- The Moose Bar XXL event used gondolas to entertain party guests. This two-day event in Belgium integrated five ski lift cable cars into the venue to give guests an exclusive panoramic view of the performance. Four of the gondolas were placed in the corners and flown up and down 6.5 meters. The fifth gondola was used to move performers to multiple stages. This gondola was able to move in multiple directions and elevations.
- The Prague district in the Czech Republic is planning a new cable car. The cable car will create a convenient route between Podbaba (Prague 6) and Bohnice (Prague 8) districts reducing commutes by almost 30 minutes. The route will travel over the Vitava River through three stations; Podbaba, Zoo, and Krakov. The system is being designed for a base capacity of 2,000 passengers per hour (pph), with ability to increase to 4,000 pph during peak seasons.

- There is renewed interest in the Dover district in England for a cable car to connect Dover Castle and the seafront.

With the implementation of the cable car, visitors to the castle are predicted to increase by up to 70,000 per year.
