Paint the Night fire - Ariel float malfunction

[ShoeCello]

Seeing reports of Ariel's float catching on fire during tonight's showing of PTN. Anyone there or have more details?

Here's a short video from Twitter:

I was just coming here to see if anyone knew anything. I wasn't there but DisneyScoopGuy is pretty accurate.

I'm just seeing reports that the everyone was evacuated safely and the float was towed backstage.

Maybe they’ll bring back the Incredibles float?

I watched a stream of the second parade. They cut Monsters, Ariel and Donald-Minnie-Pluto & Mickey floats. Also, most dancers were cut. Just Jessie dancing on her own for Toy Story. Many characters cut too. No Olaf or Peter Pan.

An Ariel float caught on fire during Disneyland's Paint The Night show? How did that happen? I hope Disneyland doesn't suspend Paint The Night performances due to what happened like they did with the Fantasmic show when the dragon caught on fire. What I think might've happened was that fireworks might've interfered with the float and caused sparks. Hope they find out what the cause was soon

Maybe the stress got to Ariel and she took a quick smoke when nobody was looking? And things got out of control?

Apparently, the old Incredibles float was repurposed into the new Coco float in the new WDW nighttime parade.

Wow, that sucks! I actually liked it!

I just saw something on Facebook about this. Wonder how future parades will happen. Just without the LM float?

Has the Frozen float been MIA as well? Or was that a one time thing?
