News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[SLUSHIE]

Question for the experts....what do you think the chances are The Skyliner is open by Sept. 26th ??

All Disnay has said is 'fall'. It very well could be functional long before that but it sounds like they aren't intending to open it.

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but do we think they will charge for this transportation, or only allow resort guests to use it?

No charge, open to everyone.

No specific charge, but expect to see a premium at those resorts that offer it.

Looking at the gondola install pic: I'm impressed by that man's balance. Tightrope walking as a profession (outside of the circus). Why did my high school guidance counselor not have this one on his "hot jobs to have" sheet? Bet he makes good money too.

Gonna need a bigger cart.

Wonder why they are loading them at different stations instead of all at CBR. CBR would seem to be the easiest place to load them.

To be able to begin commissioning at the same time on all lines. This would allow for opening all lines at once instead of a phased opening?

I assume they aren't really "loading" all of them but rather they have a single test cabin at each station. Unless I somehow missed that there were multiple cabins in those photos.

I think that this is the case because I saw an article on another site today that had a picture of a gondola at Caribbean Beach in the station on the Epcot line.

This must be almost ready? Testing the skyliner with lots of cabins would surely indicate the start of service.

Yes, but you could load them all at CBR and run them out to the other stations. CBR is designed to take cars on and off the line so it should be the easiest way to put them on.

Stations need to be done before they can open.

going back and reading the first few pages of this thread are great to read now...

If only some would learn the difference between “I don’t know how they will...” or “my concerns are...”.... and flat out trying to dismiss stuff as not possible... when they really just don’t know

How would anyone other than a resort guest use it since you can't park at a resort unless you are a guest? People could ride to and back from a resort from a park just for a "joy ride" or to go to a restaurant but otherwise I don't think they aill have too many non-resort riders to deal with.
