MASON, Ohio -- Fire crews are at Kings Island's Flight of Fear roller coaster for the second time this month.

Crews arrived at approximately 10:45 a.m. Saturday morning for reports of a fire, according to Warren County Emergency dispatchers.

Smoke could be seen over the warehouse where the indoor roller coaster is housed, as shown in the photo above originally posted onto the message board website KICentral.com.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. WCPO HAS A CREW ON ITS WAY TO THE SCENE AND WILL ADD MORE INFORMATION SHORTLY.

I posted a picture in the 2014 thread.

Dah poop. Not again.

~Coolio schoolio~

Ok, I think Firehawk has to go. It is clearly an arsonist.

I rode this yesterday. Wow

A couple weeks ago, one smoking motor was reported as four fires. Initial reports should be taken with a grain of salt.

Flight of Fear is smoking again. I have a friend there he said he can see the smoke and cops are running to it.

Picture sent to me from my friend.

The picture looks like the smoke (possibly fire) is in the exit area. If so, while not good, it's not nearly as bad as it could be.

The launch tunnel is also back there... Difficult to tell where the smoke is rising from.

Always said that ride was a smokin fun ride.

edit: wonder what it looks like from the tower?

Cheech & Chong: The Ride

They should move a Sausage Food Cart over there by it and perhaps it wouldn't look too suspicious.

Fire is the great enemy of amusement parks.

You'll have to pardon me while I ditch the humor and hope and pray everyone is safe and the ride is not damaged.

edit: post removed

Sigh.

Can we wait to see what is going on?

The media WILL turn here. This is what you want them to see?

Really?

I didn't see any pictures from the last smoke incident. Does this look the same or is there more visible smoke this time around?

Perhaps KI should have put Firechaser Express in the park instead of that other new ride for this year.

::hangs head::

Where there is smoke there is not always fire. Case in point, this same ride less than two weeks ago.

My understanding was that last time the smoke was contained in the launch track and sort of filled the ride building. This time, it's rising up above it. That could mean the smoke is no different from last time, but it's being ventilated... Or something's different.

The humor won't be fondly recalled if the ride is damaged or - God forbid - someone is hurt.

Too bad the media didn't turn here before reporting four fires last time the motor smoked.

Actually, this entire thread should be removed because it's speculation.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer report:

"A fire has been reported at Flight of Fear at Kings Island for the second time this month. Here's a picture from the June 2 fire."

While factually true it is the second report it is not true that is a picture from the June 2 fire. There was no fire.

APE's photo is infamous already as shown on WCPO's website...

AND...they copyrighted it in sorts...or so the disclaimer throws one off.

It's his friend's photo. Wonder how they're crediting that... Or IF.

You have to expand the caption...which I didn't do at first. They credit KICentral.

I don't remember seeing reports of smoke outside of the ride building last time.

I requested they give credit to the proper person.
