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.
