News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

[MisterPenguin]

Turns out, the safest and most hygienic transportation on Disney property is the old horse drawn, open-air tram! Great grandma really did know best.

People get on and off them without touching anything?

Horse exhaust probably kills viruses.

And patrons.

You don't think they could do all three at once? I would guess with the separate staff, separate lines and storage rails that they could all be cleared simultaneously.

(Just amazed that this is what we have been reduced to discussing...Life is really boring right now, isn't it?)

Well, I haven't been down to see the rails inside the station... I'm guessing they can only pull one, maybe two lines at once without crossing the streams.

Each line is independent with its own storage area.

Noooo!! Now we'll never be able to re-sort them all properly by color, number, and IP genre!!!

Anyone remember how long it takes to get all those gondolas off of the lines... and how long it takes to get all those gondolas back on the lines?

The Doppelmayr gondola where I work is longer than the Hollywood Studios line but shorter than Epcot. We start parking cabins at 5:00 pm sharp. If all goes smoothly, I can usually finish that, go back to my office, change clothes and catch a 5:35 bus home.

I finally got the chanceto take a ride on this new system after fighting down my fear of heights. They're smoother a ride than I thought they would be, and very breezey. Large cabins too.

All in all I think Disney has a winner here

And just when they got the damn things working properly. Hope they don't forget how they did that.

And patrons.

And contributes to global warming. Oh wait, that was for cows.

That is incredibly creepy, but not as creepy as the parking lot full of Disney Transport Buses over by Contempoary

This still on the table?

After using for a week last fall, I'm all on board for the gondolas. It was by far the best transportation on site.

Where did this come from? There are a number of problems with this. The pink line from CBR to Typhoon Lagoon goes over non-Disney property. The line from CBR to Blizzard goes over DHS which I doubt they would do. I think they would also favor going along roads like they did with the Epcot leg.

Can you imagine how crowded the CBR station would get too? Virtually everyone traveling along the main East/West route would be getting off there to transfer to DHS or Epcot.

It’s crap I made based off what I saw. It wasn’t meant to be perfect.

You don't even have the red part right and that exists in the real world.

Those aren’t my pictures, those are what I saw online.
