My understanding is the ones over water on epcot line would be a zipline evac.
ok, anyone other than me wishing it breaks down while I’m over tha canal and I get to zip line Disney!?

Get to zipline and get compensated for it.....that's winning all around if you ask me.ok, anyone other than me wishing it breaks down while I’m over tha canal and I get to zip line Disney!?
Put me down for November 15th
According to two people on the board that were involved, the system was down for a good 10 minutes, before the incident occurred. Not exactly a "brief moment."
And, this incident aside, there have been many reports in the days prior, of many down times - some as long as 30+ minutes. So why so much downtime for a brand new system? A minute or two here and there as people have loading issues, sure. But multiple downtimes lasting 10-30+ minutes shouldnt be happening in the first week, let alone a crash. So to me it seems like there's a bigger picture to be looked at than this one incident.

Wisdom of the crowd.Ok let’s not make this a guessing game. They will open them when they are ready.
Anyone want to start a pool for when the Skyliner re-opens? Pick a date, closest to the actual date wins Internet bragging points.

I am sure that depends on what the actual cause is. Only Disney and Dopplemayr would have that answer. I am sure they will do everything possible to prevent it.Besides all of the opening speculation, does anybody know if they can actually prevent what happened from happening again?
My guess from all of the stories I've heard is that the gondola just didn't grab the cable leading out of the station and got stuck. I'm not sure if there is a way to prevent this without changing how they're hung.I am sure that depends on what the actual cause is. Only Disney and Dopplemayr would have that answer.

Even if it's not possible keep a gondola from ever getting stuck, there has to be a way to prevent the rest of the gondolas from crashing into the stuck one.My guess from all of the stories I've heard is that the gondola just didn't grab the cable leading out of the station and got stuck.

You would think they would have sensors that could tell the teal car hadn't left the station and that should have triggered a fail safe shutting down the system.Even if it's not possible keep a gondola from ever getting stuck, there has to be a way to prevent the rest of the gondolas from crashing into the stuck one.
Is it possible that the teal car had juuuuuuust barely passed that sensor before getting stuck, so the system thought all was well? I have no idea where the sensor would be located, or whether there might be two, one just before and one just after the critical point where the gondola rejoins the cable. To me, it would make sense to have two, so that if it passes one point, but not the other within x number of seconds, everything shuts down. But I have No idea how it’s set up.You would think they would have sensors that could tell the teal car hadn't left the station and that should have triggered a fail safe shutting down the system.
Wow! That's incredible! Glad neither were badly hurt in that. Great rescue. Thanks for posting!Small plane gets caught in ski lift cables after crash in Italian Alps A pilot and passenger were reportedly unharmed after their small plane crashed into a ski lift on Sunday.www.foxnews.com

Agreed and they have new systems with battery backup that prevent any outage whatsoever. I would hope on a system like this where they really require it to run to get people off I would hope they are using a battery backup. This is what Australia worked on with Tesla to handle their power issues.
