The Sea to Sky Gondola in British Columbia is ahead of it’s repair schedule after a wire was deliberately cut, crippling the system in September.
  • The Sea to Sky Gondola was in the news this week for receiving their replacement cable early, as well as for ramping up security. Located in British Columbia, in August the Sea to Sky Gondola haul rope wires were deliberately cut while under tension. This caused the ropes to separate and send about 30 gondola cabins to the ground. An investigation said there were no defects with either the haul rope or its design.
  • Despite a breakdown in September after its initial opening, the Disney Skyliner has already served its one-millionth guest. The new Walt Disney World gondola transportation system has nearly 300 cabins and connects multiple theme parks and hotels. Florida’s Walt Disney World is the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an average of over 52 million visitors a year.
