I think the Skyliners are pretty much the only double-loading gondolas in North America. They join Quicksilver Super6 in those “rare credits” category. Of course, what makes them different from Quicksilver is that Quicksilver is only double loading at the bottom and not at the top, whereas the Skyliner lines have double loading at both ends of each route.
Had the privilege of riding the Disney Skyliner(s) this past August. I must say, Very impressive setup and operation. They appeared to run each line near or at full speed, It rarely ever came to a complete stop, had a wicked smooth ride and was open from 7am to 10pm daily. The views from the lift and of the lift around the Caribbean Beach stations are very pretty. Disney did a very nice job on this project.

Blizzard Beach is currently closed for refurbishment. The Tampa gondola is also closed so I will have to come back some time.

Skyliner is having more growing pains and still managed to surpass 1M passengers already.
