To be fair, even Cast Members are puzzled by how this will work. But then again, it has everything to do with the possibility of having no A/C and the slow speeds of the gondolas. Disney is keen when it comes to safety. Nothing to worry about, all you need is a spray bottle in hand and some patience.

Why would Cast Members know anything?

I didn’t say they could not. You are the one claiming that Cast Members not know about a system they have not been trained on gives credence to these concerns.

Do you have to pay extra for the "rappelling upgrade"?

I worked a few months at WDW and this was the hot topic, still is. Do I know their sources? No. Could be a fellow bus driver dropping a bunch of ridiculous false information but that’s just a nugget of information that has been discussed. In a few months, we’ll know the true capabilities behind the gondolas.

We do know the system’s capabilities because it is a known product. It a Doppelmayr D-Line, the latest model from one of the industry leaders and several generations removed from the old Von Roll Type 101s that is at SeaWorld San Diego and was at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom.

That’s reasonable. But you had earlier said you’d rather be in an accident on a bus than a break down on the skyliner.
Me personally I’d probably really like to get stuck on a monorail. I probably bet that there would be many people who’d pay to experience being stuck on a monorail as well.

Evac's are high on mine and many others bucket list. When I saw the story this morning I was really envious of those on the chairlift. Harness evac with added repelling, heck yeah!

SeaWorld San Diego: 16 rescued after being stuck on the Bayside Skyride
Sixteen people seated in five gondolas were rescued Monday night after being trapped on SeaWorld's Bayside Skyride over the Mission Bay for several hours.www.cbs8.com
SeaWorld gondolas failure. From reports breakers were tripped due to unusually cold frost conditions and a burst of wind. That’s ok it is never frosty or suddenly windy in Orlando.
I was going to start a thread on that but you beat me to it. I can't say I didn't think of Disney's gondola system when I saw this. To be clear, I'm not pooh poohing Disney's gondola but, come on, anyone on this forum who saw this story would probably immediately think of Disney's gondola system one way or the other.

Plus, Disney's further south.Yeah because a non-Doppelmayr system built in 1967 is going to operate exactly like a brand new 2019 installation from a company that designed these to operate on the side of mountains... where it can get quite windy and chilly.
