Wait I'm confused, I thought at first that was the HP ride but then the other pic is of Monsters. Right?

Yes, the first two are from HP, and the third is from Monsters.

So... uhh... how can we be sure this isn't a major fire hazard?

Someone had to ask.

I’m sure they thought ahead

Obviously it's not their first use of fire, but it's the first time they've had a large, flaming object hanging above a building like this.

They literally have a dragon that shoots fire above and at guests every 15 minutes or so.

We always used to say that the Universal playbook for a ride was get in a Spider-Man-type vehicle, look at a screen at some point, and then there's fire somewhere. Fire is all over Universal. It's a pyromaniac's dream resort!

There's fire blasts pretty near guests in FoF parade. And the giant torches around World Lagoon.

Not to mention fireworks...

Its not a Universal ride unless it spits fire, water or fog (or all 3 at once) at you

It’s not really any different. You use non-combustible materials in the correct assemblies. You provide sensors, alarms, and extinguishing systems. It’s not in an enclosed space which makes some things easier. Revenge of the Mummy is pumping gas into a room and then igniting it. If too much gas built up that’d be a big problem.

... not to mention the Backdraft attraction that used to be in Hollywood.

Between SLOP (water), Mine Cart Madness (water), and Mario Kart (fog), oh my god this is actually still true.

IMO the best "wow factor" of this happening is still Hobgoblin's pumpkin.

I miss the Jaws fire. So many people complaining that it burned them when in reality they had already gotten a sunburn from being out in Florida and their skin was overly sensitive due to it
