Right, but we are taking about people taking 5-10 minute rides in enclosed cars to and from outdoor theme parks.

I hope you are joking.

The opening rail is the blue one on top. It ends once the grip is fully opened. Disney’s opening rails aren’t Doppelmayr blue but instead drab gray. The ones at Hourglass Lake are green. Not only does it stop the entire lift, it likely triggers a clutch that prevents the affected cabin from...

There are two schools of thought here. Doppelmayr's competitor uses a single position grip that immediately goes back to the closed position when not being forced open, as you describe. Many older Doppelmayr lifts also work like this. An argument for a double position grip (one that can lock...

A couple new videos showing how D-Line grips detach from the haul rope:

Most of the Epcot line covers are now off according to PttP.

Looks like covers are all off on the Hourglass Lake line.

They are stub rails for single cabins or work carriers.

What a cool looking angle station!

Ah yes I did. Another helpful video. Thanks.

This is awesome. Could you do this for a cabin that goes onto the rear loop?

If there is a lockout stop in at Riviera, the lift won't start. All stations would see something like "RST Maintenance Lockout" on their screens.

Lockout-tagout station seen here:

Just because D-Line is capable of 7 m/s doesn't mean the Skyliner is. In fact no Doppelmayr customer has bought one that goes faster than 6.5 m/s to date. The vast majority go between 5 and 6 m/s maximum just like what we've seen the Skyliner going.

This project is so far out of the ordinary that it's hard to say. Two years ago Doppelmayr built a gondola for the State of New York that went from cabins on to open in ten days. https://www.belleayre.com/the-mountain/mountain-improvements

It would not surprise me if Disney axed the option entirely for its cabins.

Usually there is but only if you have a special tool. Maintenance personnel at ski resorts sometimes self evacuate from stopped lifts so they can assist with fixing problems and/or evacuating others.

The birds are so loud.

Of course they are but not in the public domain.

I think the cabins have numbers on the doors. It shouldn't be too hard to catalog them all eventually. A normal ski resort project at this stage of completion would be opening very soon. But this is not a normal ski resort project.
