Visitors at Skyline Rotorua were stuck in gondola cabins for up to an hour last night after a “rare” and “unexpected” stoppage.
Skyline Rotorua general manager Andrew Jensen told the Rotorua Daily Post engineers resolved the stoppage within an hour and manuhiri (visitors) were able to travel back to the car park as normal.
“An unexpected stoppage to this extent is rare, however, [the] backup auxiliary drive kicked into gear to clear visitors from the gondola line.
“While this process does take time, it is extremely effective.”
Jensen apologised to guests and thanked them for their patience and understanding.
