Absolute disaster
Absolute disaster – worst experience imaginable. Avoid at all costs. 16/08/2026
Yesterday we got stuck at the Llandudno Cable Car lower station/car park area after a family day out. We stood in a queue for TWO HOURS just to get back up to the Llandudno summit car park. The moment we were about to board, they suddenly closed the cable car. Just like that.
We are a family of 6 with young kids. There was no realistic way for us to walk the roughly 1-mile steep uphill path back to the top. Staff told us to go back into the town and get the bus. At 5:30 pm.
Reality check:
• No buses
• No tram
• No taxis
• No Uber
No Internet
Hundreds of families were left stranded. People (including kids and elderly) were sitting on the paths with nowhere to go. Complete chaos and zero contingency.
Staff were outright dishonest. They kept distracting and misleading the crowd by claiming buses would be available to get people back up the mountain. Pure lies. Nothing arrived. We were abandoned.
This was a terrible day that turned into a complete nightmare for our family and so many others. Totally not recommended. The operation is poorly managed, unsafe for families, and the staff cannot be trusted.
