Public transit and gondolas just never seem to catch a break. And when we thought we’ve seen it all — the Roosevelt Island Tram being attacked by the Punisher, the Sugarloaf Cable Car having its propulsion cable severed by Jaw’s teeth and an LA bus rigged with a ticking time bomb — we find out about the “Gondola Map” in the upcoming video game, Gears of War: Judgement.
Installments of this game sold over 6 million copies each, generating over $1 billion in sales over its lifetime. Image from gamestersparadice.com.
And if it just so happens that you’re not male and not between 8-35 years old, you probably have no idea what a “Gears of War” is. Well, to put it simply, it’s one of the best selling video games and franchises in Xbox history. In other words, millions of teenage boys and young men will soon play and experience what you will see in just a few seconds.
So without further adieu, I present you the “Gondola Map” tour (by the way, I love the ending quote).
Just what we need to make young men crave for urban gondola transit… right?

Love it..
“for quick access you can always ride one of the gondolas up, or down the mountain but not everyone is comfortable being trapped in a small moving car with live frag grenades”
This game alone may single handedly turn the tide for more urban gondolas.
The gondolas do look quite fast and spacious. 😉
