Because honestly it is hardly been muffled. This thread has been talked about over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, do you get where I'm going with this?
Me either. My problem is some days I forget to properly calibrate it first.
You're right, I forgot about that! I thought these covered areas would become the entrance and exit, though, but the Metropolitain sign is to the left in the concept art (pics linked from DFB). Guess I wasn't paying attention.
I totally agree - I'm really impressed with the Epcot and CBR stations especiallyI really love all the little themed elements and details they are doing to the stations respective of their locations.
But it also shows the line running counterclockwise, and we now know this line runs clockwise, so I wouldn't put too much stock into it. It could be accurate, but only if the entry path will wrap around the back of the station.You're right, I forgot about that!

This construction pic (Bio's) is a month old but it supports the layout seen in the concept art. With the fences now in place it looks like the ramp on the left will be both the entrance and exit. With the clockwise sense of travel that would make the right half of the ramp the exit and the left half the entrance. Very counterintuitive for most Epcot visitors but we'll see how it plays out. The Brits should feel right at home.
Good catch! But now I'm wondering about that winding path further to the left ...This construction pic (Bio's) is a month old but it supports the layout seen in the concept art.

My vote's on the back loop. The increased length of the path created by the curves makes it less steep, so easier for wheelchairs.

You're right, there's something wrong with my reasoning: if the curved path were the accessible entrance and the left half of the straight path would be the regular entrance then the guest flows would have to cross each other.
You know what is even worse... When they get off the Gondola and enter the parks, they are still in the sun or rain. When they get out of the bus at the parks they are in the sun and rain. When they get off the Monorail at MK or Epcot they are in the sun and rain. I'm thinking that it is not a matter of concern to Disney.
Sure ... just pointing out that the covered walkway seems to be more for appearance than functionality -- a somewhat deceptive selling point for Riviera units.
You bring up a valid point. If the wind is not blowing, THERE IS NO VENTILATION IN THE PARKS! You will be trapped with not just nine other hot sweaty odiferous people but THOUSANDS! If you dare stand still and don't keep moving you will literally bake in the hot Florida sunshine because there is no air conditioning out on the walkways! If you look up to view the lightning in a thunderstorm and forget to close your mouth you may drown! And if you dare try to eat at an outside table birds will attempt to steal your meal and you may starve.
All I can say is the decision to put Gondola's in place spells doom for everyone, even those that aren't going to WDW now or ever. I just know the danger is far reaching.You bring up a valid point.

Oh, the humanity......
Yes, a ridiculous post, but it makes more sense than some of what we have seen.
