Disney World Guests Trapped in Leaky Monorail Silver for Over Two Hours

Another day, another Disney monorail breakdown.

For the second time this week, another of Disney’s aging monorails has broken down and left Guests stranded. This time it was Monorail Silver.

We can’t say that the Guests were left “high and dry” as Silver was also leaking from the heavy rain.

From WDWNT…

Monorail Silver lost power while on that line heading to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Guests were left stranded above the EPCOT parking lot, not far from the EPCOT Monorail Station. Power was eventually restored to the Monorail, however it still required the Monorail line maintenance vehicle to tow it in.

DisTwitter, of course, is not surprised.

Nor are the Disney Guests who were stranded particularly happy. One Guest complained that Disney Cast Members remained silent as they disembarked.

@WaltDisneyWorld @WaltDisneyCo @DisneyParks @Disney What an awful experience tonight. Got stuck on Monorail Silver for over 2 hours. Got off the monorail and no one talks to us or apologizes. We are here to celebrate our 20th anniversary, missed our dining reservation

Today I've seen a brawl at the TTC, and now I'm stuck on a disabled Monorail Silver in a thunderstorm 🙃 pic.twitter.com/9UXI9Wflmg

While it’s clear that Disney’s Mark VI Monorails are in dire need of replacement, Disney keeps spending money elsewhere. The Skyliner, new luxury resort hotels, and now the controversial Disney Genie+ app.

Oh FFS 🤦‍♂️ Disney, you could have spent all those dollars I’m sure you dumped in Genie+ and finally bought a new monorail fleet 🚝 https://t.co/OFobAu1hda

So how long before Disney says Genie+ is so they afford new monorails (and then purchase in 30 years).

Disney World’s current monorails first began operation in 1989, and are years past their recommended lifespan.

Trust us. People notice.

It doesn’t take much searching to see that Disney’s failing monorail system has been making a lot of negative headlines for the company in the past couple of years.

Stay tuned for more news as we hear it.
