    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    I have no background in lift systems, but I was assuming something similar - the orange cars are loading off line and then inserted. Really looking forward to seeing the real thing.🙂

    I know I shouldn’t chuckle at this comment but I did. Now I feel bad.

    Test Track closing early April 19

    Great comment. I have to admit the first time we rode it after the re-skin I was genuinely confused - there is too little connection between the design time you spend at the beginning and any tangible result during the ride. We had one of those - ‘ wait - that’s it?!’ moments. Lol.

    I sometimes think our moderator will post a very minor item like this just to watch the wave of anger spread like wildfire.

    Fairfax Fare to offer breakfast for a limited time next week

    Good call on Sci Fi - perhaps my favorite restaurant theming on property - but a genuinely odd and unappealing menu.

    Fairfax Fare to offer breakfast for a limited time next week

    Agree with that as well. We usually end up at Backlot if we are there at lunch - and every time I ask myself - this is the best option we have at DHS?!

    Fairfax Fare to offer breakfast for a limited time next week

    I agree with your comment - in park breakfast offerings are pretty slim and more would be welcome. And for DHS specifically - counter service choices generally are far fewer and less interesting than the other three parks.

    I found the April 7 analysis on Liftblog.com to be very informative in providing perspective on the scale of the Disney installation. Great read - and the post makes great use of photos from bioreconstruct.

    Agreed - I love the international gate. Convenient to WS, as well as the Flower and Garden and Food and Wine stations in the middle of the park.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    That’s an interesting point - I have been wondering that as well. The existing placement of the Eiffel Tower is designed to create the proper illusion from a more limited perspective than it will in future it would seem. I assume the imagineers are on top of that. When something new is added to...

    Actually the article says they shut it down because maintenance costs were too much for the zoo. I supposed that’s interrelated - can’t afford maintenance = cars breaking down.

    Bronx zoo had one - shut it down after it stranded a group in 2008 - I just checked 🙂

    Heck - head to Landscapes of Flavor! Or do the restaurants at Disney’s Riviera! Or take it to the international gate and walk over to Yachtsman or Flying Fish - not very far. 😁

    Well said. There is always going to be a need to balance costs against custom theming. I imagine some of the same critics here populate the forum with comments that Disney is too expensive. The Disney powerline is not much of an argument - there is exactly one of these in a prominent spot...

    Favorite Disney Resort

    So many great choices and unique experiences, but here goes: Value: toss up between PopCentury and Art of Animation. The two share Hourglass Lake and it’s easy to get between them. They will also share a gondola station next year. AoA has the superior Landscapes of Flavor food court, the very...
