They should expand the gondolas in the future to go through Expedition Everest a la Disneyland's Matterhorn. That way we can get a better look at Disco Yeti
It’s been identified (a while back) as a problem. Last I heard there wasn’t a solution.
So what you are saying, that when riding the gondolas, there is a very good chance that you will be killed by getting hit by a passing bus!!!
Add that to the list of possible ways to die on these un-air conditioned flying boxes of death!!!
They seem to be moving a lot of dirt for a bus stop, usually those are flat
It’s a bus stop
I wonder if they'll get complaints about people staying at Pop - "the economy people" as another poster called us - having to walk less far than those staying at deluxe resorts. I'm gonna enjoy that!
having the bus stop under the monorail station would be really convenient, you got to do a lot of waling at Epcot and Magic Kingdom to get from one to the other
You also told us there was no way the permits were showing a gondola.
If you get close enough to the buildings in France, you can't see the tower at all, hopefully they can just find some way to obscure it from sight, I'm speaking from the sight of those headed to Ratatouille ride once it's built. Views from the gondola's, those would be hard to hide.
And doing that will hide the bottom of the Eiffel Tower thus using it's size to force prospective folks into thinking that it is farther away then it really is and therefore just be someplace in Paris. Just like it does from the other side.
Courtyard needs a roof then, wouldn't that be nice.
Negative; gondolas will still be around 25 ft in the air next to a building around 40ft high. As I said above it’s still considered an issue.
A giant painted flat!
I'm sorry Martin, but how does a building (I'm assuming you are talking about the one that has the Eiffel Tower on it) is 40 feet tall and the Gondolas are 25 feet in the air. That building is still 15 feet above and the solution, if it doesn't already exist is to put a short wall around the top of the building that will hide the bottom of the tower and it will have forced perspective just like it does now from the other direction.
There is already a parapet. Things don’t “have forced perspective,” it is a composition technique that is much more than just something being small.
OK, fine... bet it works though, we shall see. And if it doesn't... we all will live to see another day. That's the magic of theme park design. It almost always is not life threatening unless someone forgot to put a pin in to hold it together.
