Collision Causes People To Be Evacuated Off Disney Skyline Gondolas Days After Opening

I mean, I can understand it
they give them 4 day park hopper but what if it's their last day on vacation? They have no money left?
They can't up and pay for everything.
Disney probably knows this.
$100 gift card is like 3-4 countries at Food & Wine
According to a friend who has been to Walt Disney World told me apparently air conditioning is like a foreign concept to Disney because WDW has non-existent air conditioning in many areas so she told me that it wasn't surprising to her to read the article reporting that the Skyliner gondolas has no air conditioning in it.
You can't be serious, haha.
Honestly (and you dont know me, so wouldn't have any idea), i would take the deal offered, smiling. I LOVE disney theme parks. Been part of my life on a nearly annual basis since I was a wee lad.
And because I live near a Disney park (land), a 4 day hopper alone would be welcome - I know how valuable they are, i.e. equivalent to an annual pass (come to think of it, why not offer an annual pass then?)
But then I thought (a) that's not how you negotiate, Iceman.. always reject the first offer (Michael Scott, Somehow I Manage), (b) what about the people who have to travel a long ways to patron a park? One of the biggest expenses is the lodging.
*and give them a parking pass as well while we're at it, for pity's sake.
What the fuck do you own stock in the park or are you just someone with no job so you don't understand the concepts of paid time off and paying for vacations?
Clearly, I have no job, lol what a dumb comment. I think a 4 day park ticket and $100 is ample compensation.
Yeah you clearly don't because you don't understand that you can't just tack on 4 days to a ticket for a place you already had a horrible time at.
It's actually worse than that because you don't understand the concepts under which normal people live.
If the 3+ hour time waiting to be rescued results in finally getting off the ride AFTER Walt Disney World closes to the general public, what should be the compensation then???
I would want a full refund of that day's admission because I couldn't get on any other rides for 3+ hours because I was stuck on the Skyliner gondola ride.

Lol what do you expect then? 500k and a cameo in the next Marvel movie? Get a grip, they were stuck in a ride for a few hours.
I assume it's because of the accessible loading at the stations mucking things up. These systems are touchy enough as is and having to accommodate that was definitely going to add complications. I was pretty surprised Disney built a system like this at all, these continually moving systems don't make sense for the general public in a post ADA world
i love Jenny but i would hope/expect Disney of all companies is checking on the integrity of these kits more than once a week
There's literally a lawyer from Disney waiting at the end of every incident with an NDA in my experience. For something like this they will take care of everything for the guests affected.
That sucks.
If I were stuck up there, I would want a refund and not extra tickets and gift cards unless they don't expire.
What if it was my last day of my vacation and I need to go back to work?

The Skyliner is not a ride, it is part of the Disney transportation service. You are outside of the parks while traveling the Skyliner. It only connects two parks as well, Hollywood Studios & Epcot. The rest are resorts. A full refund for what parks admission? You already left the park.
Wait what? WDW has air conditioning practically everywhere in my experience and it's generally super cold.
Agreed. The WDW busses as an example are always ice cold from their AC
Holy shit this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, you say this like maximum weight capacity is inconsequential and would somehow be overlooked in transportation engineering.
This happened literally at the end of the day, after everyone stuck almost certainly enjoyed a full day at the resort. A refund doesn't make sense.
The extra tickets and gift card likely don't expire. Disney has famously honored Park hoppers like decades later.
Even if it was the last day of a vacation, it's time paid for the next time those people decide to go to Disney World.
The emergency kits had something for that apparently.
Your trying to be logical these people think their entire vacation should be paid for

These types of posts I'll never understand. It's the same type of post as "oh man I was in the next town over from there 5.5 months ago, that could've been me who got stabbed." Like I don't really get why you're reacting so much to an event with an extremely small chance of reoccurring, let alone occurring when it affects you.
Just enjoy your holiday my dude.
This is tacky as shit tbh. I thought mods didn't really appreciate digging up user history to attack them, but we'll see if the mods do anything here I guess.

It's why I hardly post here. dog piling is ridiculous. It's deadly when it's one sided either on the left or right. That's never healthy.
Anyway I am at disneyworld past week and the Gondolas were working for a few days but they are still down due to whats happened.
Some follow-up news on this from earlier today:
