You have to have an affair before riding

I would suppose you would most likely have one while riding. I see a lot of those "We are going to die anyway so let's do this!" fantasies playing out.

I was thinking of the 35 foot high club.

Most magical place on earth.

I want to see the bus that can take the route that the gondola takes.

I think evacuations will be easy. It's just a matter of sweeping up your melted parts into a small bucket since it will be a thousand degrees inside those boxes.

Two words ... drain holes.

Fair, but duck boats have a safety record worse than even buses when you're looking at per thousand riders.

 

[Kamikaze]

Yes, I know.

Was just backing you up.

Ewwww

How did i know when i saw this story someone would try to make this comparison. This isn't even apples to oranges, it more apples to steak. A whole different classification

What comparison?

It's interesting because it's an example of an actual evacuation. Something that will, at some point, happen at WDW.

It could be years and years before it does, however. I know a lot of lifts at ski resorts have NEVER been fully evac'd.

By testing and trials do you mean the actual cabins with the “wrap” or cover off and actual people inside? We have seen some video and pictures of the gondolas testing but they are still wrapped.

Wrap on , and start up CM's going through procedures . Looking for bugs and hiccups etc. Don't expect to see anything soon this process will take a while.

Or you're at CBR or BWI.

Ummm CBR, yeah that's it CBR

That's why I said 'at some point' - not suggesting it's a common thing - but it will happen. Disney will work hard to prevent it - but ultimately there will be some scenario where they can't - or won't - advance the cabins on one of the lines and the people will have to be evac'd. But even when that does happen, I don't fear people melting for being stuck in the heat.

It's just probability. And given WDW will run more hours a day, more days a year, than most systems... they have to work that much harder to reduce their chances of the probability actually leading to a halt.

We do know the system’s capabilities because it is a known product. It a Doppelmayr D-Line, the latest model from one of the industry leaders and several generations removed from the old Von Roll Type 101s that is at SeaWorld San Diego and was at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom.

I’m referring to it having a cooling system and speed capabilities as referenced before. Has this all been confirmed already?

There is no AC, just passive ventilation. Confirmed.
System capable of 15.6 MPH (7 meters per second) but said to be running at 11 MPH.
