Walt Disney World park-goers were stranded for hours Saturday night aboard the theme park's newly launched aerial cable car system.
Disney Skyliner cable cars became stuck in the air around 8 p.m. Firefighters were called to the Orlando-area theme park, and several guests posted to social media, saying rescues were underway. One photo showed a ladder reaching from a fire truck with a platform extended at the top. Disney said one line of the new system was affected by an "extended outage," but it's not known exactly how many people were stranded.
"It's been cool in here. (The cars) have vents and we've had some wind come through. The seats are hard, so that's been uncomfortable," Loughran said.
Video from Sky 6 showed the Skyliner cars moving again around 11 p.m.
The Skyliner air gondolas opened to visitors last week. The cable cars whisk visitors from hotels to theme parks three stories above the ground while going 11 mph. No more than 10 people are allowed in each cable car.
Disney Skyliner just opened last week officially on September 29th.
