Description


A bizarre combination of train and lift. Starting near Piazza Principe station the cabin initially runs into the side of the hill as a cable pulled railway car, but then turns a corner and is pulled into a lift mechanism, at the same time as the car in the opposite direction is ejected from a neighbouring lift mechanism. The car then, sat in it's cradle, rises up to the top of the hill like a standard lift.

Charge
