What’s Happening:

  • Several guests were stuck on Walt Disney World's monorail after it stopped on its tracks Tuesday morning.
  • An emergency crew responded to the scene and was able to safely rescue all passengers on board, which took about an hour and 20 minutes. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
  • According to a Disney spokesperson, the train experienced a flat tire near the EPCOT parking lot toll plaza, which caused it to come to a stop.
  • Kris Lenk, who was trapped on the monorail, told FOX 35 News that he could smell the burning rubber and a bit of smoke.
