situation and ensure operations continue as per normal
It has since resumed operations after the bad weather
cleared.

activity was detected.

conducted a safety inspection on the cable car system.
Within minutes, communication was put out to guests who were riding
in the cabins at the time.
There were 20 guests who were seated in four to five cabins and
they were asked to remain calm as stoppage is normal.
The inspections showed that there were no disruptions to the
electrical system.

activated to re-start the rides and bring the cabins to the nearest
cable car station.
