They also have to go over Buena Vista Dr which I can't see them closing for a long period of time.

If they need to close the road at all I wonder if they would just do it at night when traffic would be minimal.

Do you know if the IG will be completely shut? Or is it just the boats that are affected?

The IG will not completely shut. It will be open to foot traffic.

Am I correct in the assumption that a rope will first be flown over the system by helicopter then the cable pulled off the spool by the rope onto the systems guide wheels?

Probably don't need a helicopter for this one.

The temporary bridge across the waterway will help with cable pulls.

I would be willing to bet that this has been done enough that there is a very good system and mechanical devices to do this job with ease.

Some workers find it difficult to understand, but once they see it in action up close...they get the point.

Helicopters are expensive for things you can easily do from the ground or people scaling small towers.. or from accessible ground locations. You use helicopters when you can't simply drive up to the spot and do it from the ground.

You start with small guide lines... then step up to the heavier cable once your guide lines run where you need them.

I'll be there the first week of December, too, to witness the spectacular Festival of the Rope!

Luckily/unluckily, I've been priced out of the Swolphin, so, I won't be affected (my condolences Crescent Lake folk!). But, I'll wander to the IG and see what I can see!

At Pop, I usually ask for fourth floor facing the lake, so maybe I'll get good pics of the roping there.

I'll be there the week after you, also staying at POP, so I will try to keep the pictures coming.

@liftblog - any idea what these buildings on the POP / AoA Station?

I have not seen these on any gondola systems I have ridden. They look like construction containers, but appear to be more permanent.

Those can be craned on and off in a jiffy -- no reason to think they're permanent...

The one with the window looks to be where the CM can sit in air conditioned comfort to observe while the charred bodies are removed from the cabins. If the one on the other side has the same window then a second CM will be observing the fresh meat loading into the cabins.

Agree, however, the reason I asked if they were more permanent is that it appears that the insulation was installed on-site. all of the modular spaces I have dealt with are fully self contained and sealed - just connect to power and go.

Typically, one does not install insulation on-site in a temporary building.

Has anyone discovered where the seasoning and basting machinery will be located ?

 

[flynnibus]

just look like operator/staff enclosures. Remember, you're in complete isolation out there on the bridge, so there will likely be some enclosed spaces for operations and staff purposes.

They are permanent. If you follow the construction pictures you can see that insulation and an outside wall coverings were added after these were put in place. No reason to do that sort of work on a temporary building.

Oh dear.

At least the first one has a themed tower at its base...
