Roofs with side overhang on the gondolas to keep passengers shaded would be a great help. The sun shining into a transparent windowed closed space will heat up the space mighty fast. At times at WDW it is uncomfortable enough standing in the open air outside.
The term "detachable" was used to describe the gondolas. A gondola would disengage from the cable as it entered a station and be supported by an overhead rail. It could be stationary during unloading and loading.
I rode such a detachable gondola many years ago (Coney Island, New York City). Those gondolas were small enough so an attendant could pull them into position on the platform and hold them still for unloading and loading, and then push them into position to re-engage the cable for the next trip.
