Strange they aren’t all finished in the same way, the closed in stations look much cleaner and more modern even though I love to see the inner workings of things.

I think it works good for the AOA/Pop station since it's such an open design to begin with. CBR on the other hand probably would have looked better closed in.
It’s going strong. Stations are crowded. I see how they bunch them up to account for strollers/scooters etc.
Looks like CMs and maybe friends and family. Going to see if those are more guidelines- than rules shortly.

Different stations have different design elements in keeping with their locations.
Sleek at Hollywood Studios.
Open at Caribbean Beach...

With all there is to see when riding the Gondola's you are looking at the support towers. Hmmm! Please remember the Gondola's are not an official "attraction" they are meant to be for transport from the resorts to the parks. I noticed a lot of the tires on the buses are dirty, what a fail! Oh, and on the ferry's there is a visable water stain line, it just about ruined my vacation.

I for one welcome our new gondola overlords
Feel free to mute, skip around, and play at 2x speed.
I've decided that the Skyliner is awful because it's so out of focus.
Also at 7:26... a gondola is cleaned!

This one has Spanish!!
Is it too hot?
I always appreciate when Michael Kay brings his brother along. He adds so much to the video...

They will continue to look exactly like they do now. Galvanized Steel. Look at any metal traffic light poles... high power lines.. all the same stuff.
I’m staying at CSR. Wish they would connect them here. BTW Dahlia is a winner. Great view. Prices not bad. Monkey 47 for 15 bucks. I’ve paid 22e for that in Madrid.

Today it finally happened. We spent about 10 stranded minutes above CBR, and we all died. Actually, we had someone in the gondola, who was conned into going by her boyfriend. She was freaking out, and we decided to start talking about evacs from 93'. The death we almost saw was our own from this lady. The doors were not opening, so they were having to open them manually. Other than that another great night of previews. What a fun system and "attraction." It's sad that the greatest new thing at WDW is transportation.

I do think they should have screened or enclosed the overhead equipment at CBR. I don't think the exposed view there was all that necessary.
Anyone see in the videos yet where the cabins are switched onto the lines at CBR? Didn't see too many wandering cameras in these videos when it came to CBR except for the central open area.

I still believe your statement is greatly exaggerated
So... you're saying this is better than Galaxys Edge? Interesting how soon you local fanboys forget. Just like all the Disneyland people complaining there was nothing new announced for Disneyland at D23 and somehow turning a blind eye to the whole Avengers thing.
Lines tonight at IG station for CM previews(not normal crowds) after Illuminations. Not going to comment but you judge for yourself.
If they're filling the cabins, and there are no stops, it would take about 60 seconds to load everyone visible in that picture. (Looks like 50-60 people). If there are twice as many queued inside the station, the wait would be around 3 minutes.
The line was not moving fast.
