We recently reported that some Disney Skyliner gondolas crashed into each other.

We are currently at the Disney Skyliner station at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re here to give you some more updates on the situation.
We arrived at the Skyliner station and the gondolas were not moving.

When we arrived, there was still a line of people waiting for the Skyliner.

Cast Members encouraged guests to take the buses or the boats to their next destination.

Skyliner Line
We then walked over the bus stations to see what the crowds and lines were like. We visited the station for Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort which is along the Skyliner and is home to the Skyliner hub where each line meets.

The line was pretty long especially compared to some of the other resorts, but it was not too overwhelming.

Skyliner Wait Time
Whew! It has been a whirlwind of a night with the Disney Skyliner, but if you plan on using it in the near future, it looks like it will be up and running. We recently did a DFB video on Handling Emergencies and Evacuations in Disney World, which has some really good information in there for incidents like this one. You can check it out below!

Interesting… this is the 2nd occurrence of a sky liner incident.
Anyone else feel like these this skyliner system won’t be around very long?
Not for me!
Are Disney buses crowded?
I adore the Sky Liner, and am happy this issue was resolved quickly. Nothing is perfect, so this kind of thing can be expected from time to time, but I hope it is very infrequent!
Love the skyliner!!! Traveled on it many times without incident. A couple of glitches are to be expected and considering the number of people utilizing this system on a daily bases, the glitches are few and far between. I will absolutely continue to enjoy the skyliner!!!
The Skyliner is basing on the safest and most reliable mode of transportation. Cable cars around the world are used in the harshest conditions.
Cable cars are not new to Disney, but modern technology often is (no front).
I love the Skyliner, Monorail etc. in the Disney parks, they add such a great variety to the Parks.
We do need more of them.
Steve, they’re typically trying to fill every seat, but sections are divided by plexiglass, and there’s no standing allowed. Overall it does not feel crowded.
