What's this cable between Cindarella Castle and Tomorrowland building

[baharini]

At WDW today I saw a cable running between the top of Cindarella Castle and a building in/near Tomorrowland.

It's rather strange, I contemplated for a second that it could be a zip line, but doubt it. Perhaps it's to do with fireworks. Any ideas?
Images attached.

That's Tinkerbell's flight path.

Yep that's for Tinker Bell when she comes out at the beginning of Wishes.

And Tink's A Dude....Flying down said Zipline....

 

[Clamman73]

So it's not pixie dust and it's a dude...

WT- this is TRAGIC! First Peter Pan is a girl and now tinkerbelle is a man. What is this world coming to?

 

[DHoy]

I saw think in person dozens of times and never once was it a dude.

Three things:
1. The hips look wide leading me to believe it's a girl
2. The legs have undefined calves. Given this position is reserved for entertainment cast. It's naturally assumed the CM is in Wdw entertainment and is either a dancer or actor. Either way their day job requires leg work and male dancers have rock hard calves and thighs, that pic does not.
3. Upper body. I'll just say the shoulders and arms are not that of a males.

And from my previous statement. I saw tink many many times and it was never a male.

Diverse and inclusive.

Here's another shot of another Tinkermale...Looks pretty Butch to me...

I'll contest that there may be a time when that was the norm. But in my two years in Tomorrowland (2012-2014), everytime I say Tinkerbell she was female.

Are you referring to the fireworks version or the meet and greet version?

I am quite confident that every time I've met Tink, she's been a she (else, there would have been NO other reason to meet with a bunch of pixies)

I am sorry this ruined my love for tinkerbelle flying over the castle. This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen

I did say Tomorrowland so yea fireworks. Never met the meet n greet tink.

On the behind the scenes tour (if I remember correctly) Tink has to weigh in before she can fly in Wishes. She must be between 88 and 105 pounds (too light and she flies too fast and too heavy and runs the risk of getting stuck on the line). If I remember correctly, and nothing has changed since then, I would tend to lean towards the theory that these photos are faked.....

 

[marni1971]

I'll say it again. Every Tink has been female bar one NYE when it was Kevin McGowan.

 

[POLY LOVER]

FEMALE, STOP THE GOOF

 

[friendofafriend]

I'll say it again. Every Tink has been female bar one test flight.

Thank you!!! Maybe people will actually believe you and this ridiculous rumor can end. I've seen the roster many many many times over the course of my employment spanning a 10 year period and I have never once seen a male name on it. Though, I was told in a previous thread on this very topic that my first had knowledge of the situation proved nothing. Hahaha gotta love the Internet!
