Yes, the cabins will be tested with weight in them.
I'm confident Doppelmayr engineers know exactly the operating parameters of this system. It is a tested design not the first of it's kind so once the installation is tested for manufacturing and assembly defects it will perform to their calculations.That’s what I thought so thank you for the confirmation, would make sense to eliminate any and all potential issues before GP Would be allowed on. Would it also be used to “test the limit” so to speak so they know what range they could operate in before the system bogs down?
Oh I’m confident in them as well it was more of just thinking out loud and wondering how they do it kind of thing. Thanks for the info nonetheless :toast:I'm confident Doppelmayr engineers know exactly the operating parameters of this system.

They have more than 14600 installations worldwide.
This is actually a new Doppelmayr gondola and it is going to be the first iteration of it to open anywhere I believe (or if not the world, the US).I'm confident Doppelmayr engineers know exactly the operating parameters of this system.

New to the US but not the first of it's kind. The 10 passenger cabins are new but the ropeway and controls are a tested design that was used with the 8 passenger before. Liftblog went over the differences and it is pretty much an off the shelf design modified for this installation.This is actually a new Doppelmayr gondola and it is going to be the first iteration of it to open anywhere I believe (or if not the world, the US).
I want to see the recording of that test, would be way cool. eace:Supposedly Disney took one of the gondolas and tested it in some Nasa test chamber to test the air flow and whether they will be cool enough without AC in the summer, and supposedly it passed.
I have heard a few numbers. 310, 322 and 324 between all three lines.Does anybody know how many cabins there are?

They'll put Disney bloggers & Disney Moms on them, and they'll be a sacrificial offer to the Storm Gods. Win Win situation.Damn, that’s a lot. I wonder what the storage situation is for a hurricane. I don’t imagine they’ll leave them to dangle out on the cables.
Nah, at the central station they have a storage area where they can be taken offline. Many pics WESH news did a flyby last week and one of the areas was full with the other coming online soon.Damn, that’s a lot. I wonder what the storage situation is for a hurricane.

Disney testing its new Skyliner Gondolas for the first time
Seems like they’re testing at full speed. A lot faster than I was expecting.
