That would be bad. We already have to deal with Microsoft updates on tuesdaysYeah, 10/16 may be an interesting day for MDE. Not a lot of data to go on, but this may also show that Disney pushes MDE system updates on Tuesdays? The last big flub with MDE occurred on 9/11 which was a Tues, and now the 'go-live' for the new ticket system will be a Tues as well.

KtP reporting: "Doppelmayr, the company building the Walt Disney World Gondola system, has confirmed at the European IAAPA convention that the Gondolas will NOT offer Air Conditioning."
The difference between these and ski area Gondolas, is that these are designed for more airflow. Ski resorts want them fully protected from wind inside for warmth. The open vents and airflow will keep them cooler, even while stopped.I have thought this was a mistake all along. I've spent plenty of time on gondolas. Most recently, we've been visiting a ski resort in northern Idaho the past few summers and ride a long gondola there. Outside temps are usually in the 70s-80s with very little humidity and it starts to get toasty in there about midway up the mountain! Now, I did see that @bioreconstruct tweeted yesterday some approximate times for each route (his projections based on a gondola transit system in Bolivia) and the longest one is only 3 minutes 49 seconds. So, assuming no breakdowns, you're not going to be up there very long at all. But, there are likely to be some stoppages, so those passengers in the heat and humidity of summer are going to bake when that happens!
