disappointment this will cause and we are working hard to reopen Hyperia as soon as possible and will keep people updated via our website and social media.’
The £18,000,000 rollercoaster was launched last month and has been forced to close three times.
On Saturday one park goer said a man went up with a harness to speak to the passengers before coming back down.
The ride was eventually restarted and returned to its station, where those onboard were able to disembark safely, the theme park said.
Hyperia is made up of 995m of track and is 236ft tall, and features the tallest loop in Europe.
The ride was inspired by the legendary daughter of an ancient River God, according to the official site, and the theme park’s director, Neil Poulter, told BBC Radio Surrey that riders would experience a ‘weightlessness feel’ and feel ‘like you’re slightly coming out of your seat’.
