Yeah when they first showed the ones at CBR I thought the same thing. I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted to deal with the continual upkeep but I think a paint job of some sort would have been nice something that either makes it blend more in with the surroundings or even just something maybe Disney related. Wishful thinking I'm sure or maybe unrealistic thinking.
They would need to load test them. As someone else noted, water barrels will be a good option for that.Random question for you. Do they typically load test these systems with all the chairs/gondolas loaded? Seems like it would be a huge PIA.
I like the new signature too.
Woohoo!!
Good point! A loaded cabin will sway less while underway due to wind forces than an empty one.
Basically, if you can ride ANY attraction in the parks you should be fine riding the Skyliner.
The gap on the line would be irrelevant if they created one. They happen frequently. Slowing the line down is the normal reaction, not stopping it.
It depends. You can eStop the line, like if somebody stumbles or something. If you know someone coming into the station might need extra time you can slow it down even more. This system with the double bull wheel setup should segregate slower cars to the back, but we don't know for certain how that'll work.
There's only one bull wheel at each end of a line. The bull wheel is for the cable to turn around.
Yeah, you are right, used the wrong terminology. My point being there are 2 routes for the cabins to go in station, and it isn't fully defined how they will work just yet.
I think the video in your post and the one in the post below are both from the DHS station. Unless I'm dreaming, the two different videos show the gondolas travelling in different directions - which surprises me. I didn't expect these to be bi-directional.
