See the 4 small holes in the curved hangar arm? Normally that is the top part of the mechanical door mechanism. Unclear whether it just hasn’t been attached yet or there will be a different system.
It’s the attachment point for the new peltier based AC units. We all were wrong after all...

I would assume something would need to run up the arm. If it was electrical they would either have to supply power to the mechanism while in the station, or have a method to charge a battery. Either way I assume we would see something running up the arm. That leads me to believe that something just hasn't been connected up yet.

Yup...and why I’m not rushing to say anything. Nothing really suggests “everything” is here/done yet... patience will pay off :)

I mean... big black cables lying around still, etc :)

Another BioReconstruct photo. It would appear the gondolas have information papers on the wrapping including number, various technical details, Instagram, and a linkedin thing?

Here's an example of one from a ski resort:


Looks like the one above says Lake Buena Vista ______ to DHS

Cleaned it up as much as I could.

Looks like the main station has a name, and each gondola was built for a specific line. It's likely they'll be switched around during operations, but each line seems to have a different project name.

The Instagram just seems to be their Instagram page.

I wonder what this tells us about the rumor of production delays. This car was complete last July.
