Have we seen any interior shots of the Gondolas? The interiors of the Whistler Gondolas (only reference I have) definitely were not at a Disney standard.

What does a Disney Standard gondola look like? I imagine a regular looking, plastic/metal seat interior.

If it's anything like the Doppelmayr detachable gondola, then we should expect the interiors like this

There's nothing in there besides two benches. I'm glad Disney's won't be all glass, don't want to be in a greenhouse.

The only other guess, is that it'll act more like the D Line.

Isn’t that glass reflective. Perhaps it will help to keep it cooler inside.

Doesn't it seem a bit early for the cable cars to be arriving?

Could be a photo opportunity for outside a station. Maybe they'll make something like that permanent to stop morons talking photos just as they board to help up speed up the process.

Could be headed for a mock-up somewhere for graphics, potential audio, etc

To be fair, we did have slide parts of Volcano Bay on-site well before they started to get them into the construction area.

Not surprised they are starting to arrive, there's a lot of them to transport.

These are expected to be open to guests by next spring/Summer so idk if it’s too early, but they need to be here soon-ish anyway. Once the system is operational, they will want to start testing immediately.

That would be my bet. Unless they're being manufactured locally, this is also an odd way to transport them.

That one on the truck was probably going away to be used as a test or to be repaired as other pictures show it in a very banged up state.

I wouldn't even want to guess how many there will be on the whole route, but manufactures don't want to store them and they have to go somewhere. We should come up for a term for a pack of cable car's

That's a good theory. I wonder if the decals they're going to wrap them with will reduce that, though.
