And that's why there is no way Disney would take bus service away and make people take the gondolas as the only form of transportation to DHS and Epcot. Why would Disney set themselves up for complaints from angry park guests who can't take the gondolas due to phobias or other personal reasons?
They will most likely reduce the number of buses making those trips, but they will have to provide some other form of transportation.
Yeah, I just had a similar thought: maybe the gondola won't be a complete mode of transportation but rather a paid supplement, similar to the special buses going between parks called Express Transportation Option. It costs extra but some people really like it. If you don't want to pay, there are still regular buses going between the parks. If the gondola is built with the intention of charging a proper amount so that it will pay for itself plus make some money without being responsible for the entire transportation to Epcot/DHS, then the gondola plan is making sense to me. Yes, I do believe there will be enough people who will pay extra to ride a gondola between Epcot/DHS/CB/Pop/AofA, there are so many people living in those 3 hotels. It will relief the bus system rather than replace it. Now I do believe that there will be a gondola built.
Going back to the original discussion, if the gondola charges separate for itself, the Pop prices doesn't need to go up because of the existence of the gondola.
