News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

There already is a giant crush tho.

A giant Sigourney Weaver? But seriously, given the size ratios they are trying to maintain and the size Crush is at AoA, a giant Bruce would be just about the right size... unless they went with something from Finding Dory and went with Destiny...

Regarding marni's hint, think about the more expensive resort's theming near the bridge.

How about a building styled like the Sydney Opera House? And by the way, magic feather, my daughter loves your user name. Dumbo is her favorite.

This is all going to end up on a lot of other sites...Twitter...FB....

I think the first part is right - waves. It will have a wave shaped roof

You or anyone can request any style you want: Circus tents; giant dog houses; pirate ships, etc.... It won't matter. Permits are filed and even preparatory ground work has begun in one area. This means the architecture is set. Nothing is going to change it at this time.

Permits being filed does not mean the architectural design is finished. The fast-track building process has construction start before design is complete.

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

Right, it was delayed because they were busy working on all the projects for the '64 world's fair.

This station is clearly just part of the change over Pop to AoA version 2.0. Something cartoon-y for sure

Well, that's disconcerting.

OTOH, @marni1971 seems to have seen (or heard about) at least some finished designs. I think.

There is nothing disconcerting about it. It is a perfectly legitimate project delivery method. It's very much what enables themed entertainment projects to change so much during the design process.

Architecture is much, much more than the design intent and overall aesthetic. Mundane stuff like the type of door hinges that will be used is part of the architecture being completely designed.

I know that Gateway and Studios' designs are finalized. AoA has two options, and CBR and DVC are just nailing down the details. This is as of about a week ago, so something may have changed.

I wonder if Pop Century & Art of Animation will be rebranded as a Hollywood Studios Resort. Thematically it would make sense and given its new connection it would make even more. Tie that in with @marni1971's hint...
@Magic Feather thoughts?

 

[Laketravis]

I can only imagine the level of speculation that would have ensued had this been a permit for a gate...........

8th gate (including Disney Springs & waterparks) confirmed.

I can't wait to see the EPIC foundations for this station. They are going to be HUGE. Why? The stresses on the building to keep it firmly in place are going to be pretty large especially with the craptacular soil conditions of Florida.

Its probably going to come down to almost ground level, so they won't be extremely huge.
