It appears Disney had more monorail trouble...

http://www.wdwinfo.com/news/Theme_Parks_Attractions/Power_outage_forces_evacuation_of_Disney_World_monorail.htm

first the horrid accident, then the fire at one of the stations (not the trains), then found a problem with one of the control boards, and now this.

Wonder why this is happening now after running so long problem free.
or did we just not hear of issues prior to this?

Unfortunately, it does break down from time to time, but the problem here is that the Reedy Creek rescue unit had purchased a new "scissors lift" or whatever it's called and when they bought it, they didn't concider that it wouldn' rise high enough in some of the areas of the monorail. That's why they were stuck there so long, otherwise, they would have been gotten down in 30 minutes or less. I have read that they corrected that problem the next day.
