First Skyliner cabin has arrived on site!

https://www.wdwmagic.com/transporta...otos---disney-skyliner-cabins-now-on-site.htm

I'm really interested in seeing the inside of it for sizing of space. That video on the dedicated thread was great to get an idea but now I want to see it in real life instead of computer generated image.

That that two way mirror? Go guests can't look into the cabins but people inside can look out. I guess that makes sense

They should have skins put on them too with Disney characters.

It’s either an 8 or 10 person cabin.

FINALLY some additions - can't wait!

ETA: looks like they might have some more new offerings TBA?

I don't meant to bring too much chatter to this thread but I honestly can't remember if in the dedicated thread or not if strollers would be using the normal cabins or ones more designed for ECVs and wheelchairs--are there dedicated ones for that or is it just that the cabins have seats that can be pushed up like in a bus? Sorry I'm just blanking on if that information was said somewhere in that other thread.

I think it was said somewhere that all of them are going to be compatible. Which probably means that they have some sort of ramp system in the loading docks.

The articles states that they don't appear to be air conditioned.
Given the fact that any mechanical contrivance can fail, how are they going to address the possibility of a stoppage that leaves guests stranded in hanging ovens?

The doors all have openable windows, and gondolas all have back up systems to evacuate if needed.

Could also be some of that reflective UV tint stuff on the glass to help them not be total greenhouses.

I'm sorry, but Pixar Pier has always been a negative for me ever since they announced it.

My opinion...Why did Disney have to ruin a perfect rollercoaster with this? Everything goes by so fast that you can't even tell what you are looking at. Also, it would have been nice if they colored the inside of the tunnels or had some designs on the inside of them. It's just black with a few Incredibles characters plastered on them.

My opinion...California Screamin > Incredicoaster.

There is more to theming a land than just what the guest sees while actually on an attraction.

It'll be interesting to see how they plan on evacuating 8-10 people from infants to elderly,, ECV's, and wheelchairs, from a couple of hundred free hanging pods potentially at night or in a thunderstorm.

Don't have to. Each car has a battery backup to drive themselves to the nearest station to unload. All this has been covered, many times, in the gondola thread. If you search it, you will find a lot of answers.

This post wasn’t about Pixar Pier as a whole. This is about the Incredicoaster. I’m sure there will be aspects of Pixar Pier that I will like. I just don’t like what they did with the rollercoaster right now. It seems like a cheap overlay to me, and a cheap way to add IP to a rollercoaster that didn’t need it.

They all should be able to take ECVs and wheelchairs. There are two loading areas at each station. Likely one will be dedicated to wheelchairs and such.

Thank you both

No air conditioning? someone spin that one for me... How is could this possibly be comfortable with 10 people on board in August.

And no way that window tint and those tiny window slots like on the Disneyland monorail will suffice; there must be something I'm missing here..

You won’t be on these very long. AC on gondolas isn’t exactly common either.

Whatever your thoughts are on the Incredicoaster overlay, it must be a really cool experience to ride a ride with the creative director of that ride (or at least overlay to that ride):

I don't remember any of the rumors mentioning seats at all, could be wrong. If everyone stands they could handle the large rolling expeditions you sometimes see in the parks, side-by side strollers, wheeled coolers. That might be the only way. At ski resorts I've seen small benches around the sides, you sorta half-lean half-sit on them.
