Oh dang. I missed the fun. Dd3 was sick yesterday and very clingy.
C&P'd this so I wouldn't have to go back and find the original.
I read the entire thread and the best part were the links that it provided with info on gondolas.
Because of my aversion to heights - I still remember the much shorter sky ride in MK from my 1988 visit and how petrified I was when I got on it - I probably will not ride the gondola. That said, if it's safe, I think it's a great addition for transportation for others, who don't have height issues. I enjoyed reading a lot of the posts.
However, it seemed to me that the moderator shut it down for no really good reason, other than maybe he was tired of it. He/she was continuously posting his own thoughts on the subject repeatedly. And at shutdown, it was, 'give it a rest and we'll come back when we know more'.
There is another thread but I'm not so interested that I want to wade through it. Just surprised that this particular thread was closed as I think we might have seen more posts from actual riders in a few days.
