Unfortunately things will get more complicated once the Riviera station is actually active and they need to leave space for people getting on there.

I think there are signs, they just aren't super obvious. I know for a fact the Epcot line has sign for wheelchair line above the entrance. I would have expected them to put out temporary stanchions at CBR to extend and mark entranced of lines as necessary. Maybe they will start doing this...

There may have been a crazy way to take the cabins off the line at that station, but it would have to be done completely differently, and probably raised so that the different platforms could be accessible from underneath with ramps etc., or they would have need to just make that another...

I just mean that what is 'new' is relative. You said that "It's sad that the greatest new thing at WDW is transportation." As someone that isn't local and considers other things that opened this year (or even less than a month ago) to also still be new, the gondola is nowhere near the most...

So... you're saying this is better than Galaxys Edge? Interesting how soon you local fanboys forget. Just like all the Disneyland people complaining there was nothing new announced for Disneyland at D23 and somehow turning a blind eye to the whole Avengers thing.

Why would cast members ride this? Do they park at the hotels?

It is also the most plain station that is now apparently thought to be the best looking.

It's literally just a tunnel with cars in it, its not all that outlandish of an idea. I imagine it will be Tesla cars with slightly modified interior because it wont need a typical dashboard with a steering wheel. Maintenance of this system should also be incredibly cheap, as it should share...

Found a picture I took on a day I was running the lift. One of the few times it snowed that season.

I went resort mountain biking for the first time and was able to get some photos of controls etc. for a chairlift. I thought some of you might find it interesting. This lift is at Northstar California and is called Martis Camp Express. It was built in 2000 by Garaventa CTEC which has since...

Guys chill, this was just a construction test. They are going to tear it down and build it again once the tests are complete.

Do you guys all drive around in your cars at night with all the interior lights on? Why are you so concerned how bright it is inside? It will be bright enough to see, and if you need more light you can always use your phones light if you have to.

That would kind of go against an issue the original deisgn of Disney World was supposed to solve. Everything was going to be connected by monorial route in more or less a straight line from the airport through to the Magic Kingdom.

I think it's just poor planning in how the resort was designed that makes many other types of transportation not really efficient. Think of a subway etc. where its more linear and there are stops every few block or so. Things at WDW are so all over the place that something like the busses are...

They all tilt out. The two on the left and the side one are closed while the 3 on the right are open.

If I recall correctly, an e-stop has the be reset with the reset button on the board itself, where a normal stop can be reset on any of the remote control panels. Unless there is an actual fault, reseting is literally just pressing one button (and also making sure they pulled the e-stop button...

It's not. One time we had a cone in a cabin for at-least 3 days and maintenance finally asked why there was a cone in there and it was because someone threw up in it and nobody wanted to clean it. Then he took the cone out and that was that. Also cleaning them while they are in storage isn't...

The way the windows open are different to how they usually are, which is possibly to help prevent water from entering. Usually the windows open in, so that they can be opened and closed from the inside, they also usually pivot on the bottom not the top. These pivot on the top and open out, but...

Some type of countdown timer possibly? Also the operators will get used to it, they will be able to tell ahead of time depending the situation if it will take more time and can act accordingly. They often wont have to stop the line (especially an e-stop) simply just slowing the line would...

This isn't like a car merging onto the freeway, its like adding and removing links in a constantly moving chain that needs to remain the same length. As someone that has operated a gondola before, i don't see how that would easily be coordinated by the operators on both sides if they were...
