Disney Skyliner Gondolas Uncovered, Revealing Characters from Haunted Mansion, “Coco”, “Guardians of the Galaxy” & More

Hi everyone!

55 Disney themed Skyliner gondolas were uncovered today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, revealing a variety of characters including Madame Leota as part of the Haunted Mansion gondola, Starlord and Gamora as part of Guardians of the Galaxy gondola and so many more including Coco and Winnie the Pooh characters. We were out there for about an hour and the gondolas (in testing stage) often would stop for lengths of time, so some gondolas I photographed very well and a few others I may have missed a side. I can always add in any characters I missed here!

Between our photos and video, all the gondolas should be covered pretty fully. For example, I somehow didn’t see Mickey and Minnie on one side but Jeff has that in the video. There are duplicate gondola characters, and I will show that below. My personal favorite is the Haunted Mansion gondola! The Disney Skyliner is scheduled to open sometime this fall, and will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot’s International Gateway, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, the upcoming Disney Riviera Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.

Below are over 60 photos and our video!

We had a morning event nearby and it was nice we could stop by afterwards.

Here is our video.

And a look toward the Disney Skyliner station with the Tower of Terror in the background.

The Hitchhiking Ghosts are part of the Haunted Mansion gondola.

The Madame Leota side is my favorite.

And I think this is the final side (but I mentioned that I missed some sides).

The Guardians of the Galaxy gondola design is really fun! Yondu with Cosmo are on this side.

And Groot and Rocket is my favorite design on this one.
