  • Atlantic Canada is excitedly expecting its first gondola. The gondola is expected to begin operating during the summer at Ingonish Beach. The upper terminal will be a viewing platform with future improvements including a tree walk. The construction is being conducted by Leitner POMA and the system is expected to be built by the end of April.
  • The Maidenhead Town Council is considering a cable car to boost tourism. The project is in the very early stages, but current plans would connect the town’s railway station to the top of one of the tall buildings being built in town, offering panoramic views of Maidenhead, England. Economic analysis shows the system paying for itself within two to three years of operation and there is already a company interested in operating the cable car.
