June 2, 201412 yr Not sure if anyone else is here but 2 mason fire trucks and 2 ambulances just pulled up and had members walk back to chase with axes in hand. Hearing rumors but nothing official. Will keep updated if I hear.
June 2, 201412 yr I saw that too. We saw three fire trucks blocking off X-Base. Hope everyone is ok, but it doesn't look good.
June 2, 201412 yr Author To confirm there are 4 fire trucks total. 2 fire/ems pick ups as well as the ambulances.
June 2, 201412 yr Author Sounds like an issue with FoF, but no confirmation. Via twitter I saw that Fox19 is on their way.
June 2, 201412 yr Via WCPO on Twitter. Take initial reports with a grain of salt, of course. "On fire" might be a dramatic choice of words. I hope that everyone is safe, whatever is going on. #BREAKING: Kings Island indoor Flight of Fear roller coaster on fire. Warren County crews responding. https://twitter.com/WCPO/status/473540262422003712
June 2, 201412 yr Author Watching it unfold a little. Tons of pizzas and drinks are going back to x-base, presumable for those who may have been on the ride at the time of the incident.

June 2, 201412 yr According to WCPO, three or four fires were reported in the building. Hard to tell based on the article (http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/warren-county/mason/report-kings-island-flight-of-fear-indoor-roller-coaster-catches-fire) What exactly was on fire. I`m fairly certain that Flight of Fear has a sprinkler system, so damage hopefully is minimal. I wonder if it was related to some electrical equipment catching on fire. I am sure we will get some more details soon.

June 2, 201412 yr Author We were just cleared off if the side of coney mall that the trucks are on. A couple more staff members came out looking rough. Sounds like they are cleaning a lot of coney mall out though.
June 2, 201412 yr Lots and lots of kids here at the park today. Hopefully it's just a false alarm pulled by an immature prankster.

Sounds like they are cleaning a lot of coney mall out though. Staff members as in park employees or fire department employees? Also, what do you mean by "rough?"
June 2, 201412 yr Plus they'd clear people out to get the trucks out safely. This incident may be done.
June 2, 201412 yr Could be anything at this point. One would think that the news stations picked up the story from the radio calls, meaning in house fire Dept couldn't handle it. The ambulances responding are just standard practice so those mean nothing.
June 2, 201412 yr Author Park staff, and they are coughing pretty heavily and sweating pretty bad. Some very concerned faces.

June 2, 201412 yr As long as I don't see pictures of the building on fire I'm going to assume the best and that everyone is fine along with the ride.
June 2, 201412 yr Author News chopper flying overhead. They did let us back in the arcade though, so that's good.
June 2, 201412 yr I'm sure the news crews picked it up from the radio. It seems most of them have scanners which monitor police and fire frequencies for anything that might be newsworthy.
