News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

You can see the haul rope on the blue spool, but it doesn't seem like it's been run anywhere.

Which photo are you looking at? I can’t see any spools, nada!

Can someone re-post with a big arrow /circle for me please?

I’m not going to lie. I wish AKV was getting gondolas. I am a little jealous. I am sure we will ride it to try it out, once it is operational.

Full wire rope being run between DHS and Caribbean November 9th-13th (already partially complete).

Guidewire being run from Caribbean to Pop/AoA in same timeframe (also partially complete).

Once DHS to Caribbean wire rope is complete, wire rope will next be extended from Caribbean to Pop/AoA.

Lastly, guidewire and permanent rope will extend to Riviera/Epcot turns and finally the Epcot station, completing the cable install.

Bio's photos don't show anything on the Pop/AoA line quite yet

Look at the base of the middle tower.

Por favor, mantengase alejado de las puertas en llamas.

I just had to read that in Jack Wagner’s voice! Lol

I don't remember what people were saying, but I think this could easily open early spring.

The stations still need a bit of work but cabins could start arriving any day now.

So now we know where the first splice will be done.

Who has the night vision cameras so we can catch them in action pulling rope?

Thank you! I was looking in the wrong place entirely.

In my defence, I should feel I should point out that the phrase “it doesn’t look as if anything has been strung yet” to me implied I should be looking at the top of the tower for a cable ready and waiting to be strung ..... Not that I should look at the base of a tower for a huge bright spool that is totally unmissable!

With all the griping, speculating, and humor poked at this project it will really be interesting a couple of years from now to look back. I am going to guess that it will turn out that the skyliner system will turn out to be a much safer and more efficient mode of mode of transportation than just about any other transportation system. You can be sure it will be much safer than driving anywhere in Orlando! Any time I drive on I-4 I feel like a target in a shooting gallery.

Better hope the vice squad isn't monitoring your posts...

I'm sure all the survivors will agree with you.

I noticed in one of the bioreconstruct pics of the Pop line there's an American flag on the tower in the lake closest to the shore. I'm guessing this signifies the towers are finished being installed??

in clear weather I agree....I'm going to wait and see what they'll do during bad weather.

Was no notable progress made on the Hollywood cable installation today? I haven't seen any photos or reports.

Probably running 5 nights at this point with the first of five tonight.
