(19) LIONSHEAD GONDOLA (BELL/VON ROLL) - Originally constructed in in 1969 as Vail's second gondola. After a
bad accident in 1976 the lift was retrofitted by Von Roll The accident on the Lionshead Gondola occured in March, 1976.
According to Eric of Denver, the cause was a frayed track cable that made 3 or four cars get tangled on tower #5. Two
of the cars fell and a third was left hanging by a thread of steel. The CWA cabins are the original cars but they had new arms and
wheel carriages installed. The towers were re-configured at the top so that the haul cable would not be able to cut through the
arm if a similar accident occurred.

(1) VAIL GONDOLA (BELL) - Built for the mountain's opening in 1961 this 4 person lift ran until 1976. Similar engineering
flaws to Lionshead were recognized. This combined with limited uphill capacity, the aging lift was replaced with 2 Riblet double chairs.

celebrities.
