Monorails existed for almost 60 years before Walt...they weren't an original concept. The initial DL monorail wasn't designed as a mass transit system, either. It was little more than an attraction in the park that played at being a transport option...Im not really sure what your point is here, as it just supports utilizing many different transport options.

Doppelmayr's other projects might back that up. The new Blackcomb Gondola is delayed 3 weeks. Bretton Woods in New Hampshire just posted the following: "While construction continues on the Gondola, supply chain delays coupled with the 5 feet of snow Bretton Woods received this November have delayed the delivery date for the Gondola. We are working closely with the Doppelmayr Gondola Construction Team to determine when the Gondola will be operational. "
I wonder if Disney paid a little extra for manufacturing priority...

Was in Gatlinburg over Thanksgiving week and got a chance to ride the Ober Gatlinburg sky tram. Man, that thing is ancient, but it is quite a fun/terrifying ride. I think Disney missed an opportunity to put in a swinging tram in WDW, lol.
Since they have said Fall 2019 opening, no need to pay for priority.

Extra? They got taken to the cleaners on whats been reported as the cost.

You mean a FastPass?
I can see someone making an argument against total elimination of buses, but when you look at the capacity of this system, it's hard to logically believe they would run buses with the same frequency. Of course I realize logic rare comes up in these type of arguments.

Disney’s inflated cost for the project is not because of the system itself.

I have mentioned it over there, and the same thing happened. They tried to dismiss the information. There is one poster in particular who shows up in every thread. Her name is Angie and she will defend Disney to the death. She is an expert in her own mind. I personally think that she is one of those people that a company pays to clean up their image on the internet. If she isn't being paid by Disney, she should be. However, I will keep posting the information over there in hopes that it helps people trying to make informed decisions.
Doppelmayr offers Disney an upsell client status to get their order priortized first at 33% off the wait time for other clients. Doppelmayr will charge WDW $50,000 for the privilege and call it their Club 33.

Did you get the free FastPass for anything except 7DMT?
Got the Free Pass to anything in MK until the end of the month!

you get +10 if staying on site?

Sort of. At 180 days out from your first day onsite, you get to make reservations for your entire length of stay up to 10 days. If you were staying offsite, on day 180 you could make reservations for your first day. Then the next day you could make reservations for your second day, and so on.

I think that design is called "ribbed", not "corrugated", but I could be wrong. Apologies for being overly precise. Like the scorpion said, it's in my nature.
Did anyone hear or find out why they had to remove, then replace/reposition the last tower?
I really don't understand why people choose to attack the messenger. Again, I guess it's just in people's nature.
To the underlying information about bus service, I guess there's no convincing people of something they don't want to believe. You've done your good work in putting the information out there. What people choose to do with that information is up to them.
Have you informed them about the AC? Lol

Correct, and it comes in standard sheet sizes, cutting it to fit is standard practice. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't ever seen any custom sized ribbed metal siding before. Far easier to just cut it in the field.
