There’s a chance. Depends on testing.

Nice paint job on that tower.

Please, let the testing run smoothly and quickly! Please, let the testing run smoothly and quickly!

He still seems to have this belief of AC on board.

I didn't say that.
I said lighting, music, announcments.

Wishful thinking is my guess...

@2:13, he speculates about potential future inclusion. I think that's what he's referring to.

There is considerable finishing work that needs to be done at POP and HS, more so at HS.

Great video:

If you watch toward the end he shows in slow motion the door-closing mechanism at work, and it's definitely mechanical and not electrical.

My understanding is CWA is working on electric gondola doors but they are not available quite yet. The French competitor is live with theirs already. Also these cabins are definitely Omega IVs, not Omega Vs.

I step into this warily...
I suppose there could be some validity to the idea that there could be a retrofit if passengers indicated too much suffering down the line.

We may be in luck! My girlfriend, who is afraid of heights, not so much LOL

My 10yo daughter has expressed some trepidation about riding these, but I keep telling her she'll be fine. I hope I'm right and she doesn't really freak out on me!

I should also note she rides the sky ride at our local amusement park ALL.THE.TIME. and loves it, so if she can handle that I am quite confident she'll be fine on these. Not sure what her problem is, tbh.

Battery capacitor. LOL. Which one is it? They are not the same thing.

Just ask them to leave the wrapper on your cabin
Never know how high you are. Might roast faster though...

It's a "high capacitor battery"...

Dude should buy some sunscreen with his YouTube ad proceeds.

This is when vloggers need to learn that just because you capture it.. doesn't really make you qualified to describe it. Grab your video, then grab a subject matter expert to describe it with you on your videos.

This is like learning about modeling from this guy..

Battery capacitor. LOL. Which one is it? They are not the same thing.

Probably supercapacitors. That's what's used now on wireless trams (streetcars) because they can be charged very quickly. I think they're also used to run the a/c on the Emirates Airline London gondolas. They work like a super-fast charging battery, so I understand the confusion.

I enjoy his videos, but his technical info is often sketchy. I appreciated the explanations of the charging and door mechanism (that's the first time I've really seen the door operation clearly), but I'm wondering if he's passing on what someone (like Vonroll101) told him.
