That is one insignificant looking cable.

Those are the guide wires for pulling the cable. The cable itself is substantial.
From Bio,
OK, they have them lower on the water so in case of evacuation they can reach them with a boat and some kind of ladder. Sounds like a nightmare, but at least they're thinking ahead.
Here is Bobby's take on the proposal to build one in Clearwater to go to the beach. Seems to be not much of a concern. Like the outdoor rides it will stop if lightning is in the area and it can run in very high winds of the type you will find in the mountains so not much concern there. It is the fall into the alligator infested swamp that is going to get you not getting fried by a bolt from the blue.im sure these will be safe, but given the wind gusts Florida can get, makes me super nervous about being in one of these during a thunder storm.
Make a Peter Pan, Capt. Hook and the Alligator scene over the swamp/water area. .Here is Bobby's take on the proposal to build one in Clearwater to go to the beach. Seems to be not much of a concern.

How in the world are they a year away from launching this? Hope it's there for my honeymoon. It would be cool to ride once.From the keynote going on at IAAPA with Bob Chapek, the Disney Skyliner is expected to launch now in Fall 2019.
This. I don’t expect the entire system to open together at once. I think the Pop/AoA line will open last, which will likely be late summer/fallI think the "grand opening" will be in the fall. I expect guests to be riding in late spring early summer.
Its been confirmed all will open at once (Especially since PoP/AoA would only go to the Caribbean Beach and back, which would make no sense). All 3 lines term at CBR and connect there.This.

I KNOW they could open this much sooner if they wanted, but they probably want to wait until it’s NEEDED. Also, I bet they want Riviera open for when this debuts, too.Its been confirmed all will open at once (Especially since PoP/AoA would only go to the Caribbean Beach and back, which would make no sense).

Its amusing reading this set of posts since it echoes what's already been discussed over in that other place. According to some people, those on board will ... melt, die by electuction, fall to their deaths and be eaten by alligators. etc etc.
