There were so many videos, in fact, that YouTube servers crashed under the strain.

DisneyLAND Skyliner opening date set!

Something's a little screwy about the date we found, though.

Skyliner delayed; wrong characters put on gondolas

Walt Disney World's new gondola system has... too much character? WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL -- Just months from its projected opening, the Disney Skyliner and Spa gondola system has encountered a new snag. Rather than leave the vehicles wrapped as originally planned, they decided to decorate each ride vehicle with cartoon characters.
