Last night, we broke the news that there was another Disney Skyliner crash at Walt Disney World in the Disney’s Hollywood Studios station. A post from Instagram user nextstopmainstreet showed what appeared to be a collision, and we brought you on-the-ground photos of some of the shattered glass from the scene.
After hours of downtime, crews from Doppelmayr (the third-party designer and builder of the Disney Skyliner system) were able to troubleshoot the problem and get the system back up and running.
Now, Disney is saying that there were no guests in the cabins that collided, and as a result, no injuries (via News 6).
Guests were welcomed back onto the Disney Skyliner gondola system at 8:40pm last night and the system as been running without any reported issues since.
Back in 2019, multiple Disney Skyliner gondola vehicles collided in the Riviera Resort station, leading to evacuations of the system and three guests were sent to the hospital.
Following the 2019 incident, Disney promised to improve communication to guests and adjustments to training processes. Disney has not said what, if anything, they plan to do to prevent more crashes in the future.
