Huge fire breaks out at Disney World’s Epcot theme park forcing visitors to flee new ride as vid shows plumes of smoke
DISNEY'S Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida, has caught fire and sent a huge plume of black smoke into the sky.
The blaze led to the evacuation of the Remy's Ratatouille Adventure ride as the fumes raised up near the replica Eiffel Tower.
The fire at Walt Disney World Resort on Saturday was caused by a walk-in cooler that caught alight, a representative from Disney said.
The walk-in cooler was housed behind the France Pavilion in a backstage area.
The pavilion is part of the World Showcase at the resort's Epcot theme park.
The blaze was quickly extinguished, and there were no injuries.

The pavilion reopened to theme park guests in the early evening.
