Gondolas swaying in the wind and rain video

[AngiTN]

Found a video on YouTube showing how the gondolas sway during a windy rain storm.
We still don't know how they will handle different weather when running the gondolas.

At 1:13 you get a zoomed in view.

They will handle them as professionals who install them in all sorts of environments do

Now this is a Gondola system... Some cars even have a glass bottom

That might not be bad swaying, but still, I'll take a hard pass on that.

At 1:40ish and 4:30ish, I don’t know what people here aren’t seeing, but that’s vomitrocious for me. Nope. Other people can be the experiments. Not me.

And I don’t ski or go into the alps, either. But skiiing and the alps don’t have *tropical* storms.

That part of it doesn't bother me. But what do I know? We knowingly choose the swinging gondolas on Mickey's Fun Wheel (yes, I know they changed the name).

Same. I wouldn't ride any other car
And in the same way, I have total faith in the manufacturer.
Sure, there are accidents. Who on earth lives their life planning or thinking of accidents? If you did you'd walk around in one of those inflatable bubble things because ANYTHING can be an accident

You know where I can buy one ?

Yes, but they have to operate in MOUNTAIN TOP BLIZZARDS. And there are plenty of tropical storms in Hong Kong, where cable cars are one of the ways you can get to Ocean Park*:

* Number 20 on the most visited parks in the wold.

That's it? Let's do this!

This cable car, at Genting Highlands in Malaysia, looks like it might even be the same model as the Skyliner:

I really don't see anything all that shocking here. They're barely moving, with the weight of passengers and forward momentum they won't sway as much either. In really bad weather I'd imagine these will be closed as many other Disney attractions are done.

 

[Anchored]

I can't wait to ride them! Looks even more fun in the wind, lol

That's a Leitner system, which is Doppelmayr's main competitor. Notice the angular shape of the cabins, as opposed to Doppelmayr's smooth curve.

They're not going to be running in tropical storms, though.

Surely you've been keeping up
These are nothing more than "lightning attracting, oven death traps"
Who knows, maybe it's their new way to reduce crowds? To maim or worse, kill their guests

Because no, they can't have thought of any of these things beforehand

 

[diswis]

Looks kinda fun! I would like it during a storm, haha.
No different than wind at a ski resort, though.

So you're saying we might be able to get Extra Magic Gondola Rides?

Sign me up.

 

[stinkpickle]

Is this the Orange side or the Green side?

I've done the gondola up and down Table Mountain, which has wind basically 100% of the time. Very fun and didn't sway one bit, this should be rock solid by comparison.
