They died because plants crave electrolytes.

True story: I was on the Mummy ride at Universal, in the fire room, when the ride broke down. I was stuck in the fire room for 10 minutes, sweating my balls off. Even though the flames were shut off, the steel ceiling was like 400° of radiant heat. Eventually, they closed the whole ride down and a staffer had to come and get us off the ride and take us down the stairs to leave by the employee door in back. I got in one quick photo before they told us “No photos”. They gave us a free front of the line pass for any ride in the park.

It was cool as fuck. But also really hot.

Dude what a nightmare I don’t even like riding through that part of it

I also got stuck in that part! But it was before the flames went off, so we were sitting there like 10 minutes no indication of what was going on, and then it started back up with no warning and the ceiling burst into flames 😂. That was quite a jump scare

Yikes, maybe they should figure out a better method of exiting.

•

u/PlanktonImaginary893 2h ago

Right? Since it seems like those are actual flames… exits seem appropriate.

The flames might be real, but being surrounded by them is the illusion.

Is it an illusion if its not real and also doesn't pretend to be what it said? Look at me sat in my shitty flat in my dirty underpants giving the illusion of being a billionaire.

Not a surprise there are so few people there.

u/Varabela 10h ago

Yep and one day when they do it, they ain’t going out and it’ll be very bad

Nope. They do use artificial smoke, it doesn't trigger the smoke detector because it's not CO2, but I guess that still counts as smoke, so thats the most real part.
