I agree...that is why I am thinking something happened that the mains didn't turn over in time! Either a Bridge order, joy stick or a mechanical problem???

It could be the Harbor Pilot, but the Master usually brings the ships into the docks. Then add that is could have been a bridge error of some type....a misunderstood command???... Then there is the possibility of the a engine room failure of some type.......mains or thrusters. traffic in the...

and your Maritime background?

Tom, I gave you the reasons.............I would only strongly suggest you never leave the vessel without proper authorization...AKK

Tom you make sense, however, as EOD K9 pointed out.....technically.......you left the US the second both feet were on the deck of the vessel and off the gangway. With DCL vessels, you were in the Bahamas. Customs, USCG , etc.is like dealing with the IRS............you lose! The practical...

Goof, 1. I did say relatively low and 4000 covered those large resorts and parks is relative low. 2. I agree and made the same point you are in a later post. 3. ! agree...just another expense. I am sorry, but I am one of the folks that disagree on the monorail costs..........at 10 to 15 mil...

I agree, that was my point in another post......with the by pass or side track( whatever the name)........the main line keeps moving. AKK

Sachilles...........You outlined the problems, that is why a side track is better. The strollers, scooters etc, can be loaded on the side track and the main line keeps running. When loaded you just track the gondola to the mainline and clamp on. No matter how long it takes to load, the...

Hi Marni.........that is a idea,.... but you want to keep the main wires running and if like Spaceship earth, someone trips or there is problems loading a wheelchair or scooter, you would have to stop the whole line. The side track lets you stop the car on the side rail and keep the main line...

Good Point, but it still will take time, with the help of CMs to get people on in a orderly manner..that is not a big deal, but I person was saying a 20 person gondola unloaded and loaded in 15 to 20 secounds.............no way.

No debate there...not new tecnology........but...........high speed, high capacity...........intricate by pass for loading and unloading...swamp, Disney look............EXPENSIVE!..................again maybe close to monorail costs

Folks, look at page 6 photos..that is the generally size, capacity line your looking to build........MASSIVE......EXPENSIVE.........true your not dealing with hills, but you are dealing with swamp. I am sorry, but your looking at close to the Monorail costs. AKK

true, it will be very like a monorial........but its WDW......tired families, loaded with stuff...........always delayed. Plus you have to side track the gondola and then wait for space to return the gondola to the main line.

yes..all true..........and the faster, and the more by pass rails needed and power and mechanics, the price is flying higher and flying until your not far from the monorail.........Let be honest here.....we all now how fast a loading is slowed with a stroller and wheelchair and scooter etc at...

Unfortunity, you need to understand, this is not a light duty ski lift...... 1. This 20 person or more gondola requires MASSIVE foundations in the soft wet ground, MASSIVE steel tower, with wings and supports. 2. The mechanics require MASSIVE AND HEAVY built gearing and power. All very...

The Gondola system would be very expensive. The towers and mechanics especially. problems: 1. The gondolas would be relatively low capacity and slow. 2. The loading and unloading would be slow and what about strollers and wheelchairs and scooters? 3. As someone else mentioned.......The towers...
