Hey guys, today was the last day of the parks current season, and it will be one to remember, just not in a good way.
Bullet is looking good this morning.
Bringing its first passengers of the day back down to Earth.
As you can see the park have completed their new coaster and itis currently in testing.
At about 12:00 I saw this on Bullet, just after it had launched a train. At first I just assumed it was a new effect the park had added to the launch. I went over to take a closer look & hopefully some pictures of the new effect.
But when I got there I realised that something was majorly wrong.
That's right, the launch track had gone completely up in flames! I was highly surprised at this as I've never heard of it happening before on any other Intamin Accelerators.
The park team were very quick in dealing with the emergency though, as they evacuated the park, and within about 20 minutes they had the fire put out.
Once the area had been declared safe, I was allowed in to take some photos of the aftermath of the fire.
As you can see the launch track, cable trough & supports have been blackened by the fire.
Goodbye for another closed season, Leisure Hills, Lets hope your feeling better for the start of next season.
Aaron Clark.
