There should be a marked per vehicle weight limit, that is standard on Gondolas. Doesn’t mean it has to be followed, for example the gondola I was on this morning, which is a Doppelmayr with brand new cabins, has a 705 lb limit for 4 people. With ski equipment, an average 4 adults will be a couple hundred pounds over the limit but are still loaded, which is not unusual across different mountains. Now at Disney, the 180 pound average US weight would come without ski equipment adding weight. The simplest way for Disney to stay under the limit, which is likely to be 1800-2000 lbs for these cabins I would guess, would be to load fewer people than the max. And that really shouldn’t be much of an issue, since the system will move people quick enough to avoid a line buildup except potentially at park close.
The buses aren't assigned to specific routes continuously. A bus returning from BWV to MK may get switched to SSR based on crowds.
Rather than have a large scale for your party to stand on I expect they will keep the gondola capacity well below 10.
What about the emotional support animals? Those ponies could be big!And maybe a few extra Churros and/or Mickey Ears..
I will be shocked if we are unable to ride the gondola in September. Can't they start using it (with the gondolas they have) then just add on as they arrive? I don't mean doing it now. Obviously they will have to go through rigorous safety checks. Heck, I'll be excited if they are ready in May. We'll be there a week or so before Memorial Day. It would be great to utilize them while we are at CBR in May! I'm not nervous at all....if riding the huge one up to the Schilthorn in the Alps didn't phase me, this one sure won't!
Still a lot more to be delivered.
