Fire in Ferris wheel car at Dinosaur Planet

Fire in Ferris wheel car at Dinosaur Planet

A fire broke out on a Ferris wheel car at Dinosaur Planet on Sukhumvit Soi 22 in Bangkok yesterday afternoon but no one was injured.

The fire, which started at 2.55pm amid the rainfall, damaged one empty car of the five-storey ride. 
The park refunded visitors and temporarily closed for the day. Police are investigating the cause of fire. 
Park executive Vinij Lertratanachai later said the Ferris wheel in question, wasn’t in use at the time. It had been inactive for 30 minutes earlier due to heavy rainfall, and the affected car was empty because its door was under repair and the fire might have been caused by a short circuit, as rainwater leaked into the air-conditioner and electrical systems. The dinosaur theme park officially opened late March, after more than Bt500 million was spent on the venture.
