Park guests were riding the roller coaster at the time of the fire, but a Disney spokesman said no one was injured.

The fire was difficult to access, but once equipment was set up, flames were quickly extinguished, a Reedy Creek Emergency Services official said.

Reports indicate that the ride reopened around midnight and is expected to be open on Sunday
