News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[raymusiccity]

I think only a very small portion of the gondola route at WDW is inaccessible to a fire engine with ladder.

Plan B :

With DHS station being the first station started that makes sense. Hoping we see testing on the AoA/Pop line soon since it looks to be mostly complete. My guess is that testing on the Epcot line will be last since the Riviera turn is still looking like mostly a construction zone.

Epcot testing should begin next month.

Bear in mind as each line is tested for a while, don’t be surprised to see what looks like a period of nothing happening.

I have the best idea for the Gondola routes. Like the water pageant does for the monorail, Disney should create some sort of night show along the treelines of the Gondola routes to provide that extra magic/entertainment/immersion that they are so famous for.

"Periods of Nothing" could be a book describing every WDW construction project of the 21st century. It could also be an alternative name to Rivers of Light.

Or the entire time spent in the invisible gravity building at Epcot

Another Gondola video.

I was clocking the system at a little over 2,000 PPH (8 per gondola) at one point, but, over the past few weeks, speed and loads have been constantly shifting.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Clocking 2,500 pph with 8 per gondola.

And another video (no gondolas in motion)...

This lift has enough room to evacuate a Skyliner cabin while guests are also serenade by the Dapper Dans.

Nope, upcharge M&G with rare characters

Might be because it was built to support Monorail car evacutions. Its not new or designed for skyliner.

Nor is it designed for monorail evacuations....

Except the one RCES has, has been customized specifically for monorail rescues. Does turn out the one pictures here is not that.

 

[begood524]

Noticed that the doors did not open at all in the station

 

[DoppelmayrFTW]

Clocking 2,500 pph with 8 per gondola.

these are 10 person gondola cabins, not 8

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

these are 10 person gondola cabins, not 8

I'll be interested to see how many of these ever leave the station with 10 WDW tourists aboard...

Yeah, I can't imagine my family of four sharing a gondola car with another family of four.
Maybe some, quiet, clean well disciplined family.
I don't know, it's a private sized space - like sharing a passenger car with a group of strangers.
I can only imagine the nightmare of getting in a car with another family that might have two kids screaming and bouncing off of the walls.
Or any combination of poor personal hygiene.
