Right, and how long would you wait outside in the sun or the shade for a bus to arrive…

Don't know if that is sarcasm as this topic has been beat to death on magic but on the off chance it isn't I have a couple of questions for you. Can you walk around a theme park in the summer, wait in line in the sun? Walk from your vehicle into a store? If so you have no worries, the cabins are ventilated, you are only in one for 5 minutes max on the longest run and there is no practical way to put enough power to the cabin AC that would cool it from wide open doors in the load/unload stations to a comfortable temp in the short time you have the doors closed. These are used in much hotter climates with just as much humidity for longer trips and found to not kill people.
As @JoeCamel said, this works in hotter and just as humid climates such as Brazil, Hong Kong, etc.Obviously they are ventilated and are designed to handle this, but there is a monumental difference between sitting in the sun and sitting in the sun in a glass enclosure that acts like a magnifying glass. It's a fair question because ventilated or not, if it got stuck like his post says, it's going to be a nightmare in there.

The one in Hong Kong is far higher and far longer than Disney's will be too.
Well keep this in mind for anyone wishing Universal to get a Gondola: IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING. Why? Because it works.He also compared it to walking from your vehicle to the store. This would be like sitting in your vehicle with the AC off for hours or however long it took them to rescue you or fix the problem. We're not talking normal operations where it's moving and you get a breeze.

And the trip is 5 minutes, please spare me with the whole "waiting in your vehicle for hours" bit.
Maybe try actually reading what I said before getting condescending.
If the motor that runs this thing breaks or has a fault of any kind it will stop it immediately. Then you will be sitting in a glass box until they fix the problem or get you out. It would almost be like, I don't know, waiting in your vehicle for hours....
And what does Universal have to do with this?
I'm just gonna let this be since you obviously aren't changing you're opinion. These don't stop in storms, btw, just like the monorails. They only shut down for strong winds. If there's a prolonged breakdown, then it isn't high off the ground so it shouldn't be an issue.Maybe try actually reading what I said before getting condescending.

Luckily with this system, it's not really that high off the ground and I think 90%+ of the route is easily accessible with a cherry picker. The colourful cute characters on the windows are there to block out the sun so it won't entirely be like a greenhouse.
If we really go into the dangers of transport and theme parks, we could be here all day.

Once these debut, you'll see that this is no problem. Look at how efficient they are in a over-crowded city in Bolivia. The city had no more room to expand the roads or places to add more cars, so they built a gondola system, which has worked out very well for them. The average temperature in Bolivia is 86 Degrees Fahrenheit.
I'm sure this will happen every now and again and it probably won't be the best experience in the world. As mentioned above though, the cable can be pulled and you're not going to be any higher than a monorail off of the ground. If a system failure happens (which is really the only case that you're sitting there for such an extended period of time), getting people in should actually be a lot easier than it seems.We are talking about completely different subjects. I know these systems work. I know they work in hot temps. Cold temps. Wind, and rain. If you look back through my post history, I've actually been for them and show ways they work. At no point was I arguing against them. By all means, build hundreds of them.
I was talking entirely about what it would be like to be in one in the case of a breakdown on a 100 degree day like another poster mentioned.
It should be a consistently moving line and at 4-5k per hour, that tops peoplemover numbers in terms of capacity. So honestly I think it will be a very short wait. Longest thing will probably be going through security before getting on the gondola.I wonder what the wait times will be for these?

My point was if the mode of transport works in busy cities, it should be no different in WDW.Also, you are comparing mass transportation in busy cities with booming populations, with few options to being at a resort you are paying top $$$ to stay at.
