Honeypot: Complaints about the Skyliner/Gondola; also worries and insecurities

[Sirwalterraleigh]

2. Are you meaning more people in the area, foot traffic as opposed to actual traffic. That is a reasonable “fear” I guess, although maybe it would encourage them to actually open the Atlantic Dance Hall and use it for something.

3. The “rather cheap hotels”? Funny definition IMO, but OK. AoA is already priced above the rest of the values and less than the mods. But you’re right in that rates at the Skyliner resorts will probably increase. But what’s your concern exactly? If the increases “bleed to others” then everything then levels again, not making things “out of whack”. I think it’s more likely that the rates at AoA, POP and CBR all end up with a Skyliner premium on them. After all, they’ll have to contribute to the running costs which in the short term will be higher than just buses.

Charging $300 for Caribbean and $200 for pop inevitably leads the shrews to say “well...If we can charge that...what can we get for ______?!?”

Which leads us to a base rate of $550 at boardwalk and “Elvis Tower at Disney’s All Star Music: A Disney Vacation Club Resort”

Disney consumers suck more and more everyday...they compartmentalize and self-justify what they will pay...thinking it doesn’t affect anyone. When that is EXACLTY the opposite of how things are priced. Micro brains trying to not get crushed in a “macro” world.

Whispers that Disney has put in a large order of these to sell outside the Skyliner.

It allows guests to use their own sweat to cool the remains of their smoldering companions.

I can only hope they are automatic seat beats so while I'm dropped to my death in the oven after a lighting strike I'll have no chance at all of out swimming the gators. Just blup blup blup to the bottom of the lagoon.

I don't have to be faster than the gator just faster than you.

At 71 years old, I think you would be safe. Let my children know that I went out while saving your life. It's the least you could do!

I am betting he will be run over by the rescue boats, sadly never bringing your sacrifice to light.

All of those complaining about sharing the gondola cars with strangers need to realize that they already do that on the monorails.

Insert that Comment Here...... Thanks

I added it to a new list of cheap jokes about the lack of AC. I want to reserve the original list for the substantial discussions on AC.

Also, I am responding to you in the honeypot thread itself. I'm hoping that doing so will reduce off-topic traffic in the main thread.

The "insert comment here" was directed at the Previous person and that his "joke" should go in this thread and not the main

Edit: I edited my hyperlink for clarification

Lol. I see! Ha!

At any rate, I like the idea of cross-replying in this thread to "move" off-topic conversation here as quickly as possible.

Glad to see that all the mass hysteria is dying down, that, or people have finally run out of horrifying scenarios!
Another option would be that most have resigned to their impending doom

Since the hysteria about the gondolas themselves has died down, let talk about the "rescue" boat of death.

But I see the hysteria over the hysteria is still going strong.

Given that it's FL I'd say it's missing a giant fan.

People hysterical about the gondolas will go crazy on them and kill their cabin mates.

The rescue pontoon looks top heavy. Get six people up there coming off a cabin and it will topple over and you become gator chum.

Here’s a complaint, from the looks of the gondolas I won’t be able to take a decent photo or video through the character wraps on the windows...ever tried to get a pic on a wrapped monorail? Actually I think that may be a valid complaint. Oh wait, I can just take a selfie stick and hang my camera out the ventilation vent..problem solved.

I think the vents are covered with wire mesh, so still a valid complaint. Also, aren't selfie sticks banned in the parks? So your initial complaint may also still be valid.

If you stand up I think you'll be able to take pictures above the wraps, or just use the door side windows which don't have wraps.

I'm indexing your complaint, though!

Just remember, as @Lensman said, you can't take said selfie stick into the park anymore

The gondolas aren't in the park.

The gondolas aren't in the park.

That right there, could be another complaint!

 

[nickys]

No, but if you’re riding one with a selfie stick, you’re going to have to leave your selfie stick somewhere before entering a park. So unless this is just a photo-taking round-trip, it’s going to be a problem!

Gondolas are numbered. Leave it in that gondola, and then, on your way back, wait for that gondola to come around.

Or else, jam it in the wheels above you and pick it up on the way out.
