Should be fun in the summer. Hot Fartbox in the sky.What no AC unit?
You mean it won't have AC?!?!?!What no AC unit?
Looking at those prices there would still be sub $200 rooms available after the increase.

Do you even know what lightning rods do or how they function. You really should look it up, because it is a safety feature not a death sentence.

@Lift Blog, is there a reason for the gondolas to be delivered individually as seen in the photos?

Without lines strung, it would be for testing the stations. Probably clearances. Don't need more than one for that.

Are there going to be cameras inside the gondolas? Asking for a friend.

There will be a Photopass photographer in each gondola with a MagicShot of you with a villain who has fallen to their death.

Okay, time for some stupid speculation, but honest questions. How are they going to deal with the heat, without AC?
I know venting was mentioned earlier, but on day when it is 95 degrees outside, venting is not going to help much.
In conjunction with that question, what happens if the system stops for even a short period. We have all heard about
what can happen to people in a hot car, now we put 6 or 7 other passengers in that hot car without. Finally, if those
are the way the gondolas are going to be mounted, was any thought in to the glare that will be coming off of them?
They are supposed to travel over some roads, aren't they?

Why, what is "your friend" planning on doing in the gondola?
The issue with heat has been rehashed many times in this thread. The upshot: Passive ventilation of a vehicle traveling about 13 mph creates enough of a 'breeze' (like you're coasting on a bike). You don't have direct sunlight on you like you when you are walking around the park (how do people survive that?!). If you can survive in a bus queue in the heat, you can survive in a gondola which will only be one to two degrees warmer than ambient air.
As far as glare... no more so than vehicles passing directly over your line of sight on a bridge/overpasss.

As @wdwmagic pointed out it could be that this one was on the truck because it's damaged. For all we know they've receieved many more and this one is simply a reject.

Thank you, I do appreciate the response.(honestly) I am glad I can count on a nice, humid, 97 degree breeze.(a little sarcastic)

They must be hydraulic devices or something that makes things lighter.
Just kidding. I know it was just a typo.

And a one way trip on these things is going to be like three to five minutes...Its not like we are talking about spending 25 minutes in these things. Im constantly amazed at how these questions keep coming back up.

Lack of AC is a legitimate concern. I don’t know why it’s being dismissed so facetiously on this thread.
An exec from a competitor of Dopplemayr was quoted earlier in this thread as noting temps inside their cabins are 1.5 degrees hotter than outside and that they continue to work on the possibility of AC in cabins.
When it’s 95 degrees out, a 96.5 degree gondola isn’t going to be appealing to guests (who will be paying extra for the privilege). But try to discuss that here and all you all get are jokes about baking and alligators.
