    At which park did the heated blanket cause a fire? what does a theme park in Iowa or Ohio have to do with WDW or DL?

    1. Cloe

      Right? What a crap article

      1. DMD

        AGREE! Lots of Crap articles lately. And many have nothing to do WDW or Disneyland CA…..usually written by the same few “writers”

        1. Jan

          My thoughts exactly.

      Not event a heated blanket, a blanket that was caught on fire by heating (probably one of those portable propane heaters)

      “he said it appears some temporary heating caught a blanket on fire”

      1. Michelle

        That’s what I thought too. Poor reporting.

      2. Alicia

        Exactly: “it appears some temporary heating caught a blanket on fire.” That’s not a heated blanket — that’s a space heater or something.

      😆 it’s a brand new theme park being added on to an existing water park in Waterloo, Iowa. I’m near that area and I’m just as surprised to see it mentioned on here, but just goes to show that it’s in with the big leagues! Can’t wait to visit when it’s done – it’s certainly going to a lot cheaper than a day at Disney!

      Not to mention, it was a heater near a blanket, not a “heated blanket”, which would imply one of those electric blankets.

    nice reporting

    This sounds like it was written by a highschooler for their school newspaper. Why does the first paragraph need to tell me what a fire is and that they can be damaging and deadly?

      Gotta get those word counts up for SEO

    Look how upset people got reading an article!? Sucks to be them…

      Why because we expect and have a higher standard for our reporting to be coherent and sound like an adult wrote it for a major publication? Don’t know about your job, but if I were this poor at my job I’d be fired. It’s like a 5th grader wrote this article.

      If anything I’d return with a “sucks to be you” since you clearly don’t want better from your fellow humans.

    We’re at the point where we all know that at least the first paragraph is going to be useless garbage filter, and probably the second as well. So we scroll as fast as we can to the useful information. You have to realize we do this. So why not just put the useful information up top and fill in the bottom with your mindless SEO filler? Like seriously, a paragraph of useful info followed by randomly generated words would be more appreciated at this point.

    It wasn’t a heated blanket.. the people who write these articles don’t even read the source material. It was a blanket caught on fire by a heater.

  7. Shannon

    I’m glad I read the comments, I was so confused because this article makes no mention of any blanket. It did, however, spend plenty of space explaining why fire=bad

  8. DisneyNotBurning

    Whew! Nice ro know it wasn’t a Dianey Park that caught on fire consider ing the first two paragraphs and associated pictures were of Disney Parks. Thw article had nothing to do with ant Disney Parks. Deception and poorly written.

  9. Kari

    Wow! Fantasticly absurd luring with that title and then direct contradiction in your own stated article against the title. You must be a great journalist!

    Seriously, a 5th grader writes better homework submissions than this dreck. C’mon, have a higher standar for yourself to go back over your work for coherency, as well as have the brain power to realize your own contradictions. A heated blanket IS NOT the same thing as a blanket that caught on fire from a heater.

    This writer needs to be fired, she routinely is wrong. Her articles are written like a 12 year old with incorrect facts.
