News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

So there’s no air conditioning?

I hear the air is constantly moving. With that kind of conditioning it will be in shape in no time!

We will see.

Seems like good news to me! Not as fun as a monorail but definitely much better than a bus... Is there still talk of doing some kind of light rail type system throughout property? Sorry if I'm mistaken about that haha

Everything indicates these will be much MORE fun than the monorail.

Especially the bank balance.

Someone needs to mock up Gondola's going thru the Contemporary.

You must not have any engineering experience and must not have looked at Google Earth.
First, there are no existing canals going from either Coronodo Springs or Carribean Beach to other locations. Any new canals would have to cross major four lane roads requiring very expensive bridges. Assuming the water table is at 2' as you say you would still have to dig at least another 4' or 5' to have enough for even pontoon boats and to take into account seasonal variations in water levels.
Sorry, your idea just doesn't hold water....

I realize that this is just an idea, kicking around these threads, but I do want to point out that when Buena Vista Drive and World Drive were being rebuilt near Old Key West, new bridges over the canal extension were built, and built a few feet higher than the road, leaving enough room underneath for the current ferryboat to pass. Of course it would take a lot of work and water rerouting to make this work (and any extension to Caribbean Beach would have to cross Bonnet Creek property ?) but .... just my 2 cents.

Does this mean the gondolas are going to hogwarts via i-drive

Only other places you could easily get to from the existing line are POR, POFQ, OKW, and SSR. It would make each resort much more desirable.

Just make sure it doesn’t look like a symbol for dark times in the 1930s and ‘40s.

There wouldn't be two way traffic. For instance, there would be a Coronado Springs to Caribbean Beach canal which is one way. To get back you would use the Caribbean Beach to Coronado Springs canal which runs roughly parallel. With the high Florida water table it would be no more than a 2 ft trench.

I have to admire the minimalist grace of your defensive ranting. One paragraph, no wasted words. Almost as if this wasn't really the brilliant idea that's representing your whole identity on the internet.

.....or just ride a nice, warm bus instead!

No way. Wait 20 minutes in the "cold" for the bus or hopping on the Gondola and being where I want to be in the same time or less. Will be there in Dec. and can't wait to try them out.

Update your will.

Did it yesterday.

Found out my life insurance pays out in cases of either hypothermia or hyperthermia. Phew. Wanna be sure my kids can go to college (for a semester).

Better than my life insurance... The kids would barely be able to buy books.
