MAINTENANCE FEES

[Brian Noble]

If you look at the map, you can kind of sort of draw a line from the Studios station to AKL, and some people think that since you can draw that line, certainly Disney is going to eventually build the Skyliner so that Poor Little AKL can have something other than a bus.

I don't think any of that discussion rises to the level of "credible rumor" but that's just me.

I missed that too. Is there a credible rumor about expanding the skyliner? I'd love that.

Oh, you know. Just wishes and prayers.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone said anything in this thread to the contrary. Only that it’s a topic of conversation and some people wish for it (and some do not).

Yes, we're in the 100% do-not column. Would be such an eyesore for such a picturesque/themed resort and park, and just seems completely unnecessary.... not to mention the potential for additional fees. We're happy to pay dues for the animals, not so much for Skyliner. Glad that this wish/rumor has not seemed to gain any traction over the past years.......

I totally get that perspective! And I personally doubt that it will happen.

I think the #1 reason it doesn't happen is that you'd pretty much have to route it directly over Sunset Blvd in Studios, and while Imagineering has made some compromises about sight lines in the past, that would be...a decision.

They could expand that crazy turn station before EPCOT and go over Coronado. Would add another moderate to the Skyliner.

I wish there was a skyliner way to get to Coronado that would be cool ive always wanted to go there

When the current Skyliner was under construction, before the pandemic, there were reports that if it was as successful as expected, Disney planned another line from DHS to Coronado, the All Stars, AK, and AKV. And someplace in the DISboards archives are line drawings of what the route would look like. However, Covid seems to have changed or cancelled numerous plans, and it’s quite possible the Skyliner extension was among them.
