Thanks for the answer. Even if Disney’s will be newer, those gondolas look super cool passing over those slopes. Sometimes on tv the skiers would go through shadows of an overhead gondola, where you could see the cabin, the hook or whatever that’s called, etc. very clearly. I’m not sure Doppelmayr could have gotten better advertising than that.
The most-visited resort in the world will be even better advertising! I hear there won’t be any Doppelmayr logos on the system though. Is this standard Disney practice?
I am sure WDW would allow logos for a slight fee..........
I think I remember back when RnRC and EE were being built, Vekoma wasn't allowed to officially confirm they were the manufacturer. So it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.
Thank God there's an option for heated seats... useful in case the a/c gets too cold, I guess.
Eight tiny generators... why do I think of Santa Clause when I hear that phrase?
Disney controls how and when vendors are allowed to claim specific work with Disney. They must approve the language, images and use of any advertising of work done for them. You won’t find very many public references to Disney from Vekoma, but they have been allowed to openly acknowledge their work at events like the IAAPA Attractions Expo. Disney themselves almost never acknowledge vendors in a wide, public setting.
Ah, I had a feeling I was on the right track. That makes sense. One of the reasons is probably in case some accident happens on any Vekoma coaster, the press won't run over to Disney and ask them what they're doing to fix it and if they're at risk. I think we all know this is something that would happen.
I thinks it’s more marketing a specific image of Disney being the magic maker. The information is out there and the press has shown at times that they know it too.
From the renderings we have seen, no. Not one customer has bought it.
