News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

Well that settles it then.

And Rob talked to management about him. If this guy was fake security, then a Disney cast member did something wrong in not identifying someone pretending to be security. Either way. It was a Disney fail. Disney failed you!!

I have just seen many times where people authoritatively explain the rules without standing or knowledge. They don't claim to be employees but try to create that impression.

When he started talking "private property" it made me suspicious. Every guest there has a camera. They are permitted.

So has the Skyliner toys and shirts started arriving yet?. Wonder if the toy will actually be a working gondola system like the monorail

And then Disney invites bloggers and vloggers to their own events as a way of advertising! But according to that cm in the video, they would be violating Disney's own policy if they take video of those events. Geez.

An invitation to come film and photograph would be the required granting of prior permission.

I think he's talked to security before, but it seems like this was probably the first time he had been told he had to stop what he was doing.

Yes, frequently at CBR, Security hosts have stopped and asked him, "Are you vlogging?", and then wished him well. He says some of them recognize him now, and just wave from their cars.

Is a monetized YouTube or Instagram account commercial purposes?

Asking for a few thousand friends.

Tim and Jen Tracker come to mind. They quit their jobs to spend full time in the parks filming every mundane thing you can think of. Random nuts send them anywhere from $5 to $50 whenever they do a live video chat. This allows them to spend even more time in the parks filming even more mundane things. And now Disney is inviting them to events and paying their way... so there can't be too much of a problem here. LOL!

Has there been any rumors when the skyliner will open?

I could be wrong but I believe late summer to September. Wish it was sooner.

On Rob's live feed today from Pop, he was able to see and call out a whole bunch of cabins with character wraps through the white covering. So, it seems they're only uncovering cabins with no wraps at this time.

You can be darned sure that they'll be open before SWL, which is Aug 28 (29?). Likely sooner.

I'm surprised that many of the gondolas are plain. I can just see people at the front of the lines refusing to get on a plain one and waiting for a "cool one".

It's been said that they can still put character wraps on locally, just like they do for the buses and monorail. So, I'd expect they'd all be character-wrapped eventually.

Lots of rumors, but none on which I would hinge any personal vacation decisions.

Seems to me the lifts themselves will be ready in a matter of weeks but there is still a lot of work to do in and around the stations. Particularly at Trinidad and Riviera.

Thanks for the info @Driver!

The 1 foot p/minute sounds slow for the station. Can you check again and report back?

I'd expect something more like 1 foot per second on the main turnaround loops since the 13 foot long cabins have to go by a given spot on the loading platform once every 10-11 seconds in order to maintain 10-11 second cabin spacing on the line.

Checked, it's clearly in the OG. I would expect it's necessary so scooters, wheelchairs, and elderly can board with out issues. 1' p/second would be about walking speed more or less, kind of a quick pace to load a scooter!

But I thought the scooters would be loading in the secondary loop where the cabins would be completely still?

 

[skyphotographer]

Glad to see we're back to talking about Gondolas.

Part of the problem is there are some things I can't post yet

Does the OG say 1' p/minute or 1' p/second? Seconds sounds reasonable. If it say minute, then that has to have been a typo.
