I was just checking out whistlerblackcomb.com and came across a link to a video that absolutely blew my mind. The intro goes on to explain that they are building a 4 tower lift that goes from the top of Whistler to the top of Blackcomb (the largest vertical rise mountain in North America).
The gondola will be 3.5 times the width of the San Fran bridge, that famous one. And 4.5x the height of statutes of liberty, 415 meters higher than the valley floor below.
This is one ride I am quite positive will be like no other. Can't wait! Planning to launch for Winter 08. With plenty of time for the 2010 Olympics, which if you didn't know already, will be hosted here in Vancouver and Whistler.
