Despite being the cheaper one, I like the look of what is shown in the art.

The other version looked quite similar. Multi level roof, glass walls. Same wave roof but at 3 different heights.

Are you going to cough up the billions to replace the fleet?

Just let me know who to make the check out to.

The Doppelmayr box shed is obscured by this angle.

I like that it is so close to the water. Very innovative.

Not from this one though. At least it looks nice from the other angles.

Well,

Of course it is.

What exactly is innovative about being close to the water? It is being built just high enough to clear anything below it, hardly an innovative idea.

Plus, water is the easiest thing to build over and it doesn't grow like trees/plants and also won't impede future construction (unless you're removing the lake). Hardest part is just building the footers.

It's certainly within an alligator's jumping range!

Water is not easy to build over. This station will be the one with the deepest and most complex foundations. Not really innovative, but definitely not the easiest.

I can't think of another transportation gondola that does this. Maybe in a nature park but not as purely transport.

Go over water? So you're not familiar with the invention of the bridge?

I don't think they are building a bridge too.

Well, there is the integrated bridge for the POP/ AoA station

Especially in Florida, where the presence of water typically indicates unstable ground.
Of course, with this being in the general EPCOT area and bodies of water being moved around/created, who knows what the pylon areas would be like.

Is this artwork on display at Epcot as part of Festival of the Arts? Where specifically is it located?

If they're like the other posters, they're on the construction wall next to the gondola station being built.

London..

 

[Mainahman]

I wonder if they kept it low so they don't have to maintain roof cleaning schedules ha!

That’s wimpy English water, not strong American water.
