Other Information
This ride is commonly used to transport guests up and down large hills and cliffs, because of its high maximum height. Increasing the Chairlift's speed can dramatically increase the ride's excitement rating. This will increase the number of guests who are interested in riding a chairlift and will simultaneously reduce wait times as the ride duration will decrease. Unlike most transports, inclines neither increase nor decrease the speed of the car. Switching to Ski-lift Chairs will increase excitement.
