I finally had the opportunity to ride the skyliner last week (1/23). Although the kids (11, 14 & 17) made quite the joke to see how fast we could load and unload the vehicle, our party of 8 (including 2 pooh sized adults) had no trouble boarding within the allotted time. Four to a side seating was comfortable. After all of the talk about how hot these would be in the summer. It was quite cool on a January evening.

That’s a great point. Adding a line from Springs to Epcot/DHS would almost instantly be abused for the free parking in the structures. Sounds like another line will not be added anytime soon.

I thought of better ones 😁

I think @joelkfla was looking for a list of the alleged benefits of extending the Skyliner to AK.

Monorail WEDway PRT ?

How about listing just the top 3?

Agree on the DS comment. AK is another thing! Fully feasible as any speed issues are easily negated by other benefits too numerous to list right now.

I'm afraid PRT has joined monorails in the land of transit curiosities that looked cool but just weren't worth it.

As long as they are bleeding people for parking fees at the parks they will never add a line to DS.

Where are the darn podcars? The gondola shouldn’t be extended from Epcot to MK or AK in my opinion. That’s a far distance to travel at such a slow speed. I could see a station built at Springs.

The heat would’ve probably killed the virus, unfortunately, we’ve found out that they are much more likely to get frostbite! Credit to @lee.moles.disney

I'm sure there's a few posts that didn't age well...I'll check back next year to see the death toll.

All of them, why the resorts are so empty, currently covered up by the pandemic but wait til this summer.

Dozens, if not hundreds. It's all part of a massive cover-up by Disney. COVID came along at the perfect time because it distracted everyone from the rising death toll of the Skyliner.
