Well, tish. Your map it does line up right......something is wrong on my source map, you see that right?

See what I mean? That that building is a v. You use the center of the back of the building, and the center of the exit to get your line. It is not inline with the other building. I don't think those will connect directly.

Looking at the original CBR permit drawings, the "turn station" by the proposed new tower, really doesn't line up with the building across from south trinidad. It's close, but it puts the trajectory into the lagoon. The slight curve on the lagoon side of the building by south trinidad might kiss...

It only has to be high enough to clear the things that need to pass below it. Unlike a ski resort you don't have to worry about snow pack.

Sure, why not. Have a premium destination gateway. My only thought is the new bus depot is on the wrong side of the place to efficiently use one gateway to access both bus and this new transportation. Of course they could suck it up and not charge at all, if someone wants to park there to access...

It certainly isn't confirmed that the Springs will have a stop. I find that it would make a lot of sense, as their is an awful lot of high priced rent there, that is going to want every opportunity to keep that place packed. You have epcot world showcase, and boardwalk as a somewhat adult...

This could be mitigated quite easily with magicband turnstiles at the springs. You can't get on the system without a valid band(or pay the equivalent of a parking fee). You'd recover your lost parking fees or discourage people from the practice.

I calculate it as an 11 minute ride, with a far quicker loading than the friendship boats from IG to DHS. The wait would be minimal as well. This estimate is based on a distance where the run is from IG to the boardwalk lot, turns to the new tower section of CBR, turn to south trinidad part of...

Maintenance would be on going/constant. Unsure what the regs in florida are by for the ski industry in Vermont, the grips on the lift vehicles must meet destructive testing requirement every three years, which is a bit of time suck. However, with enough cars, you can cycle this testing through...

To further the discussion, with the evidence we have now, I believe there are 2 lines. One line from trinidad south to DHS. One line from trinidad south, to the new cbr tower section, to boardwalk lot, to IG.

My opinion on that is you get on the gondola car and your ride it. You might have an option to get off before reaching the end of the line, but you will not have a choice to go left or go right. Your options will be to stay on it, or get off. Any change in direction would require getting off...

I agree with you there. That being said, you still have to make a network that makes sense for a guest to use. The scope of this project may only be epcot, CBR and DHS. However, the routing may make it convenient to add another line from CBR to the water park and DS. Completely separate...

The routing seems odd to me as well, that's why I suspect there are more loading stations than we've figured out to date. There has to be more than one line, and I suspect several. My gut tells me that you have to connect Disney springs as well as the water park between cbr and the springs. The...

I'm betting it comes in at 20 million per mile.

I mean no offense, but I really don't understand what you are saying. Perhaps explain in a different way. My previous career for approximately 18 years, revolved around this type of equipment. While not my daily job, I was trained to operate it and facilitate emergency rescues from this...
