h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I can’t wait. I don’t know why but I’m excited to ride them. 300 gondolas is any impressive number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 My question is, they shut down attractions when the lightning detectors go off at either a 5 or 10 mile distance. Are they going to be shutting these down when that happens? By the time they unload 300 gondolas due to approaching storms, the storms will have moved on and they will need to start loading again... until the next flash of lightning! Will it be set up so you can go from Epcot to HS directly, or will you have to take the scenic tour to the hotels first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm with you Ray. We are going to be there in the fall and I hope it is up and running. I want to ride those things just for the fun and the views. They move at 11mph most golf carts only go 14 mph unless they have been modified. I don't think it will feel slow.

Beckers 1,136 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Let’s be real, the annoying this is only 22 of the 300 cars have character pictures on them. Lord help the person stuck behind the social media bozos who have to wait for a character car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Orlando Eye has 2 or 3 Coke cars on it where they roll a cooler of Coke products onto it for you to enjoy. They don't allow anyone to hang out and wait, you have to get on the next available car that comes along. But seriously, how much $$$ do the vinyls cost that they are slapping on those 22 cars? They can't afford to decorate all of them? Talk about penny pinching! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Want to ride in the front? Fine - go wait over there until there's a spot for you. fladogfan aka Gretchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Saw them yesterday at HS. Thought they were going pretty fast! Lots of vents and a really cool system that let's them keep moving while there are 4 or 5 stacked for loading. I'm excited to ride them as well. I'm also excited for the first story of people to getting caught having special relations in them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
