Alright I'll throw my hat in for a question as well, will the FriendShip boats stay or are they on their way out given the gondolas? I doubt new boats given the recent hull rehabs but anything there either?

This was the poster design for the Festival of the Arts this year. I'm surprised they had any left. I picked up one of the last posters back in June but man I would've loved that glicee. You can also get this design on a shirt. I got one to wear for the finale and the shirts on redbubble are...

Doubtful. Nothing has happened the other times doors have opened on the beam.

It probably opened on the beamway, it's happened before thanks to the automation. It's just been caught on video now.

It's already sold out (no surprise since they let people buy 10 at a time) but managers said that it isn't special edition and they're getting more with different boxes at some point.

They just poured a ton of money into automating it. Still isn't doing well. It was a fleet of 12 new monorails, not just one.

Bingo. Many people are thinking that the whole purpose of retrofitting these trains is so that they can finally get new ones (that's a whole other ball game though) without shutting the entire monorail system down for months on end to install and test the new trains because, like you said, it...

No. I do believe that it was part of what started the automation talks, but I that isn't something I'm sure on.

They have emergency procedures in place and none of that changes with this new automation. The problem being faced is the monorails not hitting their marks in the stations (or even making the stations) at times. Easy way to add 10+ minutes to the trip while the computers try to figure out what...

Yep, they've been running with guests for the last few tests. Today sounds like it was Express and Resort lines with the Epcot line joining tomorrow. They had some trouble but it still sounds like this is far less of a test and much more of a now permanent thing.

2015 became their goal once 2014 failed. Rumor is that it was supposed to be completed in just over a year. 2015 failed and new dates showed up multiple times in 2016. All of those ended up failing and it was pushed into Jan.2017. That seems to have failed as well and the new date is tomorrow...

They only ran all 3 trains during projected busier days; most days it was just 2 (Walter and Roger) with the Roy O. doing the opening ceremony.

But DHS also has Yacht/Beach Club and the Boardwalk right there; just a short boat ride - or shorter walk - away. They are closer than Pop and AoA are, too.

I remember reading before that Disney/GM (someone anyway) wanted it faster (~85 maybe?) but the banking is what stopped them. They would have had to bank the track too much for safe evacs.

Nah, it breaks down a good bit.

Be weary when downloading things from CNET. They used to be a pretty good site but have tons of viruses now.

Same; I've never been stuck on it, but I've seen it 101 countless times.

I was backstage on my way to work. You're right that it doesn't give the same speed each time, but the sign doesn't always depend on car speed.

Yep, Saw the cars barely moving one time and the board still said ~65.

FT/PT Maingates are good for 16 admissions/year, IIRC. CPs only get 6. Especially when the only nights that are discounted are the first month. All MNSSHP and MVMCP CM discount nights are only September and November respectively.
