I’d rather be in a bus accident than stranded in the sky for hours on end. To each his own.
How did they eventually get everyone down?

You would rather be in an accident where you could be injured or killed as opposed to simply inconvenienced and possibly stressed?

Yes because I’m pretty sure I would be injured or killed by the heart attack I would have
Disney removed their similar Skyride years ago. Saying Disney has to worry about the Gondola because of what happened at Seaworld is crazy. It is Six Flags Great Adventure that has to worry. If the news is correct and the cold has something to do with it, any skyride in the north has to be concerned.

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.
It's like you didn't even read the article you posted. The report says high winds were to blame, not a "burst of wind" nor does it mention anything about air temps.
Something you never see at airports anymore. Buying a policy like that is as foolish as buying an extended service agreement on your electronic device.

I’m not buying that new big screen tv because my 50 year old tv in the other room has all kinds of problems.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Oh I totally agree. I’m just saying I would personally rather break down on a bus. That’s just me though.

What I find most interesting about the issue was the cause. A gust of wind tripped a breaker. Would the Disney version have a similar safety system?

A power outage by itself does not typically require a rope evacuation. Something must have happened (or not happened!) with the backup system as well. Sounds like SeaWorld’s evacuation plan is “call the fire department.”

The vast majority of the Skyliner can be reached with a Genie lift. A pontoon boat with a scissor lift can reach the over water parts and Reedy Creek Emergency Services has a new truck to reach the high points over Caribbean Beach.

You're not really this dense, are you?
Also, those 'frost conditions' with the temp in the 50s. Explain how that works.
Oh, you're just sensationalizing. Got it.
