Left Eye/Right Eye
Why having two perspectives is a good thing:
Oh, isn’t this a lovely weather photo with the ice and the rainbow?
OH MY GOD THE CABLE IS GOING TO SNAP.
Actually, the cable isn’t going to snap, the reporter that posted that said so. Plus, if you figure the gondolas can hold 4 people each (at least), and if you go for the heavy (or light, I guess, depending) estimate of 300 pounds each, that’s 3*4*300 = 3600 pounds at least.
There was a lot of ice on them, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even close to being over a ton and a half of frozen water.
In a fit of nostalgia I had to go look up the old rattle traps that pre-dated these dangling plums (here they are!). I rode these blue ones way back when as a kid. There was a severe draft, they swung around like hell, and it was pretty much the scariest thing I’d done up until I step foot onto the aerial tram at the Royal Gorge. And immediately step back off.
