Sky liner, great idea but ...

["El Gran Magnifico"]

In before the merge...
Does anyone know if the Skyliner's towers will be painted and if so, what color?
(I'll admit I haven't been following that thread)

I'd wager to say it will be the Disney staple: "Go Away Green"

unfortunately it looks like they won't be painting them... another member here pointed out they are galvanized steel which makes it very difficult for paint to stick...

You really wanna talk about on eyesore? Drive down I-4.

As in?

And moves 10x as many people.

I’m all for anything that lessens automobile traffic, buses in general, and I mean, I’ve said before I’d rather ride a tricycle in pouring rain than take a bus back to Saratoga ever again

It won’t reduce the buses by that much, but hopefully eliminates all the cars coming from those hotels. There are about 7000 rooms being serviced. Say 1000 each to studios and Epcot. Say half of those people drive. That’s 500 cars off the roads, not in the park parking lot. That’s 4 of the longest rows in the parking lot of DHS.

People will choose the gondolas because they are right there all the time. People don’t like waiting for buses. Reducing bus wait times significantly is difficult and expensive.

Sight Lines!!!

Since they are not actively being used for transportation, their utility has yet to be determined so you can't objectively ascertain if they serve a beneficial purpose that exceeds or falls short of your esthetic judgement.

Exactly.

In my opinion, cars driving around road whizzing by really fast, putting exhaust in the air, and splashing you on rainy days is the ugliest thing imaginable. But Disney allows them into their parking lot, as it usually beats walking for miles. So we'll see how the gondolas do, as they may cut down on vehicular congestion.

This is the gigantic lipstick/lighter looking building that never was finished on I-4.

I only find them to be an eyesore along that stretch of beach in Caribbean Beach, and even in that case - only if you are on that side.
I think they look great at Hollywood Studios, and quite nice coming into World Showcase.

There are ones near International Gateway that were painted green before installation which leads us to believe that they will not paint any of the other ones.

2019 IS THE YEAR IT'LL BE DONE. WE PROMISE. SWEAR ON IT.

Just like how 2018 was the year.
And 2017.
Etc...

What is this supposed to be?
I mean, its a building, who's building, what was the plan around it, etc..?

Exactly.

I'm not joking. Just google "I4 eyesore" and start reading all of the articles about it. The project has been a mess for a long time and only last year did it finally seem like it's going to actually be finished.

Some self funded church project... going on since 2001. The parishioners might need to come up with more than tithing to get that monstrosity built.

OK! I pass that thing driving in and out twice a year. Always thought it looked funny all there by itself.....
Now I know. (and GI JOE used to say knowing is half the battle..)

 

[Paper straw fan]

Ok.. I wondered what that was. I keep calling it the “I-4 overlook resort”. I’ve had no idea what it was

 

[BoarderPhreak]

The towers are galvanized and won't be painted. For one, you can't paint galvanized metal until it's nice and oxidized or the paint won't stick.
