I don't know if it's possible to detect these things with the scanning Universal does, but I'm completely okay with banning them from the parks.

If you're going to ban them, you'll need to ban cigarettes and everything that uses a battery.

lmao e-cigs exploding, that's been an event since they were created, no? Like that happens quite frequently.

In no way does this have to do with Hogwarts Express other than it happening on Hogwarts Express. It probs would've exploded anyways.

Poorly made electronics are poorly made electronics.

What exactly explodes in an e-cigarette?

The ecig is powered by tiny Note 7's

 

[Disneyhead]

E-cigs are dangerous. That's why I sticking with the old analog version.

My uncle had an ECig explode on him in our house. It didn't seriously injure anyone thankfully, however, there's still a black streak from it above our backdoor. They can and do have a tendency to overheat and subsequently explode.

Sorry to sound selfish, but I wonder if it did any damage to the compartment...

Nothing that can't be fixed with a simple flick of a wand.

I heard it burned a hole in the seat. Seems weird the ride was closed for the whole day because of this though ... its not like it was a mechanical failure. Glad it didn't happen on my shift. I'd have wondered what the big flash was on the monitor

Would've been a fun party story.

just add it to the list of things universal needs to ban along side selfie sticks and go-pros.

 

[anihilnation]

I think people just keep their e-cig on and put it in their pocket so they can take a quick puff.

Its one of the main news stories on the BBC in the UK. E-cigarette 'shoots fireball' on Universal Studios Hogwarts ride - BBC News Nice random picture of Richard Gere on the Hogwarts Express too

 

[OLSinFLA]

Just tell everyone it was a small Fiend Fire that got out of control. LOL

 

[deathcab4cutie]

or you could say that universal was testing a new effect either way
