That does bring up a good question, on those chilly mornings and evenings, how much air flow within the gondolas? Enough to freeze everyone in the cabin?

I figured out what they are going to do. When each gondola comes into the station, they will place a hose on a coupler on the outside of the gondola. They will then pump in A/C which should last for the entirety of the ride.
I'm joking. I couldn't care less about A/C. One, it's Florida and people should expect it. Two, we'll be standing in line in stagnant and somewhat smelly air when in the parks without A/C. Three, the rides aren't that long. Four, I simply don't care.
I think that it will be a fun and relaxing ride between the resorts/parks. Only sad that it took this long.

Seriously, the A/C thing again?

We could make it better. If I'm sitting in my non A/C gondola and a woman carrying a sleeping child is assigned to the gondola as well, is it offensive to offer her my seat and stand the entire ride?Seriously, the A/C thing again?

But what about the handicap people and lightning?

I honestly think that air conditioning will not be a problem. At higher altitudes, it gets a little cooler, so being almost a hundred feet off the ground with a breeze through the cabin should help. And with the glass being tinted and mirrored, not much sunlight should get in.

100’?

I thought they had already stated that it would run low to the ground...not high altitudes... (?)

You know, I am sure Disney didn't think of any of "issues" when deciding to invest $250M in this project. The joke is getting pretty stale guys and gals, lets move on.

Its never going to get anywhere near 100 feet off the ground. Half that, at most.
And while it does get cooler at higher altitudes, 100 feet isn't going to make a difference. 500 feet and you'd get a few (2-5F) degrees in the right conditions, but 100? None whatsoever.

How about 20 feet in most areas.

And we all know from our basic science classes in school that hot air rises so the lower we are to the ground the cooler it will be. I'm thinking about bringing a parka. Worst case scenario with the lower altitude is that it will be unlikely that we will roast to death, however, heat exhaustion and dehydration will be a real thing considering it will be a ride of over 10 minutes without a water source.

But you are from Texas, so, there is not much that can really rattle you..

The bottom of the cabins are going to get to 40 or so when its going over CBR. But most the line, yes, is going to be around 20 feet off the ground.
