Least we forget those souls stranded above the earth below for 8 hours straight 4 years ago

Wow the Skyliner is 4 years old and needs refurbishment.

Those haul ropes take a lot of stress. I believe Doppelmayr suggests replacing the haul rope every 20,000 operating hours and if the Skyliner is in operation ~14 hours a day, ~365 days a year, 20,000 hours would occur right around the 4 year mark.

If you go by definition:
Repair means to restore by replacing or putting together what is torn or broken, to restore to a sound or healthy state. Refurbish is to brighten or freshen up. Overhaul is to repair, to renovate, remake, revise.
It sounds more like an overall/repair

By that definition, isn't every time a ride at Disney goes down for refurbishment also a repair (or at least that is what we are hoping? ... to fix broken effects, upgrade control systems, fix animatronics)?

Happy to hear the under seat broilers work once again. Thanks to the non-winter this year, 4 guests have already been slow-roasted.
