The Molly Brown Riverboat in Disneyland Paris reportedly caught fire yesterday and is now closed. Disneyland Paris fansite OutsidEars tweeted about the fire:

L’indisponibilité des pièces entrainerait une fermeture d’au moins 6 mois de cette attraction mythique de Disneyland Paris.

Here is an approximate translation of the tweets:

Following a fire that started late yesterday morning at the electrical panel of the generator of the Molly Brown, the boat could be quite damaged. Evacuation of the attraction and fire extinguishing was carried out by DLP Fire Rescue.

Unavailability of parts could lead to a closure of at least 6 months of this mythical attraction of Disneyland Paris.

ED92, another Disneyland Paris fansite, later shared that Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing is closed until September 16, 2020.

Disney has blocked off the landing and placed a “currently unavailable” sign in front of the attraction. You can watch our POV of a ride on the Molly Brown Riverboat below:
