Looks fun Emmie !

[rockyracoon]

Nope! Not for me.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes please, fantastic.

What a brilliant idea and far better than the cable cars

[emmie]

they look amazing admittedly. I would go on it, even though i don't have much of head for heights.

That video doesn't give a good sense of how steep or not , it is

So I'll just have to accept that it is steep

[Hopkirk]

Brilliant, but don't forget the Victorians put a railway to the top of Snowdon.

[Islay]

According to the text its pretty steep
//The floors tilt, adjusting to the slope as the funicular climbs 110m (360ft) over a distance of 100m at the steepest point. //

I do love a funicular, I've been on every one in the UK and a few abroad.
I'd love it

[emmie]

i do like them, this would be very exciting..

//Should potential passengers feel fainthearted, they can be reassured that the journey lasts just four minutes.//

Or ten seconds if it goes wrong :-)

Mmm I'd give it a try ..

I'd do it. I thought you were linking to a rollercoaster or something; I'm less keen on them, but this is a sort of adjustable-pitch cable car.

I live not far from the oldest and steepest funicular railway in England - it's a real shame it is no longer powered by water.

Thanks, Emmie.....not too far from next year's holiday destination....think I'll surprise my companions with a little trip... :-)

What happens if they suddenly get the wrong type of snow on the line ?
