Apparently everyone ignores me too! 3 pages of discussion later and finally someone agrees with me.

I have you on ignore.

2. Why would the control booths only have small porthole windows that start 6 feet off the ground? That makes me think that these are restrooms, but the structure is only about 7 feet wide*, which doesn't seem wide enough for a restroom.

They don't, there is a larger window cut out as well. See https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads...-disney-skyliner.924477/page-637#post-8421524

If it is just an employees restroom, they probably only need a single with a door that locks, correct?

It depends on the number of employees at the work location. I imagine there'll be less than a half dozen cm's working at the station at one time. I'm not sure Disney would want to go the expense of running a sewer line out to the middle of the bridge, rather than just give them the time to walk to the Pop or AoA main building.

I have to think the pool of applicants will be very small.

With the way the job market is going there will be a lot of people coming out of retirement.

Great point!

That is very little money compared to what a settlement would be on a job action. A few thousands out of what? 200 million total budget?

I'm sure this wouldn't fly at Disney, but in the ski industry lift ops regularly pee in the woods. When we gave relief breaks that was generally expected.

They can just pee in the lake.

It is so refreshing that we have finally moved on from a/c discussions to restrooms.

What is the job market like for a person with these qualifications?

I vote for @Lift Blog !

The urban gondola system in La Paz moved 318,532 passengers last Wednesday. A new record that shows just how capable these things are. That's equivalent to the daily ridership of the 8th busiest rail system in America.

Im all for this but the entrance to Hollywood Studios is a mess. Not that the gondola is a result but the walk is horrible from the bus and parking lot.

It is only temporary. Looks like about a month to go.

All in one day? If so, that's incredibly impressive

3.7 people per second, 221 per minute (3 buses) spaced evenly over a 24 hr period. Peak time speed would be totally awesome.
Any one have a true update: ie. towers up, towers to go, any reasonable time for cable installation?

Everything is pointing to cable installation beginning of December.

How exactly do they install the cables for this?

I agree, I had to do the walk at like 6 am for the TSL AP thing and it was miserable, especially worse when it was hot out. It just keeps going and going.

Someone climbs the tower with a little rope and pulls up a larger rope then pull up the wire rope. Maybe "pulls up" is not correct, threads through the cable sheaves would be better. The pulling is done on the ground
