Sad news from Adventureland yesterday.

Adventureland spokeswoman Molly Vincent said the fire was contained to an area known as 'Main Street' inside the park and no one has been injured. The buildings were fully engulfed in flames. They are located near the front entrance to the park near the carousel.

good high res pic. The white thing with the blue tarp on top on the left side is the carousel in the entrance plaza for anyone who's been there. It would be the left hand row of shops I believe as you enter the park. Though I think Bingo is on the right side, but it said the fire started when the ceiling collapsed in the toy shop which I'm pretty sure is on the left. Only shop on the left I can think of is the main gift shop right up at the very front, which i'm not sure is even connected to that huge building.

Oh my goodness! This is terrible! Those buildings look really nice, and right behind is a fire!

Very sad to see this happen. For those that don't know, Disney helped with the design of the main street there and it shows. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet surprising for a park of that size/location. And the bingo parlor with it's old lady employees was the best. I'm glad to see no one was hurt and hope they can rebuild it to it's past glory.

An update, sounds like some bad luck on their part.
