Disney World's Skyliner Swings Back Into Action
Disney's (NYSE: DIS) aerial gondola system returned to action on Monday, nine days after Disney World's new mode of transportation experienced a malfunction that stranded guests for roughly three hours. Disney's Skyliner was open for less than a week before the headline-generating accident.
The leading theme park operator paid a heavy price at the time of the incident, handing out hundreds of dollars in compensation to each inconvenienced rider in the form of gift cards and park tickets. Disney's reputation is probably paying an even heavier price. The new scenic way to get around two of Disney World's four theme parks and several of its hotels has been closed longer than it's been open, and it's going to take months of consistent uptime before guests forget about the mishap that resulted in a rough night for hundreds of visitors.
