News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[JenniferS]

Yes who needs air conditioning when you’re in a metal craft. And its 95 out. And heating up the metal to 150. In your sky lightning. Are those dark cloud with lightning coming this way ? Oh” oh”

Have you ever been one of the first to board a tram; waited five minutes in the blazing sun for others to load; and then waited another five minutes because guests absolutely refuse to collapse their strollers?

At least the gondolas are pretty much constantly in motion.

We’ll live.

He doesn't respond to or read responses people send him.

You'll also find he's quoting a post from February 2017.

It's best just to let him roam, like a new 5000lb white rhino.

You've been here long enough to know. You can't criticize Disney here even if you are being logical.

LOL

Criticism is welcome when it’s warrented, informed, and educated.

Cool! Progress. Thanks for sharing.

Side note....that boy on the right is too big to be in a stroller...

*runs away hoping that isn't yours*

Man, this should be the Spirited Gondola thread....

But his finger is up his nose so it's OK.

Passport to the Parks is doing a live video on his FB page RIGHT NOW of the workers on the gondolas near the DHS station!

It's ending now. I'm sure he'll be throwing some of up on his YouTube channel when he gets the chance.

Half the people watching asked when it will be open, the other half asked if the open construction cabins were going to be the actual cabins.

Not sure if this link will work but here it is:

Is this how people will be rescued when it breaks down? I wonder what the other cables are for?

All rescues can be performed from the ground.

That is pretty cool. You can see a little thing spinning on the cable which is probably wrapping the new cable around the existing one.

Your description sounds exactly like something I have seen a couple of times when crews were running telecom cable along roads. I think the spinny thing spiral wraps a small steel wire around the support cable and the communication cable to bind them together.

I thought that seemed like a more likely explanation than what the video guy came up with. He also kept saying these would have "forced" ventilation, but I thought it was supposed to be passive ventilation. Maybe I don't understand the terms though.

It's both... Passive as in no fans. Forced as in flowing thru the cabin when it's moving.

Yes...because the giant vent slats on the traveling edges and 15MPH forced air breeze through them will not make a difference.

Its not like these things are sealed metal boxes. They are vented, air movement will come from the cabin traveling and the maximum time in a single leg (based on speed and route layout) is less than 4 minutes on the route from Riviara to Epcot.

For reference, when the AC breaks on a monorail, you get almost no ventilation, the travel legs are about the same and the worst anybody complains about is that it smells bad.

Are you saying it will be both? Because I didn't think these were going to have any fans blowing onboard.

 

[MisterPenguin]

There will be no fans.

I think his reference to 'forced ventilation' is that the movement of the gondolas will force air through the open slats. Which means that, for him, 'passive ventilation' would be if the cabin was still and there was warm air moving up and out the top drawing in cooler air from the bottom vents.

Careful, we are flirting dangerously close to AC discussion.
