Overview
- Monorail Teal, which lost power Saturday, April 4, stalled on the EPCOT beam and was towed back to the Transportation & Ticket Center.
- With air conditioning and intercoms down in sealed cars, heat built fast and riders used emergency tools to pop out windows for airflow.
- Disney suspended the EPCOT monorail line during the incident and ran buses between EPCOT and the Transportation & Ticket Center to move guests.
- The company said all safety protocols were followed and that evacuations used a tow unit and ladder trucks from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District fire department.
- The breakdown drew fresh scrutiny of the 1989‑era Mark VI trains, now about 37 years old, and followed a brief system shutdown after a monorail fire in November 2025.
