10 years ago a popular tourist attraction at a seaside town closed for safety reasons: it was a chairlift from partway up a hill to the top of the highest point on that stretch of land. It had been operational since the 1960s and closed after a pylon collapsed injuring 18 riders and stranding the rest for hours. A friend and his then ten-yr-old daughter were among those stuck in midair.
I've just learned that it will be reopening on Dec 3rd as a Swiss-designed gondola cable-car system. This is great news, I recall riding the original in the late 1970s and enjoying it greatly.
