A somewhat similar process is used at many Disney attractions, it's common for 1-2 the cast members at each attraction to "ride down" the attraction, boarding just after the last day guests so they know the attraction is clear and check for any show issues.

Well they missed one. The Yeti appears to not be moving.

Wasn't Gerald Ford eaten by wolves?

And then there's my friend who was a bellhop at Tower of Terror and was accidentally "advanced" beyond Unload and got stuck sitting in the darkness of the Unload floor between Unload and the Load lift shafts... (Though this was during pre-opening. Eventually someone heard him yelling and they advanced that side until he arrived back at the boiler room)

Because here's the footer for a gondola pole by the flower bed by France opposite the IG..
On the IG side, I think there's now a standing pole (or it might be a pile driver at rest).
On the Boardwalk turning station, they're still pushing dirt and water around.
That’s right!Because here's the footer for a gondola pole by the flower bed by France opposite the IG..

Yeah, Boardwalk required part of the retention pond to be filled in.
Oh, boy... the entire Skyliner will be a huge lighting attraction system. Can't wait for those fireworks!

These things are used to go up mountains where there can be very high winds. During a hurricane the cars will be taken on the cable. The towers should have any problem and the cables provide a very small surface for the wind to blow against.

I know folks get concerned but we wouldn't be getting these things if those in charge didn't deem them appropriate. You won't be riding these in a hurricane. No one needs to angst over these things. You can find a potential problem in anything and everything in life if you look hard enough.
Unless of course it's an upcharge event, a keg in each gondola that swings and sways in the 100+ mph winds, and bonus points if it snaps off and you go flying into that alligator infested swamp. Nothing beats that! Think of it as a more thrilling monorail drinking and resort tour

... especially when you consider that this isn't some cutting edge technology developed by or specifically for Disney. This is proven technology that is being used all over the world and is being provided by one of the top companies in the field.
