News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[Sped2424]

Not yet anyway. Just thinking it is possible that with a very friendly regulatory environment and a successful economic turnaround that WDW could be verging on a renaissance that eclipses the Disney decade by a wide margin. Purely theoretical on my part but it isn't the first time I have gone out on a limb when discussing WDW. The gondolas, BTW, may just be an indicator of the forward thinking happening now. Remember, the Imagineers were told to think big when reimagining Future World.

The way you hop from nothing to a conclusion is astounding. But for the sake of my sanity and everyone else's please stop.

It happens everytime when you take a hit from the pixie dust bong....

As in 'Big Revenue per SqFt' you mean

It took a year and a half to build a gazebo at the Animal Kingdom...we will be lucky to see any of this actually done by 2020.

I swear the Gazebo debacle will be the most hilarious and blatant examples of slow building of Disney.. before.. it was Dwarf mine train.

The mine train timeline is exaggerated often.

The mine train timeline is exaggerated often.

Mine train was about 31 months which is actually better then average for WDW's recent new attractions.

The mine train timeline is exaggerated often.

Two and half years.

No exaggeration.

Two and half years.

No exaggeration.

That seems like a long time, but I am no engineer.

It was.

Many an engineer had a good laugh.

 

[RobotWolf]

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

Maybe longer then it could have taken, but actually quick compare to other recent WDW rides.

 

[Kman101]

2 and half years is quick by Disney standards. JMO when a lot of projects take up to three years. When does Rat start construction since it won't open until 2020?

 

[jt04]

The mine train timeline is exaggerated often.

Especially when you consider it was a last minute change for a system that was apparently still in the r&d stage if that.

Of course Imagineering could always go the easy route and start cranking out screen based attractions in an assembly line fashion. Then people would complain about that.

NPR just tweeted this out.

Gondolas must be all the rage. Coming to Cleveland, Ohio!

2 and a half years is downright speedy when you consider it took Disney 9 months to move the Studio Backlot Tour trams, those had wheels and an engine.

Considering the attention and capacity of that ride...Its still an amazing attraction.
I mean, almost everything moves or has details.
Now we are lucky if we get 4-5 moving parts in the entire ride. Last ride of this level of detail was.. what? Splash Mountain?

I'm sure a few weren't working due to the maintenance they didn't receive over the years

Where is this from?

We did indeed...

For those there is this newfangled invention called a tow truck...
