The Future of Skyride

Oh yeah I completely forgot that the FV stations were combined lol

Yeah, if I am correct they are driven from the FV station and it uses the same motor for both

I’m pretty sure it’s two separate motors, just that the rails the gondolas travel on once off the ropes connect the incoming of one to the outgoing of the other.

Two separate systems, but with links from one to the other for gondolas that can’t be reconfigured.

I’m pretty certain that main drive is at FV, which is why the station has back up diesel generators if I’m not mistaken?

Yes Valley is the main drive, Towers Street has the gondola garage, both Towers street and Dark Forest have the cable tensioners.

I think it is all driven from a single, multi geared drive unit. This ensures everything stays in sync.

DF can store 5 or 6 cabins, the only time I’ve seen cabins being stored at DF was 10 years ago.
