Guests stuck for hours on Disney's New 'Skyliner' Cable Car Transport System
Disney's newest addition to their transportation system which only opened 29 September 2019 seems to have suffered a power outage which appears to have left some guests stuck for more than 2 hours.
Guests stuck in their gondolas were instructed to use the emergency kits located beneath the seats, the emergency kit includes water and cooling pads. Reports are saying that one of the gondolas departing the Riviera Resort station became stuck causing gondolas behind to pile up which then caused a shut down of the system. The Reedy Creek Fire department were quickly on site with cherry pickers to start evacuating guests stuck in the air. There doesn't seem to have been any reports of injuries.

Can you imagine being stuck in a pod in the blistering heat for more than 15 minutes. You would be cooked like a chicken.

I guess you could say if it was going to happen it was best during night fall. I would honestly say if you were stuck in one for 3 hours during the heat of summer people would die, I don't think that is an over exaggeration.

They are vented (top vents and also behind/beneath the seats) and they have emergency water/cooling pads inside (if needed).
It may be uncomfortable and not particularly nice in the heat, but I think death is a bit OTT. Disney could think about "I survived the Skyliner.." t-shirts as a spin off |

The only way these pods get air through them is if they are moving, the passive air keeps them at the same temperature as outside. If they stop no air will pass through and the temperature will rise. Mickey Views on YouTube we did a test the outside temperature was 87, when the pod was moving it was the same inside. It stopped for 3 minutes and it went up to 90. The pods are like a greenhouse, I wouldn't like to guess how hot it would get in 3 hours.

Have you actually ridden on one ? When we was stuck for an hour last week it was raining outside at 7pm so no bright sunshine and overcast and it got incredibly hot inside the cabin as no breeze etc. I wont get on one again.
