Back in 2019, there was an accident where some Disney World Skyliner gondolas crashed into each other. Yesterday evening, some Skyliner gondolas crashed into each other again.
Disney Skyliner
We shared some live updates from the crash, news about some guests that were stuck following the crash, and updates about when the Skyliner began moving again. Now, Disney has made a few statements about the recent incident.
According to Orlando’s News 6, Disney officials have said that “nobody was in the cabins [involved] in the incident and nobody was injured.”

In case you missed it, yesterday some Skyliner gondolas crashed at the Disney’s Hollywood Studios station, and some glass shattered.
When we visited the station last night, at first the gondolas were not moving and people were waiting in line for the gondolas. The guests were then encouraged to take buses or boats to get to their next destination.
Line for Skyliner
Some guests were stuck in the Skyliner during this time. After a little bit of time, the Skyliner started moving again and it opened back up to guests.
Skyliner Wait Time
Again, this isn’t the first time that an incident has happened with the Skyliner. There was a previous crash in 2019 and earlier this year some guests got stuck in the Skyliner for quite some time due to weather concerns.
During previous incidents, we’ve also gotten a look at what’s included in the emergency packs in the Skyliner before (and given our thoughts on what SHOULD have been included in there).

I wasn’t evacuated but I was on the Haunted Mansion as a young preteen when the ride stopped. My mom was riding with my sister, my dad with my brother and I was alone in a solo doom buggy. The ride stopped right as my buggy faced the hallway with doors bending as things tried to break out
we didn’t evacuate but it was a long pause….
I wonder if the guests who were stranded/delayed while inroute were provided a stipend like previous guests were involved in a delay…
It sounds like the gondola s are still new how does it move that close to each other . Isn’t there some thing to separate so they do not bump each other . This is a design problem Disney’s needs to fix before some one gets really hurt .
