Fire In GLP Dominator's Station
« on: October 10, 2007, 03:25:37 PM »
While perusing the forii at Geauga Lake Today, I found some VERY interesting pictures of a fire in Dominator's station, which apparently happened Sunday last:

Scroll about half way down this page:

I still hope that comes to KD, it's the best floorless I have been on.

I wonder how it started?

I'd bet it was just some sparks falling from the work being done to remove the ride.  Lots of times torches are needed to remove certain aspects of the ride like platforms, catwalks, stairs, etc. So maybe some sparks hit and sat there simmering overnight.

Hence why Disney hoses down all of Fantasy Land and the woods behind it before every showing of Wishes.

I call this Statue of Liberty disease.

That which is local is often thought not as good as that which is further away.

And yes, I fall prey to it, too.

This happened to a hotel they did renovations to in my town. They hit a birds nest while torching some metal and it went up in smoke.
