Those images of Mickey & Minnie on the gondola are the worst, most amateurish I've seen.

You do realize that this is what the new Mickey looks like in the latest cartoons. It is what Mickey's Runaway Railroad will look like.
Travesty. A slap in the face to Walt and all the great Disney animators of the past. That's all I'm going to say, so as not to derail the thread.

Join the rest of the complainers in the M&M RR thread.
As far as gondola capacity, these things are really deep. Seeing it from front-on really gives the impression that 8 or so people could easily fit, 4 on each side. 10 could fit if need be. And that's without any standing.

I took this photo on Wednesday. The conversation centered around how many accidental deaths they’re projecting for the Disney Skyliner.

I personally don’t care for the new design either. While being true to an earlier version, I personally prefer the design queues of the Mickey from Fantasia thru the 1990s.
Round pupils, clothing that fit properly. Proportions which did not make him appear odd.
I get what they are doing, trying to pay tribute to the past while applying stylization, specifically surrounding modern techniques, particularly involving the eyes.
But it comes across as cheesy and poorly executed.
I think you are just seeing the tinting on the non-wrapped windows.

The announcement spoke of views and unique photography ability, but if all the windows are wrapped, won’t it be like trying to look out a window of the monorail or bus that has been wrapped? Wrap obscures view. Are you supposed to put you camera in between the open louvres?

Is that the right model? I knew they had several on the show floor at IAAPA.View attachment 326691

Seems like very dark tinting. It would have been nice for the doors to be shown open to get a look inside.
It could have been this was just a lightweight unit for display purposes that has no seats or moving doors.
No. From the pictures we've seen, the 10-seater isn't at the show.
I don't want to die alone.

I've got to be honest... just looking at the pics they still seem small to me to imagine 8-10 WDW tourists stuffed in there...
I'll be interested to see in practice how many people are "forced" into one... will it be like an attraction where they sit singles with a stranger when busy, but let them ride alone when not busy? I'd just hate to be stuffed into that thing with too many people to really be comfortable.

The CM will be shouting “Fill in all available space!” as they load the gondola.

Both IAAPA cabins look like Omega IV 8s while the Skyliner cabin is an Omega IV 10 D.

In all fairness your spontaneous combustion will be painless and swift. Plus, with the grates on the bottom, cleanup will be a breeze.

Doesn't matter, if you ignore them long enough it will be to late and they are not going to stop the gondola to enforce a point. So generally, the guests will determine how many can get on. Even moving slowly, there is a limited time to load them before the door closes. Pretty much the same way that when a CM is yelling for everyone to scrunch into the center of the expanding room in Haunted Mansion, they get ignored because now one wants to be that close to people they don't know.
