Disney World- Monorail Evacuated *UPDATED*

Image from +WDW News Today 
Monorail Evacuated at Disney World.

 Last night around 6pm, Monorail Gold was evacuated while stranded between the 'Transportation and Ticket Center' and 'Epcot Center', Around the area of Fort Wilderness Lodge.

 Early reports stated this was due to a lightning strike, while the official report doesn't mention that, it does state the monorail system lost power multiple times during the evening. Mostly due to heavy thunderstorms which where moving through the area, it also states that other monorails on the system had to be 'restarted multiple times'. Which suggests either the suspected lightning strike or a power system surge, which stopped the transportation system in it's tracks. While others where able to make it back into their respective stations, Monorail Gold had to be evacuated by Reedy Creek Fire Department.

 Guests where safely removed and bused to their respective locations. No word on the status of Monorail Gold or if the Epcot/TTC line will be up and running this morning.

**UPDATE**
A Disney Spokesperson announced that the monorail lines and fully up and running today for standard operations.

Six Flags Magian Mountain- X2 Still Down

X2 is Still Down...



 It appears X2 is still having issues. Screamscape reports the ride is still down from earlier in the season. It was believed the ride would open for Thanksgiving and the following Holiday rush at the park. However, as of right now the ride is still down and did not open at all over the weekend.

 According to the Six Flags Magic Mountain website, pictured above, X2 is still down "temporarily" for maintenance. The ride went down (to my knowledge) in the beginning of September of this year, it has not reopened since.

 Rumors from various forums online report it's a rather large problem, requiring manufacturer help. Many seem to believe this is all linked to the lift chain replacement. Others are now suspecting the ride may not open again until January at the earliest.  Again, these are rumors from around the internet and have no been confirmed by the park.
