Talk:Funitel

Images
There used to be like 3 images on this page. It looks like a vandal took them off. For some reason I can't find them in the history though. Tobyk777 05:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

History
Could someone knowledgeable about funitels give a little more history? Are they a recent invention (like the 1990s)? — EncMstr 05:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Details
Also, having never seen one, how about some mundane information: are there seats in them? Do the doors open automatically? Are they heated? How closely are they spaced? Where do skis go? How fast do they move? What is their capacity? What does a supporting tower head look like? Why would a ski area install a funitel instead of a chairlift? Would a passenger like them more than a chairlift? — EncMstr 05:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Found some photos which answered a few questions. — EncMstr 05:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried to expand a bit on your questions, using my personal experience with Verbier's Funitel. (Called Funispace there, and I always knew it by that name) --Krator 00:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the expansion. How many people fit into a "high capacity cabin"? Six? 250? —EncMstr 06:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That should probably be changed, because it's mostly my personal perception. I consider 'more than 10' to be high capacity. In the Funitel I know, one could fit about 30 people. (See: here) --Krator 11:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Diagram
There is an unexplained crossover in the left terminal. Is that to balance cable wear? Also, do both cables move? — EncMstr 05:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
