Singapore Cable Car – 360 Cities

Thanks to one of our readers, we been sent a really cool link which showcases the Singapore Cable Car in 360 degrees panorama view. Given the quality of the virtual reality photography, zooming in and out and panning around the cable car almost feels a bit surreal — it’s as if you’re actually riding on the gondola itself! Enjoy!

Weekly Roundup: Cable Car Transit in Indonesia?

Gulangyu Island - the world's shortest ropeway is set for demolition.

A quick look at some of the things that happened this week in the world of cable cars, urban gondolas and cable propelled transit:

  • At only 202 meters long, Gulangyu Island’s urban ropeway system is said to be the shortest in the world. Built without approval in 1995, the system is being dismantled in preparation for the Chinese Island’s upcoming UNESCO World Cultural Heritage designation.
  • An eco-tourism consortium plans to conduct a pre-feasibility study for a cable car link to Machu Picchu’s ‘sister site,’ Choquequirao. Rightly or wrongly, I think we all know the controversy this one’s going to cause.

Sentosa Gondola Transit

Unfortunately, no post today due to travel.

I did, however, want to take a few minutes and tell everyone to check back here next week. We’ll have original images and documentation of the rebuilt Sentosa Island Gondola in Singapore.

As regular readers know, it’s an important system but there’s not a whole lot of readily-available, first-hand research on it.

Hopefully we can rectify that situation.
