Riviera resort skyliner station and ECVs?

[DurangoJim]

I’m not sure if I’m posting this in the right forum so feel free to move it. I know at most skyliner stations they have a separate wheelchair ecv loading area where they take a car off the line to load the mobility device. At Riviera it doesn’t look like they do, so how do they load ecvs at Riviera?
Thanks!

They will either slow the line down even more or stop it completely to allow ECVs to load/unload.

sounds like really good planning there, Disney.

They stop the line to load ECV’s at the RIV station.

they truly pull out all the stops for RVA guests ...

Let’s not forget about 1/3 of Caribbean Beach Resort also uses that station.

Hi, DurangoJim.

The Riviera Skyliner Station is the only one that doesn't have a dedicated handicap gondola pullout section. The Riviera Skyliner Station has to load and unload from the regular line. All the other Skyliner Stations have a separate handicap section from the regular line.

Hey @RaySharpton, I posted elsewhere that I was surprised this past week to see the ECV/Accessible “loops” closed during the day when the demand was low. I guess the ability to load/unload from the main platforms at all stations is sufficient if hourly throughput doesn't need to be optimized. Based on other Doppelmayr installations around the world I guess WDW’s ECV loops are pretty unique.

Hi, Spartan86.

Isn't that something. That is surprising to me, too. I appreciate you telling me. I think I recall that information about Doppelmayr a long time ago, but I forgot. And I couldn't remember the correct terminology of ECV/Accessible “loops”.

So many changes during this SARS-CoV-2 time.

Thank you.

As has been stated above they will slow or stop the line as needed to allow for ECV loading and unloading at the Riviera station.
