Air conditioning needs power - a fair bit of it too, so I suspect there is quite a bit more cabling other then the drive "ropeway" to be put in, before thorough testing, doubtless in the summer heat next year before unleashing the new transport system on guests.
I've read that there won't be any aircon on the cable cars.

The pictures of the cable cars they'll be using don't have any obvious aircon system.
