News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[Kamikaze]

Frost? In San Diego? Visited many times in December. While cool, no frost. You'd have to get in the low 30s for frost. San Diego's climate is temperate, due to being on the ocean and part of semi-arid Southern CA.

CA gets powerful ocean-based storms in the winter. So a "large gust of wind" isn't unusual.

San Diego is about 100 miles south of Anaheim on I-5.
It has (since 1955) never snowed at Disneyland.
So 100 miles south of that its not happening either.

Yes, I know.

I live in a city where we get temperatures on average of 0F to -10F, and ski resorts have gondolas similar to the one WDW is installing, and they never break down. So even the coldest temperature imaginable in Orlando won't stop the Skyliner.

Well, Floridians do consider temperatures in the 60s the start of a new ice age...

Can we lock this thing or nuke it? This system has nothing to do with the Skyliner. My ‘67 Pinto broke down, so it must mean our 2019 Odyssey will.

At some point it will ...

I have not followed the gondola story so I apologize if this has been asked but are people really concerned that they will die on the gondolas?

As far as breaking down, the monorail seems to break down often.

If a safety tripped... like. A brittle bar.. would they be able to bypass that normally? Or I guess since you can’t really inspect the alarm if it’s inaccessible you have to err towards respecting it even if it looks ok from the ground..

It depends on the lift. Some have multiple brittle bar systems so that one can be bypassed safely. Other times the brittle bar has to be replaced. Neither would explain a four hour evacuation. There has to be more to the story.

There is a section of the populace that beleive this.

sadly, yes. most of these people have no problem getting on a 50mph roller coaster though... it's quite the hypocritical hysteria going on over on the gondola construction thread. people think they're going to but struck by lightning, fall out, get decapitated by incoming low flying gondolas, spontaneously combust due to no A/C, get taken out in a hurricane.

It always amazes me when we go there during the holidays and it gets colder at night, people are wearing big winter coats with beanies, girls in their UGG boots. Me I'm wearing a hoodie with a cap and I'm feeling warm. Habit of living if the south I guess.

But is it the flaming death trap the Pinto was?

It's the thinned blood thing....

Don't leave out "get eaten by alligators after falling out".

I know I’m going to have my affairs in order prior to riding.

You have to have an affair before riding
