it's also funny to think Disney won't ever be crowded again... In my wildest dreams maybe.
What were the wait times like?Got to ride the Skyliner today, I went on all 3 tracks (routes ?) and I really enjoyed it. It was a very nice, quiet, peaceful trip between the parks and it honestly made me miss the old Skyway in MK.
Unfortunately, when stopped it got a little too stuffy in there for my liking so I probably won’t be revisiting it until the cooler months but that was really the only negative for me. Also, I don’t remember where I heard it/read it but I will say I’ll be shocked if they’re really gonna try to fit 10 people in those things.
Another thing-if you’re sitting near the doors watch your feet.
What were the wait times like?
way better than a bus....or even driving....plus good scenery. My only concern was the wait times, and it sounds pretty good. Which hotel were you based? They'll be really good to take a mid day break and go back to the hotel pool without wasting a lot of time in traffic.I think I waited maybe 5-10 minutes tops? They’re constantly moving, so the load and unload is done pretty quickly.

Wait was never gonna be a problem as these are almost exactly like omnimovers. Designed for extremely high capacity and constant loading.way better than a bus....or even driving....plus good scenery.

I mean, if Disney really wanted, they could rip out the monorail track and use the existing stations (modified of course) for Gondolas.despite the obvious temperature issues, these appear to be a big hit...could they ever replace the monorail systems?

I’m not advocating for it, I’m just being a realist on what’s possible.Disney needs more transportation not less.
They usually add more buses currently when another mode of transport is down.I am wondering if Disney is going to cut back on their buses with this new mode of transportation added. And if they do, what will happen when the Skyliner breaks down or goes down due to weather conditions?
Just like when the monorail or the boats go down, they re-route buses to fill in. That means service at the resorts suffers with buses coming less frequently.They usually add more buses currently when another mode of transport is down.
Anyone who bitches about the heat in the skyliner are just bitching for the sake of bitching.So it's hard to properly compare to July/August temperatures with no breeze and 100 degree weather.
I don't see how anyone could argue it will be "comfortable" in those type of conditions.
No point in arguing about it though, I won't be visiting the park during those times anyway.
