News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[lazyboy97o]

Besides, these gondolas aren't ventilated and don't have any required equipment on top...

The photographed gondolas are ventilated. They have cages on the side.

Anyplace getting a giant Ferris wheel?

That's my guess. It doesn't even have to be 'giant.' Those gondolas look like they are two-seaters, four at the most.

If they split those tubes in half, they could make up a bobsleigh run - the Cresta Run is being built after all!

According to the article and the sky wheel website... 6 person and ac.

Look like the right type of gondolas for this (pics from sky wheel.com and related about the myrtle beach sky wheel).

I doubt they are for the Skyliner, to soon for that, but I wonder where they are going. @Lift Blog any ideas?

The photographed gondolas aren't for a ropeway.

Yeah, looks like they are probably for a ferris wheel.

Ferris Bueller attraction, confirmed!

Cant they make "multi room" gondolas? Ie, single "hanging" system but grabbing separate individual gondolas for privacy?

Here are some additional pictures of the International Gateway site from yesterday's marathon. I'm not sure if anything was done between Thursday and Sunday, but these photos are by daylight so it's a lot easier to see what's going on

Will the gondolas have railings to keep you from falling off those dirt mounds?

They need more cones.

They need more cones.

Those are actually quite far apart compared to what they do in many locations around property

Install a piece of sharpened rebar and string some caution tape... That should make it safe!!

How many people will be able to fit on a gondola at once?

I'm still scratching my head.. are people that dense that they require THAT many cones to understand you SHOULD NOT CROSS ?

 

[danlb_2000]

8 to 10.

 

[lazyboy97o]

8 to 10.

You forgot to mention no wheelchairs, strollers, ECVs, first time riders and mismatched socks will be allowed on board.

Playing devil's advocate, they might not be needed to be sure people run the right path, but they may be that dense so that if someone stops running for some reason they are discouraged from stepping aside into the construction area.

An article example of how dense their cone placement is in many locations
