Honestly if they give a discount for having this "ruin" the view from the room I'll book that in a heartbeat!

That's all I could think of and now this song is stuck in my head. Well, just the chorus.

I’m curious where all the other Skyliner supports are within CBR. Can anyone post a map and Star the supports?
Discount? Heck, that's a new upcharge -- "Tower View Room."

People were having epic meltdowns on one of the other boards. "It's destroying the view!!" (of the parking lot)
The other one that got my attention was that somehow they are going to be so loud, there is no way anyone will be able to sleep with the tower so close to the room (guess the poster thought the towers have motors on them)
You won't be able to hear the wheels and cables over the screams of the dying passengers anyway.

Yeah, the site that shall not be named pointed that thing out and mentioned it was much taller than other towers, hopefully to keep out prying eyes, and that it's also on an end of the building with no guest room windows facing directly at it.
I see you...
What is that -- the Gondola of Sauron?

Looks like there are really only 3 towers near rooms.

Nobody mentions the Polynesian rooms that are at monorail eye height and are about 15 feet away from the tracks...Id rather have the tower by me than having a train full of sweaty guests cruising by my room windows.

That must be the room people will get if they arrive at 2 AM.
I can just hear the front desk employee making sure the guest never leaves the sidewalks as they get near the rooms.

Don't think noise would be so much of an issue, but i wouldn't be too surprised if they eventually encase the lower portion of the tower in something more aesthetically pleasing as it does look pretty rough.

I do wonder if you'll hear anything as the gondolas pass over the wheels on the tower. It's high enough up and pretty quiet anyways so I would doubt it.
Personally, I think this system will look nice once it's in motion since most will focus on the gondolas and not the towers. It'll add some nice movement to areas.

Also don't forget the fact that most of the resorts have exterior walkways which go right by the room windows. If you have a problem with people looking in or wanting privacy for when you and your partner are "making mickey" then just close your blinds...

Just when you think there can't be any other euphemisms.
What about the Contemporary Resort? The monorail ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE HOTEL!!! AND people pay a premium to experience this!!
