News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

[Uncle Lupe]

I do not see this working with an EVC. People can barely drive those things toward a stationary targets. Let alone compensating for forward travel.

Could the towers be uglier?

Maybe they will get lucky and the gondola won't just step out in front of a moving vehicle. That improves control by an awful lot.

Yup because the monorail beams are soooo attractive ...

To be clearer when I was there we were being shot at. The beauty must have been carefully hidden. I was basically in Bien Hoa and, at the time, Saigon. The very last place I would have wanted to be at that time was in Hue or Danang. What I will never get out of my mind is the 55,000 young men and women whose last vision was that place. There is an impressive wall in Washington to remind us of that terrible waste of human lives. Vietnam holds no beauty to me.

Thank you for your service.

I was born well after that war, but share your sentiment of having zero interest in Vietnam.

I find them infinitely more attractive than what amounts to the apperence of high voltage power lines strung up all over.

I’m surprised they are not painting them green, but maybe they still will.

Yeah... They could have ad wraps.

Shh don’t give them any ideas. At least your post is buried in a 400+ page thread that I’m sure the Disney spies have long since given up on reading.

Am I wrong in thinking that this will become a legendary thread, to be bumped for years to come, with "will it have an AC?" becoming a running gag joke across the forums?

Photo update as of Sunday, March 11, 2018. More clearing work near the France pavilion at Epcot for the gondola passage through this area to the International Gate station.

As viewed from the France pavilion, three vertical steel beams are visible for the International Gate station (see red ovals).

Wait until the lightning strikes start hitting them...

The IG area and sight lines in particular will be worse off with this project. As we’re starting to see.

It will look just like the gondolas that skim past the real Effiel Tower in Paris.

Considering the force perspective will be off, it will look just like the "Attack of the 200ft gondolas" in comparison to the Eiffel Tower. Of course they can just play it off as the gondolas were simply mutated by the excess radiation that escaped from the defunct Energy pavilion. Maybe that's what Peter Quill was doing in EPCOT Center?

It’ll really add to the American strip mall aesthetic of the station.

...waiting for the "cloaking shield" announcement by WDI...

From 10 mins ago. They are doing construction as we speak.
