Aren't the main power systems going to be at the CBR station as well? Though it seems like there will be backup service to all six stations from this quote from January:


But more importantly, I assume there are going to be bathrooms at the CBR station, right?

And besides @MisterPenguin's BBQ pits, there has to be a refreshment stand plus maybe a small shop selling cooling towels, portable fans, and misters. Plus alligator repellent, faraday suits, and parachutes. Or maybe just some anti-anxiety bracelets. Hmm, maybe an instant pharmacy selling Xanax?

Love this! The satire is. almost as good as the gondola info.

Doppelmayr is currently building this themed gondola for an amusement park in Moscow. So it is possible.

But the problem is that would've been $10 too much for the budget and would've bankrupt them.





*Really hope people can pick up on sarcasm*

@Lift Blog Have you been able to determine if/how they are going to do a secondary loading at the Riviera station yet?

That base looks vaguely familiar... put two ears on top and you're done.

Is this a for real project, @Lift Blog? I think the design could use some additional work, but the concept is sweet! It would have been cool if ours had a touch of Disney to them like the monorails do. Just so they were unique.

It is being built right now and opening in September.

I don’t see any signs of secondary rails. The only thing I can think of is maybe all cabins will pause momentarily at a designated spot in each direction?

I could also see the station operating like a normal gondola, continuously moving and stopping the entire line if needed. The Riviera is not a huge resort compared to Pop/AOA, so passenger traffic will be lower. While wheelchairs, stroller and ECVs are certainly prevalent at WDW, some CM assistance could eliminate most boarding troubles.

Don't forget the toy model gondolas.

....let's not forget the Skyliner Popcorn Buckets and limited time offer of Skyliner Cupcakes !

I would have thought Skyline mini ovens would have been a better fit. Then you can bake your own Cupcakes.

Yep. There was some nice Twitter "controversy" over it a couple months back. Unless I'm mistaken, I think there's one other tower that's even slightly closer to a room.

Actually with the sweat constantly dripping I hope they redid the roofs on those buildings.

We are booked at CBR in a standard room starting this weekend. Gotta think our room will be right there.

EDIT: Shared image with my wife. Her response was, "at least it's a corner room"
