A roller coaster hit a tree branch at the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park outside Los Angeles on Monday, dislodging the front car, leaving four people slightly injured and keeping nearly two-dozen summer fun-seekers hanging 20-30 feet in the air for hours as day turned to night. Two of the four people hurt on the Ninja coaster were taken to a hospital as a precaution, but all the injuries were minor, fire and park officials said.
