News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

This exposes how uncultured I am, but what European architecture/style influenced the painting of a mural of birds and plants on the station? It looks pretty, but it just seems.... interesting that they chose that.

Not only that, but they changed the birds displayed in the concept art vs the final product

Another angle of the artwork. It does look nice.

I don't quite get that choice of artwork, but ok, Disney!

Say, why is the character wrap on all the gondolas just Icarus?

They would need to be ridiculously tall lol

They would need to be ridiculously tall lol

Well, the girl in the orange shorts is taller than the construction walls, so, we know definitly that there will be ten foot tall people that could get conked on the head.

Look where the cables are to the tower on the right... the two images are not telling the same story...

 

[flynnibus]

I mean... In paranoid disney land these days no way these gondolas move where near where a guest would be able to reach or obstruct. I just can't visualize how they will do it yet... or avoid the noise in the major walkway

Noise is definietly going to be an issue with the cars going over two towers directly on either side of the path.

I don't think the ancient sky ride at Busch Gardens is that noisy. Why do we think this one will be?

Yeah...I dont know how to give it the same perspective...but the concept drawing looks like it was generous with the angle up from the station as compared to what's being built...but obviously i take it they got it all figured out correctly with enough clearance even for a Navi visitor.

 

[SLUSHIE]

I'm surprised by how colorful the mural is. I by the concept are I assumed it was going to be more in this style.

I also think that since its going to be pretty obstructed by the tower anyways, they should have gone with a simpler 'pattern.'

Agree. When skiing I never really notice the noise from the chairs/cabins passing over the towers. It's not even very loud when you are on an open chair a few feet from the sheaves. It kind of sounds like somebody pushing a wheelbarrow down a sidewalk or something like that.

The lift is noisy when the helper drives spin up to get the cab up to main line speed. Sounds similar to TT.
