Colossus Roller Coaster fire at Six Flags Magic Mountain occurred at the theme park Monday afternoon before firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze. According to USA Today, the Colossus Roller Coaster fire caused part of the ride to collapse.

During the time of blaze, Six Flags Magic Mountain has been closed for a little over three weeks already for renovations, reports KTLA.

Meanwhile, there were no reported injuries since according to the Los Angeles Times, there had been no park visitors when the Colossus Roller Coaster fire broke out.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department was called to the scene at the amusement park which is located next to Interstate 5 in Santa Clarita north of Los Angeles.

According to fire Inspector Scott Miller, the call about the Colossus Roller Coaster fire was reported at 1:32 p.m.

Photos of the incident were instantly posted to Twitter, reports KTLA. The scene of the blaze showed a high rising column of smoke from the ride's highest point.

According to the LA Times, local TV news stations showed aerial shots of the fire crews extinguishing the blaze around 1:50 p.m. As the fire crews responded, a portion of the structure was already collapsing, pieces of the track were seen falling away and caused a huge opening in the track.

Firefighters are visibly struggling to put out the Colossus Roller Coaster fire with water streaming from their hoses.

Miller said firefighters often visit the park for trainings, but they mostly do rescues.

"It's not something you see every day," Miller said of the Colossus Roller Coaster fire.

He added that there seems to be no immediate threat of a further collapse even though the flames tore the top of the ride.

As of the current moment, firefighters are monitoring the damage to the ride. According to the LA Times, firefighters are planning to work with Six Flags officials to determine what to do next.

Meanwhile, multiple reports say the Colossus Roller Coaster fire was extinguished by 2:12 p.m.

Six Flags stated of the incident, "There are no injuries and the fire is contained. Colossus is currently undergoing a transformation and has been closed since August 17."

What started the fire?

Sheriff's officials claim the Colossus Roller Coaster fire began after welders were working on the ride during renovations.

Six Flags also stated on Twitter that contractors had been working on disassembling the ride when the "top of the lift hill" caught fire.

However, it still isn't clear where the crews were before the fire began or what tools they have used, said Fire Department Inspector Rick Flores, as reported by KTLA.

The cause of the Colossus Roller Coaster fire is still under investigation.

The Fire Department's Division 3 said in a tweet that firefighters are now working to "shore up" the ride.

The Colossus Roller Coaster at Six Flags is a popular attraction which drops to 100 feet and can reach speeds of up to 60 mph.

According to USA Today, the 36-year-old wooden roller coaster ride, which opened in 1978, was closed in mid-August. It is now being replaced by a new ride called "Twisted Colossus,'' described as a combined wood and steel structure.

Six Flags in Valencia, Calif. announced the plans to revamp the ride last month, reports the LA Times. Plans of the revamped ride have been slated for next year.

According to the news source, Idaho-based Rocky Mountain Construction is the company set to do the makeover. They were reportedly responsible for converting several wooden coasters into hybrid rides.

Colossus Roller Coaster fire will undoubtedly not stop any sprucing up of the ride. The Colossus was the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster when it opened, and its developers will definitely aim to carry on with the title especially with the new renovations.
