Breakdown Causes Mass Chaos on Disney’s Skyliner

Ride breakdowns happen all of the time; they are an inevitable part of every theme park experience. While most ride breakdowns mean waiting some extra time in line or pausing mid-ride, a breakdown of the Disney Skyliner can be a much more serious situation.

Of all the places to get stuck, dangling in the hot Florida air in an unairconditioned plastic box is not the ideal place to be. Numerous Guests who have experienced breakdowns on the Skyliner explain that it is a brutal experience. However, for one Guest on a recent trip, their experience quickly went from bad to worse.

Guest is Burned After Skyliner Incident

One Guest has taken to Facebook to share his horrific story about being stuck on the Skyliner for over an hour earlier this week. This group was on the gondola when the ride stopped for over an hour, leaving them stranded in the Florida heat. The Guests were instructed to open ice packs to help keep them cool, and upon doing so, an ice pack “blew up and burnt” the Guest’s hand.

After they were finally off the ride, the group went to Guest services, where they were given nothing more than one extra lightning lane reservation. The post reads;

Edit:

UPDATE! Went to guest services. They only offered us a lighting lane for one ride in one park. When we told her the lady was laughing and said “I don’t mean to laugh but that’s a crazy funny situation” and she keep cutting me off just saying “what ride do you want.” Oh well. Pretty bugged but nothing to do I guess.”

This story is truly shocking, and hopefully, these Guests end up being properly compensated.
