News Flight of Passage Fire?

[wdwperry]

Anybody have any information of a possible fire at Flight of Passage? A bunch of tweets are reporting on this.

Do we know there was an actual fire or just alarm sounded?

 

[ToTBellHop]

I mean the whole structure is certainly closed. How would guests know the cause? Surely CMs don’t scream “Fire!”?

I have a friend at AK today. They haven't heard anything, but they were also not in that area.

It's like a work-life situation. Just when things are going grand at ROTR, something has to happen at FOP.

Was there smoke? I heard a wise proverb once: where there's smoke, go backstage.

Standard Siemens MXL fire alarm voice evac messages say “A Fire Emergency has been reported in the building, while this is being investigated please evacuate the building by the nearest stairs, do not use the elevator”

I’m guessing they heard the term “fire emergency” and just correlated it to the building being on fire.

Ride is back open

So it was a total loss then?

This is why Disney needs LESS screen rides, not MORE! /s

So it was a total loss then?

Yes. They were able to hitch a Primeval Whirl to a tractor and put it in FoP’s place. No one will notice, I’m sure.

This happens often. I was evac'ed in October. As most know on here, if the fire alarm gets pulled at either Pandora ride, they both get evacuated because it's one building.

Is it some CPer pulling the alarm so he can take a smoke break?

Are there really guest facing fire alarm pull stations in the Pandora show building?

Are there really guest facing fire alarm pull stations in the Pandora show building?

Yes. Hopefully with the new toilets, guests will stop pulling them.

There are guest facing pull stations all over WDW.

I didn’t ask about the Resort, I asked about this specific building. If guests pulling fire alarms is the cause for the facility’s fire alarm problems then that was a very, very dumb mistake on Disney’s part. The monitoring requirements for a new show building make it very easy to avoid placing pull stations in guest areas.

Guests pulling fire alarms is not the problem in the building.

Is it still the overheating problem in FoP or am I out of the loop on something?

 

[LieutLaww]

It was overheating again at a guess, when it first opened they had the same thing where it overheated and set off the fire alarms prompting a full evac of the whole ride.
