Avatab.... Steve 124 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It would be even better if they would announce new monorail beams being constructed to AK and HS. But at least they are maintaining the ones they have and not replacing them with even more buses.... yet.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnJen 777 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I saw this posted a couple of hours ago. If you are at WDW, please stay away from the monorails, as they have been hit by lightning and will be down for the rest of the evening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Breezy2 18 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 They also shut down the small boats yesterday afternoon before the storm hit the area just as we were trying to get back to the Fort. We got as far as Wilderness Lodge. They have a 10 mile lightning strike rule. Assuming the new Gondolas will operate under the same rule. The Weather Bug App really comes in handy when you are trying to track lightning distance and navigate around Disney. You can get a jump on the rest of the crowd when it comes to using the buses. Couldn't believe they didn't send those people on the dock into the Lodge for safety instead told them to wait for a "bigger boat" as they watched the smaller boat captains drive off to a safe harbor. IMHO if the lightning is that close and they shut down the small boats they need to get the people off the docks. Florida's lightning needs to be taken seriously. I've got security camera pictures of it hitting a tree in my yard when it was 10 miles away, not a drop of rain falling, blue sky and the rain clouds off in the distance. Scary-I've got a whole new respect for those warnings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the masses were still walking around the rest of the park being moving targets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
