Wasn't the original Haunted Mansion at Disneyland "unfinished" for six years after the facade was built?

I wouldn't use that as an example of Disney moving slowly on construction. They built the shell of the building with no specific plans, and then took time off while they worked on the World's Fair. A better reference would be to see how long it took them to complete it once they started construction again. (A number I do not know)

The turn by the Boardwalk resort has now been flagged for utilities and has a few survey stakes placed.

 

[GoofGoof]

Rickshaws?

Haha. With Atlantic City bankrupt they have all those rickshaw guys on the Boardwalk just looking for work. Could be the answer.

Who ever said they would be billboards? Perhaps they will look like lanterns from Tangled or tie fighters, or have tinker bell with pixi dust. There's a lot of creativity to be had without DVC logos

Those all sound tacky and awful . . How about they look like a sleek simple yet elegant cab.

What's the problem if a bus works well getting you from point A to point B and it also has some Mickey ears too. I don't see how having characters or mouse ears makes the system any less efficient at transit or makes it a loud distraction.

Here's the resort cruiser bus from Tokyo:

Vs the busses we have had at WDW:

I'll take the Tokyo ones any day.

I'd be fine with the gondolas taking some design inspiration from the Tokyo monorail too. They have Mickey ear windows which differentiates it from a generic train, but are subtle enough to not be a gaudy distraction in the environments it travels through. That to me is how a customization should be done.

I really love there monorail...mickey windows....wood floors....class but not cheeky.

What would you like to know?

All of it....tell me all of it...

Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.

 

[NormC]

Two and half years.

No exaggeration.

Correct. Unfortunately the exaggeration on this board goes from that to as much as four years.

Happy to set the record straight.

There's a Gondala system which is really Hi tech in Madeira - which has high temperatures such as Orlando - with No AC - I went on it last year and it was warm inside but soooo much more comfortable than a bus that's full of screaming and yelling and loud talking which is all they ever seem to be now.
The breeze came through the window and it was really quite comfortable. There not exactly going to dismiss this temperature issue but they wouldn't make everyone get in a sweat box without thinking of the consequences.

I'm personally more troubled about these things going across the Boardwalk resort which is my home and really don't think that it will enhance anything for the resort there. Will become a pain or An eye sore running over the car park or a giant cable system and pylon will take up room in the car parking lot that is needed.

Shirley you must be joking.

I'm not joking.

And stop calling me Shirley.

But, as I was saying, there's a problem with the Gondola System.

Does parking there get that bad?
