Yay! Those appear to be moving at a speed closer to what I was anticipating they would eventually run as opposed to the slower movement we've seen to this point.
WDWNT, video and saying “full speed” (though my guess is they don’t know that for sure, but likely closer to full speed than previous test)

Okay, I feel like an idiot but it was absolutely thrilling to watch those fly away from the station like that!
Thoroughly enjoy how quickly they whisk away up and out of the station. That’s going to be amazing leaving the Generation Gap Bridge station.
See the doors open!
Can you imagine how it will look at night when you arrive back at the resort???!!!! With the station lit up and the water beneath as you glide down to the landing to return home for the evening. Ahhh... I can't wait!!
So seeing the videos from higher speeds and from the station made me wonder--there appears to be a slight swinging motion when it takes off and then when it comes back into another station is that what would happen with people inside too?
Thanks that's good information to know. I hadn't really thought about the motion of going out of the station and coming back in yet. I'm sure it will probably be similar to the monorail in terms of that butterfly feel in your stomach (if you know what I mean) I just could see some people feeling different because the gondola's structure. Either way sounds like it could a fun ride so long as the swing motion is pretty mildI would expect a bit of swing but at least the ones I have been on it doesn’t feel like a wild, crazy swing ... also in that Blogmickey video it looks like they dampen the swing a bit when it came in
