Took some video of uncovered gondola cabins.

I wonder if they are playing with the speed. Some of the footage I've seen seems like they are moving at a pretty good clip. The other times it looks like they are moving slower. It will be interesting to see what they end up with. I can't wait to see them when I go down in May. For now, I have to live vicariously through people like you!

Thanks for posting the videos!

Your welcome, yes they did seem to be faster at times. Those 4 went to CBR and back in about 8 minutes one time.

Reports are the normal operating speed of the line will be about 11 mph.

What are the roles of these?

They transport guests from DVC Riviera to EPCOT and DHS. Also POP/AoA and CBR.

Will the stop at Epcot be inside the park?
Or will you be able to take it from Rivera to BWV/BWV with out a park ticket?

How many people do they hold?

The Epcot stop will be outside the park, at the International Gateway, near the boat dock. No park ticket needed.

How many people do they hold?

They hold 8-10 people.

There’s an extensive thread, everything you’d want to know about the gondolas, on the DIS Rumors & News board.
