Riders were evacuated and there are no reported injuries. The fire broke out on the outer part of the attraction, not the train itself.

The fire was reported at 10:20 pm ET and was extinguished by firefighters around 11 pm. The ride re-opened around midnight. Officials say fallout fireworks may have caused the fire, WKMG reports.

The ride, a family-friendly rollercoaster, opened on May 28 as part of the park's New Fantasyland, which is the largest expansion in the park's history.
