News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

[Bocabear]

It looks nice, yes. But, I'm not sure I'd want gondola stations to look like they're not gondola stations.

Imagine if all the bus stops looked like something other than a bus stop, say, a gingerbread house or a giant dollhouse or a quaint cottage. Yeah, they'd look nice, but, I'm not sure I'd see the point of it or give mad props to WDW that none of their bus stops look like bus stops.

hmmmm

Sometimes appropriate theming can add an awful lot.... I would prefer it if they didn't l;ook like an off the shel doppelmyer station with a themed canopy tacked on.... That was always the Disney Difference....

So at this point, I have to ask, because nobody else has: how many angels will fit in one of the gondolas?

In response to that all I can say is...can Mickey build a gondola that is too big to lift?

I think the take away from that pic is that those are some CARAZY pants on that woman. Most impressive!

Vertical stripes are slimming... or supposed to be...

The skyway was a ride.

The skyway was a ride.

...and a show.

I thought it was an attraction.

I thought it was an attraction.

It was, just like the train around MK. It really didn't go anywhere and I wasn't used for transportation alone because by the time you waited in line to ride it, you could have walked over to Tomorrowland and back about six times. So, like the train sometimes you got off at stops, but most of the time you rode the circle.

oh, like CoP!

 

[disreport]

Any chance audio will be piped into the cabins?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Well yes, except in CoP you travel through almost an entire century.

another forum I visit uses a simple idea of colored text is the sarcasm font... In their case blue (but its a dark background style). Works for humor.. but is only 75% effective against the ones that miss the obvious no matter what you do...

...or color blind !

or unaware of the secret code.

Very likely!

 

[socaljoeyb]

I assume there needs to be safety audio.

Funny, never heard any at ski resorts. Always a placard but nothing during the ride. I envision ads and "magic" as what will be delivered here.

You wouldn't be able to hear it over the roar of the A/C unit and all that lightning.

Or the screams of people being fried to death
