With blinky cubes on them.

Oh, and Magic Bands. With each set of characters from the wraps.

Oh, and Magic Bands. With each set of characters from the wraps.

And there would have to be a magic band for each character matched with every colour Gondola that character appears on. That would increase the number of permutations quite a bit.

I'm looking forward to the reveal of gondola christmas tree light strings. Bonus points to Disney if they don't catch fire.

Oh, and one for the Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs. With an entire set of ornaments at World of Disney.

There definitely will be a set of ornaments coming

When will they make a string of hanging lights based on the art style of the RoL animals? That should have been a no-brainer for merch department.

Blog Mickey posted an update on the IG station today - great pics all around! It looks like the base of the sign over the main entrance (?) has been installed. Also, it appears that the station has restrooms behind the right awning structure

Yes, I'd love those.

Disney often misses the boat on the prime merchandising and technology windows. They're still an entertainment company at heart and only think of these things after customers speak up.

7 adult men seem to fit comfortably. As others have speculated, I don’t think we’ll see 10 per cabin very often.

I thought the consensus seemed to be that POP to CBR and CBR to DHS would likely be open before then.

Just seems to be the work at the IG iteself (not the station) that means the CBR to IG line won’t be ready to open.

Many here (and elsewhere) still think parts of this system will be operational with guests in time for the SW:GE opening.

Just before the gondola left the station with its doors closed, you can see what I think might be the green LED light that we've seen in some night photos/videos. It is not visible when the doors are opened (at least I couldn't see it then), because one of the door slides covers it until they close. That makes me wonder if that light is just an indicator that the doors are shut and it's safe to proceed, and not necessarily just an indicator of occupancy.

The light is green whenever cabin temperature is safely below 207 degrees.

How many of these brave test pilots perished?

 

[nickys]

How many of these brave test pilots perished?

Well since we haven’t heard from them since, presumably none.

The light is green whenever cabin temperature is safely below 207 degrees.

And it therefore follows that the light is malfunctioning, since the imagineers have not been seen since. Either that, or the “safe temperature” was wrongly calculated.

I see it. But the original video of the lighting by P2tP also showed some cabins on line with red lights and the doors closed.

If it is an occupancy indicator, I would think it has to be set by the cm doing the loading somehow, and they just may not have bothered for this ride.
