Nothing serious, did have to Evac though.

The ride has been beset with problems from the get-go: its opening was delayed two months due to a series of technical glitches and once opened, was only working about half the time. I was lucky to get a ride on a recent visit and while the line was short, it still took nearly 45 minutes to ride, given the horrible load/unload times and the distance required between each car. It also suffers from that word all of us park people loathe--prototype!

In Indiana, the Department of Homeland Security inspects all amusement rides. If the zoo wanted the ride to reopen, the inspection could take place relatively quickly. However, the ride does not run below 50 degrees, so I'd imagine the zoo would rather put it into hibernation and focus on fixing the problems that sidelined it this season, rather than squeeze a couple more weeks out of an already moody ride.

Department of Homeland Security? Really? And here I thought the department responsible for inspecting amusement rides couldn't be any stranger than Agriculture. Are they afraid that terrorists are going to tamper with a ride?

I believe the thinking was that the same department that is responsible for firemen issues should also inspect rides. But yes, they inspect and license the rides in Indiana.

For the second time in 2 months, the Indianapolis Zoo Skyride stopped suddenly, stranding 8, including 3 kids.  Rescue crews didn't arrive until about an hour ago, 90 minutes after the ride stopped.  It's about 85 and sunny here today.  This ride has been plagued by problems since it opened 2 years ago.

I didnt know Mondial made skyrides!

They may not much longer.

I'm wondering why it took so long for rescuers to get there after the ride stopped, considering the zoo is located on the area's main east-west road not far from downtown...

the question should be.... how long was the ride stopped, BEFORE Zoo personnel/Management chose to call rescue operations in?  For how many minutes did they attempt to re-start the ride themselves as to avoid media attention?

Wouldn't someone aboard or in the zoo have called 911 whilst the zoo dilly-dalleyed, were that the case?

My home zoo! I've never been on the skyride. No point unless the orangutans are out on the top climbing around.

Maayyyyybe, however, my thoughts are that it all depends on how often they came over the PA system with the "We are experiencing a minor technical difficulty, and we should have you  under way very soon" jazz.  Not saying I disagree, because that thought entered my mind as well, just adding some more food for thought.
