While it will help the worried well with not having to wait for an ECV to be loaded into a bus it should also make for a much more enjoyable experience for the people in ECVs too. It should be much more less of a spectacle.

Splain that to me. I understand the two section load and unload. The tail end for boarding and disembarking passengers that might need help, but, the closest to the water is on the solid cable. All of that cable will have to go the same speed. There cannot be an acceleration like with the People Mover that is in dependent of the following train and therefore can speed up. If the cable goes faster just outside the station doesn't the entire singular directly looped cable have to be going the same speed?
OK, I had forgotten about the tire part, so every single Gondola, one way or the other, disconnects from the main cable and reconnects again a little further out! Gotcha!
Those could present more of a challenge. Do they just drive the supports into the lake bed underwater or will they block off and drain a section of the lake? I assume option 1.
And that doesn't seem like it is the easiest to accomplish. I'd think that would take a while working on the water. Pouring concrete letting it cure, etc. Pulling the cable is probably not all that complicated. I'm sure they have equipment to do that with. Rigging it might take a while but then there is the matter of hundreds of Gondolas to actually hook up and space, tune speeds, etc. I stick with the original completion date as I see it now.
