Skyliner Possible Expansion Routes

[TrainsOfDisney]

When did the park hopper go away?

The 4 and 5 day park hoppers of yesteryear lol.

I wonder what they were thinking with skyliner? I think it was an experiment about room prices and dvc…plain and simple. Not a great move

I think the original idea was related to DCV and then it was easily expanded to include other stops and resorts. I’m not sure why it wasn’t a great move - guests seem to really like it except when it gets stuck haha.

Perhaps we can combine the decades old "monorail expansion" threads with the new and improved gondola expansion thread.

I don't think Disney regrets building it, but there have been suggestions from insiders that they're not happy with the ROI (presumably due to the mostly weather related operational problems).

I have no idea if that's actually true, though.

Yeah those were great…everyone was happy and they made a ton of money. Cost like $200

They don’t go away…they were murdered in their sleep

It shuts down constantly in the weather

Ifs redundant…as in Both had boats and bus options

And as previously asserted…they really haven’t raised the prices much due to it.

And that dvc isn’t exactly a smash…but they built an ugly concrete block ontop of Barbados…so what did they expect?

Drew up a few Blue Sky Skyliner routes... let me know if you have a better route.

I would go with Option A for the BB hub, with additional elements from this as having that Turn Station as a hub cuts down on time and interchanges:

They aren’t expanding that…so get on the bus, kids

The expansion to Disney Springs, the purple line, would require a stop at Wyndham's Bonnet Creek resort since it can't be built over their property without their permission. However, I would love this and they would probably kick into the costs.

Never stayed at the Wyndham property but have stayed a couple times for work at the JW Marriot at Bonnet Creek. A great location, and some type of non-driving access to the parks would be interesting. Thought to be fair the drive from there to the TTC is really not bad.

The boardwalk turn station would basically have to be torn to the ground and rebuilt to allow people to get off there.
