Travisma 1,317 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 This must be a hidden ride for the Elite Club 33 Members! News1816 August 2020 (CNN-News18 is an Indian English-language news television channel founded by Rajdeep Sardesai located in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. It is currently owned by Network 18. CNN provides international coverage for the channel, while Indian Broadcasting Network concentrates on Indian and local reports. Wikipedia) Florida’s Walt Disney World opened to the public for the first time in four months in July after four months of closure and amid a surge of coronavirus cases in the state. But bad luck seems to be following the mega theme park as within months, the park has had to close one its Star Trek themed rides recently after it got struck by lightning. The ride named 'Rise of Resistance' was temporarily shut down after a massive bolt of lightning struck the park premises. The incident occurred at the park's 'Galaxy's Edge' arena, which is Star Trek themed. Passers by captured the exact moment when the lightning struck a ride inside the Disney Hollywood Studio. A video of the flash, captured by Twitter user Austin shows a broad streak of light hitting Disney World Resort. Others also shared similar videos. Starting in January, Disney closed theme parks around the world to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. Disney reopened the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom on July 11 and Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15 along with new coronavirus guidelines. And I thought everything on the interweb was true!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThemeParkCommando 81 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 LOL.. I wonder how long it will take for them to publish a correction? I'm sure that reporter is getting an earful from Star Wars fans everywhere. Reminds me of this ( watch at least the first minute) Shatner at Lucas' roast fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 OMG that's hilarious!! First rule of everything... never confuse Star WARS with Star TREK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'd be careful if I were them. It's bad enough insulting one of the Trekkie or Star Wars fan groups but both at the same time would have me paying for some extra security and looking for a ride to the International Space Station until it was safe to return.
