7DMT is currently on fire (11/1/14)

[GoofGoof]

This got about 10 seconds on Orlando evening news. They mentioned cosmetic damage caused by fireworks debris and that it was put out withing a minute of the fire department arriving. And that was on the NBC affiliate which wouldn't have any motive to whitewash it.

According to Twitter there was extensive damage, part of the ride collapsed and it wasn't put out for a long time. The Internet is always right so NBC must have blown that story

Mostly car accidents and EMS calls from what I've heard. The odd brush fire here and there.

I have not heard of a major, working structure fire in my time here. Tho they keep everything quiet.

I seem to remember the fire trucks having to maneuver around in Epcot Future World several years ago due to an electrical issue...

Extra Magic Hours until 2 am.

Since clocks go back an hour at 2am does it mean that they will stay open until 3am then since by then it will actually be 2am?

You just blew my mind.

Waiting for emergency services to arrive on scene can seem like an eternity, even thought only a couple of minutes pass by.

I know. Remember, spot news journalist. I only have 2 speeding tickets due to work....

They could always opt for real trees too...

From their website.
The fire department averages about 65 calls for service a day or almost 24,000 calls year.

Yes but can you please break those calls down into a percentage of EMS/car accidents/structure fires?

Reports are the ride is operating now

Is it wrong that my first thought was I hope it's fixed before my FP+ and my 2nd thought was I hope it's not serious and no one was hurt? Actually don't answer that.

Ride is supposedly fully reopened

That's a bunch of unsubstantiated BS.

In fact, I'm busting out the BS Pride Parade for that one....

Thank goodness they were getting the frozen meet and greet props ready to move in.

Is it reopened? The My Disney Experience app is still showing its temporary closed...

Found this on http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html (gee, I must be bored):

In the U.S., clocks change at 2:00 a.m. local time. In spring, clocks spring forward from 1:59 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

So, if the clock technically falls back following 1:59, it would be another hour until it actually reaches 2 a.m. proper.

I'm assuming the park really close two hours after midnight, though?

Several Twitter reports say it's open and running with guests. I know from photos a line had formed outside the ride.

 

[DistractedGenius]

Well, it's looking like everybody is okay. Still a lot of crazy stuff floating around on Twitter, and it's trending on Facebook. I'll be surprised if it's actually open again tonight though. That just sounds unsafe.

Typical. Another Disney IT failure.
