KI Kidd Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Here is what Don posted on KIC: Today, at approximately 2:40 p.m., the Flight of Fear roller coaster was shut down after smoke was detected inside the ride. Kings Island emergency personnel responded quickly and guests were safely evacuated from the ride and returned to the park. Initial investigations indicate the smoke was caused by an overheated motor. As always, the safety of our guests and associates remains our number one priority.

2012jarrett Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm taking friends tomorrow. Should I assume FoF won't be running? It's unfortunate, I'm really hoping it gets back up and running soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yep, definitely a LIM. I've seen one go up in smoke before. Not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yep, definitely a LIM. I've seen one go up in smoke before. Not pretty. I don't know about premier's but those things seem to get really hot. I noticed how on possessed at dorney they had dozens of fans pointed at the LIMs and you could really feel the hot air coming out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
