World Drive Closed

Post by Zazu » Wed Apr 22, 2009 11:00 pm

This afternoon, all guests exiting the MK parking lot met a big traffic jam just past the CCC. At the next paved turnaround, all were sent back north to go through the toll plaza, then try to squeeze onto Vista Boulevard. Most ugly.

All I could see from the turnaround was a bus and some flashing lights. Radio reported a vehicle fire.

Anyone know what happened? Please don't tell me we lost another fellow CM to a traffic accident!

To be honast.. it was most likely another Disney ( Nova ) bus.

Damn things catch fire easier then gasoline and a blowtourch....

I heard today that it was an American Coach (company that run the CP buses) bus that went up in flames.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Yup, American Coach caught fire. All CPs and drivers uninjured. Three hours to clear the mess up and get World Drive back open.

This is unrelated to the head on collision with a Watercrafts CM casuality in the early morning hours during Grad Night.

Hey

The last Few Disney buses to burn were a couple of RTS's and a Gillig. We haven't toasted a Nova in quite a while.
