News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

Looks like covers are all off on the Hourglass Lake line.

They still haven't put the permanent railings on the station.

I guess that the total number of gondolas must have been posted in this thread somewhere, but I didn't know how many there were.
Do you know if all 140 will be circulating at the same time?
Thanks!

There are supposed to be 300ish cabins.

I wish they would have skipped the decals.

Goodbye old friend. It was so nice have little to n wait to get into the park through this gate. I fear the IG will never be that way again.

It might not be so bad depending on arrival/departure rates. This will drop a more consistently spaced and sized crowd than almost any other mode of transit on property.

This looks FANTASTIC!!!! Can't wait for Rob's next stream!

Now can we get color on Epcot's line please????

Agreed. I'd like to see what white gondolas with coloured stripes would look like, to match the monorails. Not that it's a great idea because the colours are certainly more "fun," but I'd like to see it nevertheless.

There was a video from a couple weeks back of them cruising around the lake. It gets up to speed surprisingly quick. Obviously, it won't be flying around during evac though.

Looks like they still may need to make the final deck pour. The wooden supports for the deck reveal are still in place and have been there since February.

I apologize if this has been asked already, but is it true that CM previews/testing begin in early August? I feel like I read that in an Attractions Magazine article or something like that

I'm happy to report to those of y'all who were concerned that WDW has made the gondolas ADA accessible for the alligators.
They will now enjoy equal access to those tasty morsels that were up to now out of reach as they passed above the lakes.

Construction should begin any day now!

And when they're not using it to evacuate victims, they can put quite the floating DJ setup on that barge!

Why stop when its being used to evac people. I smell an upcharge event. Plenty of room for a DJ and cupcakes too. LOL

It was so exciting seeing these glide through the air on the way to DHS today!! Cannot wait for these to open

The lower deck is shaded specifically to treat victims of heat prostration.

And instead you get tired death joke after tired death joke and neverending arguments about AC.

I thought in order to be a joke they had to be funny.
