I doubt you read that anywhere credible... it isn't really that close to BLT or Contemporary. If anything maybe they could put a second BLT tower north of the parking lot on that large piece of land there, but even that is getting kinda far from the main building. And there is plenty of room...

Oh man.....that looks unbearable..... he's really going to be "roughing it" on this trip.. having experienced the horror of it myself, I feel bad for him. I'm referring to the second pic of Spirit airplane..... :eek:

ugh... god no. :hungover: I gotta completely disagree on this one. I like the understated, classy look. Not everything has to be bold and in your face.

I'm all for more maintenance... but I think his question was more along the lines of what are they doing under there? If they're just painting the columns why does it take so long? I suspect the answer is they're doing more then just painting, maybe replacing the columns completely. I suppose...

Lol.. there's no way that's true.. I've been in gondolas at a ski resort prior to 1986... or maybe I'm a time traveller.

Understatement of the year! :eek: I kid...I kid...... I have no art skillz either....lol :D

If they did something like this, I imagine it would only be SWL and not the whole park, and only for like 2 hours, say 10pm-12am or something. and they'd have to do it every other night

Swamp boats. or maybe Swamp Buggies

The issues of loading scooters and wheelchairs, the throughput numbers, and the detachable gondolas have all been covered multiple times in this thread. There's even a video of a wheelchair loading into an existing gondola. And I wouldn't hold your breath for multiple loading platforms, that...

I think a gondola would be a great solution for the AKL<->AK transportation as well. It is a straight line from AKL (near the main building's bus stop or maybe the main pool area) to the AK transportation area. It would run along the side of the Savanah and have some pretty cool views. If...

Yes, one. And it would probably turn it into a 5 or 6 person gondola

That discussion was in response to a poster suggesting that gondolas could replace the existing monorail because it would be more efficient...so it wasn't really on topic with the actual happening gondola project.

Yes and no. Any passengers per hour numbers for the gondola would be calculated with the max number of gondolas on the cable. But yes, the gondolas could be pulled and added back in much easier... however it would only be for reducing the load capacity during non-peak times, and then putting...

That would look ridiculous to have 4 to 7 separate gondola lines running around and across bay lake. The issue with the capacity on the monorail at peak times could be solved by simply adding a switched siding to the express beam where an extra train could be parked and brought online/offline...

I love this idea..... some thoughts: I'm thinking of this like being on a cruise during an at-sea day. The 'hotel' is the cruise ship, and you can't leave. (Though I guess in this case you could if you really had to) There's plenty to do on a ship to occupy you for a day, between...

Well, this problem all stems from having a hard opening date, announced, and taking FP+ reservations for it. Had no specific date been announced and they proceeded with soft opens starting on June21 instead, no one would be complaining. Then they'd have time to figure out the issues, fix them...

I believe that is exactly what they've been doing.

I thought Universal had theme park rights to Star Trek in the US, but I might be wrong. And honestly, I'd rather them do both that and LotR/Hobbit... It just seems like they would be a better fit for Universal and I think they could do both of them better then Disney would.

And there goes the rest of your day! lol :D:D

Maybe this new ride will just replace GMR.... there, solved that problem! :eek: (we all know they'd rather replace a ride then build a new one anytime they can)
