I love this!
I wish I knew how to make diagrams like this online.

A 4-step look at how Disney Skyliner worked for the ADA spurs in most stations. Lines would slow or stop when a step in the process needed more time. Example: an ADA cabin arriving has to have space in unload to transfer. The line would stop until ADA unload available.
Diagram One:
The
Blue Gondolas continue around the station continuous loop that uses rubber wheels to move them after they come off the main cable. It took me a while to realize that the gondolas moved inside the stations on small rubber wills instead of a cable.
The
Yellow handicap gondola unloads in the handicap loading zone and not the regular
Blue Gondola continuous loop area as with walkers. In videos from the Disney EPCOT Skyliner Station, I couldn't really tell if the yellow gondola was in the handicap zone. I could only see that handicap doors didn't open until almost the end of the row where the blue gondola guests exited after the yellow gondola stopped. This diagram actually shows how it is located in the handicap zone after transferring from the blue gondola unloading zone.
The
Green handicap gondola loads in the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue around the station continuous loop. There are only two gondolas in the handicap zone at this particular time. The yellow gondola empties and the green gondola loads.
The
Orange handicap gondola in the continuous station loop approaching the handicap loading zone. My understanding from reading posters is that the handicap orange gondolas are interspersed along the main cable and they have two chocks under the benches in each one.
Diagram Two:
The
Blue Gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
The
Orange handicap gondola in the regular
Blue Gondola continuous loop approaching the handicap unloading zone.
The recently unloaded
Yellow handicap gondola approaches the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue to move along the continuous loop.
The recently loaded
Green handicap gondola
waits in the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue to move along the continuous loop.
Diagram Three:
The
Blue Gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
The
Orange handicap gondola transfer from the
Blue gondolas continue loop and
transfers to the handicap unloading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue to move along the continuous loop.
The
Yellow handicap gondola loads in the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
The
Green handicap gondola
waits until released in the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue to move along the continuous loop.
The
Blue Gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
Diagram Four:
The
Blue Gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
The
Orange handicap gondola unloads in the handicap loading zone and not the regular
Blue Gondola continuous loop.
The
Yellow handicap gondola loads in the handicap loading zone while the regular
Blue gondolas continue around the station continuous loop.
The
Green handicap gondola
transfers from the handicap loading zone to the regular
Blue gondolas continue on the station continuous loop with the other
Blue gondolas to the next Disney Skyliner Station.
