Skyliner

Skyliner is a name used for several transportation-related ventures and devices. The most widely known is the Disney Skyliner, a gondola lift system installed at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, United States. Opened in 2019, it provides aerial transportation between Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot and a cluster of nearby Disney Resort hotels. The system comprises two gondola lines with multiple stations, featuring a central hub near the Caribbean Beach Resort area that allows transfers between lines. Each gondola cabin carries several passengers and offers riders scenic views as it travels above the landscape. The service is designed to supplement buses and walking, providing a convenient option during busy periods and for guests with lodging inside the resort complex.

Operations and safety: The Disney Skyliner is operated with standard safety features for modern aerial lift systems. Rides can be temporarily suspended due to weather conditions such as high winds or lightning, and routine maintenance and inspections are conducted to maintain reliability and safety.

Other uses: The name Skyliner has also been used for other, less widely publicized transport projects and products in different regions. These uses are separate from the Disney installation and vary in scope and purpose.

In summary, Skyliner most prominently refers to Disney’s gondola system at Walt Disney World, while the term itself has broader applications in transportation naming.
