Those are test and adjust cast. The opening team application period ended only last week.
You mean the Application send end period?? Then TDO has to go through them, call/interview people, then hire and train.... I'm no boss so no clue how long all that takes.

1 thing new since this morning: Someone Tweeted WDW about the 28th and WDW responded with no date.... IDK if that makes TC right or wrong...

they are likely referring to the internal transfer/hire options shared to other CMs.

This is Inaccurate. Those are opening team cast. there is no such thing as Test and adjust cast members that would just come to test and adjust a system and then leave.

Believe what you want.
It's not a matter of believing. If you can share with me even one time at Disney use a "test and adjust cast" and then release them afterwards Please go ahead and do so in the meantime you can believe what YOU want. They cast that there is the opening team. I am a cast member myself. Don't try to tell me what I don't already know. I will double down on this. The cast that is there IS they opening team. They are not some fictional test and adjust team. That is not something Walt Disney World does, period.

I mean they do...there are cast members who literally work test and adjust for certain attractions but don’t necessarily open it...

Well here is hoping RC can evac faster then Vail does. Clearly they can break out and odds say they will eventually.


I wrote a story on this one with more details: https://liftblog.com/2019/07/08/vails-eagle-bahn-gondola-reopens-following-tower-issue/

Summary: A significant component failure that luckily resulted in no injuries.

No. For a new park, yes. For a single thing, NO. So again, share with me a time they did this with a single thing. I have decades of experience with Disney, over two decades, and I don't know but maybe you do.

There are a couple of cast member friends of mine who are actually on a test and adjust team, who will not stay for opening. They will not get released from the company, but they'll get either transferred back to their original role or into another role if they don't stay for the opening team. I have a couple of friends who are also only going in just for the opening team.

I believe you. That said the vast majority of those working on the Skyliner now are permanent opening team cast members. The casting call for opening team went out months ago.

All the attractions that opened at Universal when I worked there had such a team They were literally there to work with the engineers to get it running. The cast is advised working this is no guarantee to be on the opening team as the goals are different. I would imagine Disney does the same

At Universal both Kong and F&F had such a team.

What causes a tower to separate like that? And what sensors would alert the staff that a tower has “bent”?

I don't know maybe being on a freakin mountain had something to do with it???

It probably went out of alignment so brittle bars and/or rope position detectors. There are no sensors on the steel tube itself. If a communications line broke, a whole bunch of faults would have appeared.
