i thought you were going to do that if someone gave you the diameter?

If they gave me the actual, real diameter... yes.

Then the diameter circumference is 10pi inches. You count how many times the wheel turns in a minute (for accuracy), which is the number of diameters circumferences that passed by per minute. Then the speed of the rope is NumberOfTurns10*pi inches/minute. You then ask Google to translate that into miles/sec.

FTFY

Unless ppl are at CBR need to catch an internal bus to the gondola station. Combine the normal "use the restroom before we leave" but then 5 minutes later a kid needs one again

I don't think anyone has said whether there will be Guest restrooms at the CBR station. Unlike Pop/AoA, it's large enough to have them.

Unfortunately the wheels are turning so fast in the video, and they don't have any good references points it would be really hard to calculate the speed of rotation.

That or they don't anticipate the need for high capacity restrooms. There are plenty in the park at one end and your hotel room is at the other end of your journey. How many people will need a restroom at the gondola station?

Plus, you'll sweat it all out on the gondola anyway!

Some stuff can’t be sweat out

 

[Cosmic Commando]

You'll have to provide me with the diameter of the wheels first.

Amateur! I don't need any information at all to determine that this thing will kill or maim anyone who tries to ride it.

Likely 485 mm

The main line was running again at Hollywood studios and it was underwhelming

Yes because a Gondola was ever going to wow you...

What exactly were you expecting to see that would get you excited?

Photo update as of Thursday, February 7, 2019. The turn station at The Boardwalk. Digging trench for irrigation pipes. Work gondola on the line.

The Skyliner station between Art of Animation and Pop Century resorts.

A photo was posted earlier this week of the probable restroom at Art of Animation near the gondola station, however, here is a ground level view.

Which line is the main line?

 

[homerdance]

What exactly were you expecting to see that would get you excited?

Absolutely nothing

 

[rickdrat]

Likely 485 mm

Darn it! I picked 486 in the pool.

Still excited!

Can someone describe where at each resort/park these stations are going to be positioned? I'm trying to gauge it from pictures, but some are more difficult than others.

DHS - outside the main gate, on the opposite side of the lagoon from the boat dock.
Epcot - right outside the IG, across the walkway from the boat dock.
Pop/AoA - at the center of the pedestrian bridge between the 2 resorts.
CBR - across the street from Jamaica, near what used to be the bus only entrance, but is now the main entrance.
Riviera - between the new resort & CBR Aruba (the new resort building replaced Barbados.)
