We did team-building at Disney and all I got were these bandages on my feet.

Not sure if this has been settled yet, but gondolas were on the Studios line as of 8:30ish this evening. No movement on the line and the Studios station was dark, so I’m guessing they’re staying on the line overnight.
They've been sleeping on the line overnight for some time now. Maybe two weeks

Gotcha, tonight was the first time seeing them in person. They’re cute snoozing under the stars all wrapped up in their tarps

This really wont be true since all the station EXCEPT Riviera have the extra loop to unload ECVs Strollers Wheelchairs etc.
No clue why they didn't include the extra loop at Riviera.
Por favor manténgase alejado de todas las cabinas
ETA: Did I nail this, or what... see post #11,300...

could have been worse.. metallic silver paint .. nothing like getting instantly blind as you enjoy your skyliner.. and then it focuses the beams below you for a more even roasting experience.

Well.. skyliners have doors too.. so the older spiel fits too.

It isn’t a terminal station, so there’s nowhere for the extra loop to go. At least, that’s my understanding. In any case, only ECVs should be an issue, others should be able to manage just fine without it. If you can push a stroller or wheelchair through a door, you can do it onto and out of a gondola cabin. I’m sure the CMs will help as well.

They weren’t entirely wrong. The shortest leg is 3-5 minutes, the longest (CBR to IG) 5-8 minutes. I can’t remember what speeds people were working with to get those times.
So the doors may well open every 3 minutes. To let people off!
Well, the could have a pull-off if they wanted to. The cabins are detached from the main haul rope as it goes through the station. At that point, it's on a track with tires pushing it along. They could have divided that track to pull off a cabin for extra loading time.

That’s the map I needed, thanks!
Too bad that wasn't in the video

I'm surprised it's not the same voice as the monorails and buses

Im not really sure about how the circulator bus will run, like if it will include CBR and Riviera, but there is a chance that somebody with that much issue would be dropped at or directed to the CBR station. I see the Riviera station being more of a convenience station than a fully equipped one. For people staying in Aruba and the remainder of Martinique, its likely going to be easier for them to get to the Riviera station...In addition, it would be easier for these people to get to the Studios if they just cut out the half gondola leg for the transfer.
Again, this is all a "what if" based on lack of knowledge if the CBR resort bus will include Riviera, which would actually make sense.

True but the misinformation infuriates me...Mama always said, “You can’t fix stupid...but you can numb it with a 2x4” LOL

But a 2x4 isn't really 2"×4"
