LAKE BUENA VISTA - A ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom is open again after a small fire sent one woman to the hospital with minor injuries.
Disney spokeswoman Andrea Finger says a truck engine at the Kilimanjaro Safari ride caught on fire yesterday afternoon when an engine hose failed. The blaze was mostly out by the time fire officials arrived.
One woman was taken to the hospital after complaining of a knee injury when she jumped from the truck. Three others were treated for minor injuries.
The safari ride was closed as Disney officials inspected all the vehicles. It was reopened again this morning.
The multi-passenger trucks take visitors through various recreated African habitats showing off captive animals. The ride follows a story line that has riders on the truck pretend they are looking for poachers in an African wildlife preserve.
