Top Chef: Fine Cuisine on a Gondola
Let’s take a quick look at some of the highlights from around the world of Urban Gondolas, Gondola Transit, and Cable Propelled Transit.
- Contestants on the popular tv show Top Chef find themselves cooking in the Whister’s Peak 2 Peak Gondola for their final challenge. Chefs cooking safely in a gondola really is a testament to the high level of stability achieved in 3S CPT technology.
- Table Mountain cable car in Cape Town, South Africa experiences a minor glitch, leaving 250 passengers stuck at the peak (not inside the cabin). However, staff immediately provided food and drinks to keep tourists entertained while visitors enjoyed the nighttime cityscape from up top.
- Exciting news from London as reports state that the London Cable Car (Emirates Air Line Cable Car) will be strung on the weekend of March 10. The system seems to be on schedule and may be operational by the start of the Olympics.

Indeed, The london gondola shows how fast these infrastructures can be deployed! compared to other transit, it’s at the speed of light ! 🙂
and for some more views of what it’s like inside a gondola check out http://www.cupix.at for their 3D photo tour of the Gaislachkoglbahn 3S (Bergbahnen Sölden). Nice terminal architecture too.
