It was reported earlier that the tower next to the Pop station was taken down. Well, it's up with a haul rope.

As long as they're not smart enough to see the gondolas in the same way they see bird feeders...

I don't think those squirrels are prone to eat chard bodies that are still twitching from the electrical storm hits. But, if anyone is carrying one of the ginormous buckets of popcorn, it will not be pretty.

I hear they like turkey legs as well...not sure how they feel about Mickey ice cream bars.

Did an insider say somewhere that cabins are what's holding up completion? Seems as though the last haul rope will be up within days.

Yes @Rteetz has said there was a problem with the cabin production.

Looks like they may have just put it back up since the temporary pully's holding down the cable when the tower wasn't there are still in place.

Little known fact - those are not Turkey legs but squirrel.

I always found it a little nutty.

Touch my Mickey Bar and they will be served up as lunch in Animal Kingdom Lodge tomorrow. I have no great love for those bushy tailed rats no matter their size, but, I do love me some Mickey Bars.

Remember.... it’s all the extra theming Disney does.... that’s why their projects run twice as long as everyone else’s...

Lolz

I saw this recently. Its a story about Eisner visiting SFMM shortly after Viper opened.

I think it would really be so lovely to have many many more galvanized steel towers crisscrossing the property.

As opposed to large concrete beams?

Graceful monorail beams vs utility towers with gondolas hanging from them.

Eye of the beholder I guess. I personally think Walt would have liked both, given his interests.

The constant motion of the gondola will be a nice kinetic touch that Walt was looking for in DL's Tomorrowland. There will be constant movement , it wouldn't just be static towers sitting there...

I just get the feeling there people that will try to hate on this system, no matter what happens.

I think the only transportation Walt would have hated is the busses. And this is a step towards lessening the reliance on them.

Oh yeah, just check those Disney groups on Facebook. There are tons of haters.

And given that he thought the skyways would also be used for transportation in teh future, he did look ahead...

If they had modernized the system with tech miniaturization, it really would be the best system in the marketplace.
