How about a constantly moving continuous loop that runs on a roadway in the sky, something that moves a lot of people at slower speed? It would eat the people and have constantly moving lines if it had lines. Could even give it a snappy name......
Continue loaders are not efficient with so many ADA passengers.
They get special transport, space bus is free....
Have you seen the Skyliner and how they handle these?
I did today, and they weren’t manning the handicap spots. Thanks to constant stops for scooters the friendship boat beat me to DHS.
FDOT has control of the monorails not RC
There you go, nothing will change then. The monorails are safe.
They won't be very happy if the "district" shuts it down just for kicks either. I don't doubt that they liked the idea of having the Monorail handy, but they didn't spend that much money just because of it. They manage when there is a breakdown, they can still get where they want to go and have to stay within the confines of the Monorail schedule the other times. Besides, let's get realistic, it doesn't take that many rides before the charm starts to wear thin.
I don't disagree, but the extent is limited. People that go to those resorts don't just go to MK. There are three other parks and the entire property is an experience in itself. I know that there would be some pushback, but I don't really think that the Monorail is the only reason they are staying in those three resorts.
They also have relatively easy access to EPCOT via the monorail, especially the Polynesian, which in turn grants "continuing service" to Hollywood Studios for afternoon parkhoppers, all without the terribleness that is a bus. It's definitely the core reason I stay there. If the monorail were gone, I'd instantly switch my habits to favor the Crescent Lake resorts.
Yes, I know and I do agree that their would be some degree of uproar about it. I don't think, however, that people would stop going to WDW just because there no longer was a Monorail. That is a pretty specific item and it is really not much more than a weird designed bus. Besides now that Disney knows they can build a Gondola system to take people to the same place and perhaps even add a route to Animal Kingdom.
Some chose the resorts for the monorail but most choose for MK proximity, and the monorail is only a part of that. At Grand Floridian and Contemporary using the monorail to get to/from EPCOT feels, imo, burdensome with need to change lines.
Why not? They can follow the same path as the Monorail.
Me too.
I thought, based on the last reports we had seen in media, that they were still reviewing / understanding Disney procedures and had yet to generate their minimum safety standard. Have to have a standard before they can inspect for compliance to it.
I just think the distance with the constant slowdowns to let those who need extra time would make it less likely to actually happen. I love the skyline btw, and would love to see it expanded on property.
It would still work because the slow downs happen in a different lane, they'd just have to make the lane a little longer. It was just a thought anyway, it is possible, but not very likely. As far as delays though, the buses do it all the time.
Speed isn't anywhere near as slow as the bus and it isn't influenced by traffic, etc. I think as a constant moving entity it is probably fast. Just think about the time used just loading the buses before it moves an inch. The monorail is faster, but we were just talking about, what if it isn't there anymore.
