Wow! That's a lot of pizza! I usually get mine by the box.

Because up until now, anybody opting to wear Speedos was guaranteed a private pool experience?

It's ugly, but at least it's not blocking a balcony. You can just walk 10 feet in either direction down the walkway to get an unobstructed view.
I keep thinking of a ship's mast from a shipwreck as I look at it, but "go away blue" or similar would probably be better than theming it to a mast. Wonder if bird dropping look better on painted or unpainted towers?

Seems like in the dark of night, with the parks closed along with guests eyelids nothing is going to be visible, not if they are there or they aren't there. It must be just a need for some type of neatness on your part. Just imagine that they put them away every night and it will work as well as them needlessly moving them in and out of storage. Dangling on the line, is what gondola's do for a living.

Just a guess here but I would imagine that each gondola would have to be checked in the morning before passengers are allowed to board to see if any need cleaning or to be taken off the line and replaced with spares. But, as far as taking them off the line every night that would be a horrible waste of time and money.

The last thing that anyone wearing a speedo is concerned about is privacy. That is a classic exhibitionist garment.

I saw a youtube video the other day of a guy walking between caribbean and the new resort loading stations through CBR and he said that they will paint the poles . I think he said after they run the cables at full load they will do scans on the poles to see if there is any cracking and the paint will get in the way of the test

I like that his channel is live a lot, but He’s shown He isn’t the most knowledgeable source on how this system actually operates. He also once stated they would have (I’m estimating here as I don’t remember exact number He gave) 8 maintenance personnel per line for this system. That’s overkill! Again, I like that He’s live a lot, but insiders here have stated numerous times the poles are staying “as is”. So take info with grain of salt...
He was also quoting his source Rob (forgot last name, he's in the rope game) that it will go 17-19 mph. I kept telling him that was wrong, but... his sources were wrong. And his source isn't from within Disney, but the outside who's supposedly knows what Disney is doing.
So, yeah, they're not painting the tower.
But.. those nubs...
Robbie Von Roll, of the Von Roll family that built a great many amusement park sky rides in the U.S., including the ones at DL, MK, & at Busch Gardens, as well as lots of ski lifts. The Von Roll company was absorbed by Doppelmayr.

Did he look like this guy?
That’s not how you test for cracks... and as the professional engineer behind the designs you don’t build it and then do a check to see if it worked or not.
This claim is beyond ill informed. Besides, this isn’t a new design.

I doubt that's true.
If it was the green poles by epcot would still be galvanized steel.
Plus you don't go to the effort to use galvanized steel if you plan to put other protective coatings on things.

Those turn sections look bit weird and too simple but it's not a sim. This is a nice expansion.

To add to what others have said, galvanized steel is very difficult to paint. You use galvanized steel for things so you don't have to paint it. If they were going to be painted they would have come from the factory that way like the ones near the international gateway.
