Yes, the Skyliner will go down for lightning. If light strikes within a curtain mile from any of the SL lines or stations, operations stop till the lightning clears the entire system. Summer time, it happens often, welcome to Florida. They will operate in the rain and wind but at a curtain sustained wind speed, they will shut down. Its the same for all other forms of transportation, they have max. operating windows for conditions.
The SL can move more people than any other form of transportation on property.
A few things to keep in mind that keep the lines moving. Stay behind the white line on the load platform. Know how many people are in your party. No more than ten heads. If you have a bird on your shoulder, the bird counts, i kid you not. There is no exception to the ten rule, size don’t matter, you holding a child don’t matter.
Enter the cabin you are assigned to. Six people decide they want the cabin behind the cabin they were assigned to and the loader sends five people to that cabin, the line stops.
Enter the cabin quickly and safely. Hanging out the cabin waving your buddy who just showed up, will stop the line.
Please remain seated. You stand up, the kids are standing doing a dance, the line will stop.
Fold your stroller before you get to the load line. You wait till your family jumps in and you fold the double stroller, you pop corn bucket, bubble wand fall on the platform, your family keeps moving, the line stops.
Exit the SL, all the past the yellow line. Don’t hold on to the cabin, dont stand next to the cabin holding someone’s to help them out. If they need assistance, they can slow the line down. Not crossing the yellow safety line is a big cause of stoppages.
