Second Ferry boat dock construction at the Magic Kingdom

Posted: Monday March 3, 2014 9:30am EST by WDWMAGIC Staff

A second ferry boat dock is now under construction at the Magic Kingdom in a further upgrade to the ferry boat service.

In the past few weeks we have been following the construction of the second ferry boat dock at the Transportation and Ticket Center, which will now see both sides of the ferry operation upgraded to having two docks.

The two docks at each end of the ferry route will allow for simultaneous load and unload of two ferry boats.

I’ve found the monorail to be much more reliable during recent visits. Largely only down due to weather (as always).

It sucks that we all just accept this as standard operating procedure now. At one time you wouldn't think, "...when the monorail is down..," because: 99.8% uptime. Now, it's just accepted, "When the monorail is down..." I'd say that they'd need a new ferry dock either way, though, with increased crowds and the 50th coming up.

Nice to see the TTC getting desperately needed upgrades. Did the 2nd dock ever have a shade structure to begin with, cant really see one in aerial views?

Photo update as of Friday, March 29, 2019. I don't like to start a new thread, when an old one will do. Subject: Ticket and Transportation Center ferryboat dock waiting area. The large trees that used to shade the waiting area for the Magic Kingdom ferryboat at the Ticket and Transportation Center have been removed. A new steel structure is being built over the west dock area as shade for the expanded waiting area. As many of you will recall, the original shaded waiting area was too small for large crowds and many guests had to wait "up the ramp" in the hot sun. I expect another steel structure to be built for shade over the east dock area when this one is completed.

never said monorails can't go fast, just that mag lev's go faster, japan built a mag lev that can go 581km/h.. DAMN!! that would be to the coast in like 20 minutes.

Maglev would be cool (and there actually is a guy trying to build one along the beach line - different story) but it is a common misconception the monorails can't go fast. Their speed is artificially governed and minus that I believe the top speed is around 120mph.

Some pilots did but it was against the rules.

Could have swore we came in the east side entrance before. My bad.

mm121Apr 02, 2014

dont know why they didn't do this years ago. love the dreams here.. to port canaeral would be super cool, though that would need to be a maglev so it could go way fast... they could build a beach theme waterpark :) by the actual beach.
