No more inferno in Illuminations?(never mind found the answer)

[Shutterbug]

Just got back from Disney. Saw Illuminations 2 nights but no fire. I kept telling our whole party about the big fire. Is the fire gone or just not working those nights?

I did find out why. Too bad, it was one of the fav parts of the show.

It is supposed to be back in Jan. If you didn't know about the fire I think the show is pretty good without it. I was prepared not to like it but did like the new version.

What happened to the fire???

I can't remember exactly what happened, but there was some kind of accident on the barge which damaged it.

From what I found, one of the shells on the barge exploded while they were moving the barge out. It knocked a huge piece of metal way up in the air and then landing in the water. The explosion was heard all over Epcot. There were no injuries but the barge was very damaged.
