And Al Gore for inventing the internet!

Hey, this is supposed to be an anonymous internet message board. Don't go outing my real identity!

"High in the sky" makes me wonder how high the towers will be? Most speculation is low to the ground but higher means less towers so maybe TDO just does not care about sightlines!

Less than 50 feet.

I'm just asking to see if I'm following all of this correctly, but wouldn't this technically turn out to be the Riviera station?

Yes. The name is CBR North technically.

Is CBR North a turn station or an actual station? It looks like a turn station, but it would make sense to allow guests to get on and off here as well.

Yes. The name is CBR North technically.

Outstanding as always!

If I've stitched these together (roughly) correctly, CBR South is going to have a pretty big footprint since it'll act as the maintenance/storage building.

Yes, it will be a station to serve Riviera.

Storage won’t technically be in a building. But it will be here. Either side of the DHS leg.

Going back to some of the discussions that hotel rates might increase once the skyliner is complete, when do you think Disney will raise those prices? The normal increase I think is too early in the year. I'm just wondering if I might be able to snag a lower rate by booking early. Any guesses...?

A resort room price increase, above and beyond what would normally happen in any given calendar year, is almost guaranteed. When it will go into effect is anyone's guess at this point, but I guarantee that any price increase will be in effect before any reservations can be made for any dates close to the opening of SW:GE. As has been said in several other threads this year, Disney is almost assuredly going to be moving away from deluxe/moderate/value classifications for resorts and instead pricing based on location, location, and location. As if taking a vacation at WDW wasn't expensive enough already...

It's a turn and and on/off station.

Indeed. The latest permits manage to hide this fact quite well.

 

[P_Radden]

Could the BW turn station in the future allow for guests on and off as well?

Only by completely replacing it.
