I don't recall the exact day, but what happened is that I was riding the Skyway from Tomorrowland and in front of me were two young boys. Halfway to the Matterhorn, they started to swing their "bucket" from side to side. I was terrified. I had visions of their "bucket" (or mine) coming off the cable and plunging to the ground. Then I had the terrifying thought that their "bucket" would crash into the Matterhorn and then they would fall down. Then I thought of the cable coming off the wheels and the whole ride coming down. I screamed at them to stop, but they ignored me.
Fortunately, none of that happened. We passed through the Matterhorn with no incident and the kids didn't swing their "bucket" any more, but they were taken off the ride at Fantasyland and, I supposed, thrown out of the park and, I hope, banned from the park for life. Maybe it was incidents like this that led to the ride being taken down here and at WDW and why no other Disney park has ever had one.
Anything like this happen to you?
