They’ll look like.... towers.
I imagine they will be just high enough to clear whatever is below them which may just be Monorail height in a lot of places. The highest will probably be over CBR where is has to pass over the buildings.

from the 18th century right?
Or maybe the early 19th...
I found a place that has them... be prepared to spend about $500 for a good-looking set with multiple towers and extra gondolas.My Christmas list just got a little longer.
I am sure they have already planned out mini sets to sell at WDW to make it a starter in itself.
Still waiting for Rivers of Lights hanging lights in the shape of the floats... so, we'll see if they capitalize in this.
Here's a freebie for marketing: Take the Disney monorail playset and package it with a Disney gondola playset and MK railroad playset.
Late 20th.

Does anyone know approximately how long it will take to get from Caribbean beach to Epcot, and Hollywood studios? Does anyone know if the capacity of theSkyliner be that there's little to no waiting? Thanks!
Based on what we know it will probably about 5 minutes per leg, and it's rumored that Disney is shooting for 4000 to 5000 per hour on each leg.
When you talk about a capacity of 4000 to 5000 per hour, first I assume this is on each leg, but does that mean 4000 to 5000 in each direction, or total in both directions?
The math was worked out above in the thread. From memory: the slowest people per hour that these gondolas would do is 2,400 pph. So, imagine a line with 240 people in it. Six minutes later... it's gone. Some have speculated the pph would be 4-5 thousand... I'm skeptical of that, but if true, would make it twice as fast.
Each leg is about 4-5 minutes. The longest trip would be AoA/PoP to Epcot at 12 minutes (from memory).
Since the line to board and the gondolas would be constantly moving, any wait would seem like nothing compared to waiting for a bus and stop-and-go traffic.

Thanks for replies @danlb_2000 and @MisterPenguin . Do you have to get of the gondola on every leg of the journey? Say if you're going from Caribbean Beach to Epcot, do you have to get out at Riviera? Or if you're going from Pop to Epcot do you get out? Or is there specific gondolas with specific destinations ions on them like buses?
