I believe they're just going to extend the Wildlife Express Train.

Do me a favor and fetch everyone on Fifth Gate thread and bring them here. I'm not having luck.

Interesting. Along Western Way maybe?

Yeah, up to Western Way, then following it past Coronado down to Buena Vista Drive, cutting through the woods along an existing clearing you can see via satellite, right to DHS.

YES! That's sort of what I had in mind!

 

[unkadug]

I have been fetched!

 

[Hakunamatata]

Fetch?

 

[PeterAlt]

Fetch?

Oh, don't start. Let's leave bad vibes to rest on that other thread, please.

 

[unkadug]

Fetch?

Interesting. I would figure a new TTC based at EPCOT since it is central to the property as opposed to MK. I think a People mover combined with monorail would be really really interesting.

Ah, so this is where everybody went

Yeah, that was my first thought. In fact, earlier, I mapped out routes for a people mover system. The idea is to cut costs wherever possible to make it an attractive option for Disney. Add people movers to the mix and the cost skyrockets.

I would be nice to have some form of alternate transportation to AK. It's the only one of the four major parks that can only be accessed by bus or car. You even have to take a bus from AK Lodge to the park which I something I never understood.

 

[PeterAlt]

Thank you, everyone. I feel much better now.

In the meantime, please comment on my plan. It is literally months in the making! In other words, I put A LOT of thought and research into it. It would save Disney a ton of money, while also allowing DHS expansion and maximize profit potential through leveraged land use.

Where is your cost analyst? You state it would save a ton of money? How many years to break even on initial capital?

I'll break it down in a future post. Believe me, I've been researching this for years. Evidence that my research started at least in 2003 is in the photo album on this site... http://photoalbums.wdwmagic.com/showgallery.php?ppuser=8345&cat=500

What about personal jet packs for each guest? With the new RFID technology we can just swoop into the park of our choice and have it registered on our magic band. You could even land in the queue of the attraction or dining experience of your choosing. Another idea is really long elevators turned on their sides....that way the elevator could give you horizontal movement from place to place. Also, I've almost perfected teleportation in my basement.

What it basically does is leverages other projects into an overall plan has each element in mind as a whole from the get-go. For instance, DHS will need to be expanded one day. So, let's build a parking structure and move the entrance as part of that project. While we're at it, let's use that parking structure as an intermodal center and monorail station. See, how each element supports another? The result is massive savings than each being separate independent projects.
