News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[peter11435]

Not trying to re-ignite an argument, but found someone on Twitter tweeting that they have an interview for the Skyliner this week; wonder if she's an opening cast member, and if so, how long does the turnaround from initial hiring to training to out on the job take?

The interview is for opening team. Most likely she is already a Disney cast member so this would be a transfer not a hiring.

You're not. I doubled down on the wrong side of an argument so now I have to double down on, being wrong. I was wrong there was no more argument here. Nothing to ignite.

Let’s cross our fingers for an earlier soft opening!

He doesn't have insider information. And before anyone mentions the guy Rob whatshisname who's connected to the gondola biz, Rob was feeding him incorrect info (namely, the gondolas were going to be going at factory speed and not the Disney speed of 11 mph), so, he's not a trusty source on what Disney intends.

If he's saying Aug 28, it's because he's parroting from That Unscrupulous Source.

This is absolutely the definitive authoritative reliable and accurate projection for when the Gondolas will start ferrying guests....This amazing insight has been hermetically sealed in a mason jar and only a true descendant of Carnac the Magnificent knows the answer....


"when guest actually start riding the skyliner on that date it will have opened in some capacity" Side prognostication for free "it will rain in Florida this week"

Rob may get some things wrong, but I can't see him out right lying. He clearly says in the video that he got his information from a source at Doppelmayr and not from what other sites have said.

His Doppelmayr source also had the speed of the gondolas wrong. And his Doppelmayr source may have gotten their info from That Other Site.

Not saying it won't be the 28th. But that this source isn't airtight.

So, my guess is that what we have seen was "train the trainers" and we'll be seeing "trainers training the opening/operating crew" shortly.

What we have seen was test and adjust. The trainers will be selected as part of the opening team.

Ah, so they haven't yet started training the trainers?

That should push things back a bit. two to six days.

Training is generally not a particularly long process. Most attractions (which this would be similar to) only require 2-6 days of training.

Since this is part of transportation does that affect the training process at all? I'm asking, because I don't know how things work on the transportation side versus the park ops side. I did meet someone a few days ago who is part of the test and adjust team, and he hates it. I don't know him other than that brief interaction, so I have no idea if it's truly miserable or not. Strangely I have talked to several people who are excited about possibly getting hired on skyliner. Me, I'm just hopeful we can get this tread to 20,000 before it opens.

@Lift Blog has said that the training process for similar system at ski resorts takes about 4 days,

Any ideas as to why this might be? If I'm not mistaken BlogMickey and PttP's pics from earlier in the week showed the same thing happening at Pop

edit: I see that some of the fencing is grayish-black like the rest of the station and some is light gray; probably some painting taking place

If you look at the first pic you can see that they're (spray?) painting the fences. Based on the BlogMickey pics compared to Rob's last video from Pop/Art I think they painted the smaller fences there, as well.
