It looks like SR is getting ready to load chairs to the Chondola

[WJenness]

The upper chair arms with grips are sitting on the ground at the Chondola base.

Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to load test and then inspect a lift? Any chance they're pushing to have it open for this weekend? They did make snow on Escapade and Dream Maker already...

They are doing the 1st Tests on Dec 4th I think Dana posted today. I'll go back and find it.

Once the cable is strung are they ready to attach the chairs? Or, will they start the lift without any load for testing or other finishing work?



I saw GM delivering a truck full of crash dummies into the sr parking lot, so I bet they will be doing some testing for sure, even after the chairs are a go.... better a dummie than me.... or is it one in the same...




Great questions. We have many tests to do before the official load test scheduled for December 4th. We are running the cable without chairs to work on complete alignment. Soon we will be adding chairs and then Gondola cabins. This is one great lift.

Thanks Bob... I saw that thread, and somehow missed Dana's post.

No biggie, seems like you have bitten by the River Bug Wjeness. It carries an addiction.
