Broke? They are all up and fine as far as I know.Someone told me one of the lines broke. Is this true??
Ok, thanks.Broke? They are all up and fine as far as I know.
Thanks, but not mine. Follow the link to the DIS thread where it was posted by BecBennett. Other great Disneyland photos there.Awesome picture!
And in just 7 short months, actual guests could be on one of those gondolas.

Seems crazy that those will be running back and forth, but essentially useless, for 7 more months.
All part of the testing.Certainly not going that fast in the video, but they are moving.
Eeek!!! SO excited!!
Any gondola system I've ever seen is extremely smooth when going over the sheaves when they are unloaded which I'm assuming these are. They are actually quite smooth when fully loaded but I do have a slight jumping action at the crossover them. I wouldn't expect any rumblings generated by the sheaves to be very noticeable when the system is fully operational.It did seem to move over the sheaves quite smoothly and quietly compared to some YouTubes I've seen of other systems.
I was thinking of something like this. But honestly I don't know whether all that clatter would be audible at the tower base. There seems to be noticeable shaking, too.Any gondola system I've ever seen is extremely smooth when going over the sheaves when they are unloaded which I'm assuming these are.

I'm terrified of heights, it's the #1phobia in the country. I won't be going near those things.Curious if this has been discussed earlier in the thread: I love the gondola idea and cannot wait for it to open but I am alone in my Disney circle. Everyone in both my immediate and extended family (that goes to Disney) is already refusing to use the gondolas because of fear - especially fear of heights. "No way I am getting on one of those." Are they the statistical outlier or is this a common concern?
