New PeopleMover dialogue?

Temporary or permanent? Doesn't the turnstile add to the transit theme?

 

[MisterPenguin]

This isn't good. The turning of the turnstile powered the People Mover!

 

[peter11435]

I wonder why?

Most have been removed over time because they are no longer necessary

 

[peter11435]

Permanent. The turnstile was necessary infrastructure, not theming.

I think the only attraction that still has one is the treehouse?

Liberty Belle still has them too.

 

[Brian]

I wonder why?

Some larger guests had difficulties getting through the turnstile and had to be let through the chain, causing a slow-down and embarrassment for the guest.

Also, as @peter11435 mentioned, it is no longer necessary. There's tech in use at most attractions which can count throughput, and since it's digital, it's available for all sorts of reporting and analysis in near-real time.

Well that problem's going to solve itself on July 7.

I'm assuming this was to make sure the same number that get on will get off and not hide somewhere?

 

[Brian]

I'm assuming this was to make sure the same number that get on will get off and not hide somewhere?

Nope, just to count the number of riders.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Yeah, I agree with the above assessment that this is probably in favor of certain guests overall. I have seen several folks have a hard time getting through the turnstile and they clearly are embarrassed by it. Hopefully this helps people access more comfortably and keeps the line moving better.

Blog Mickey is a couple days late. We were in MK on 6/13 (turnstile present) and 6/14 (turnstile replaced).

Everyone’s taking pictures of the new box but not looking overhead where the new counters would be located.

According to the site that shall not be named, and CM's at the entrance, it is being manually counted for now. Automatic sensors being installed at a later date.

Don't HM, Tiki Room and others still do too?

Any Magic Kingdom attraction built during the ticket book days would have them.

It's where you'd give the CM your A-E ticket

They have been removed from attractions over time. First they were replaced with optical turnstiles, that basically replaced the arm for an eye that counts people. They now have overhead counters as well as well as MagicBand trackers that can get a more comprehensive look at the entire queue instead of just a count.

 

[dmc493]

I believe tiki room does still have it

I could be wrong, but I think Mansion's turnstile disappeared when they installed Pepe le Queue.

Good. I'm a short woman, and it’s awkward as heck.
