So after the modifications it will be about 27 towers long or about 130 human feet long. That's quite a bit!!!

no no no no hsq what i meant is the entire thing will be aprox 80 feet long total.. about.. and then only 7 towers because funitels are supposed to span greater distances int here towers than gondolas..
so basically i was increased in length and the whole support system was redesigned.. i will go take pics right now and i will spray paint the ground where a tower will go.
pics should be up in a an hour.

Number of downloads: 55nt]OK heres the basic pics of the line..
the lense of me cam was a bit foggy so the pics are al ittle blurry.. orry i was out in my basket ball pants so i was in a hurry.. once a better day comes i will really get better detailed shots.
ok so the first pic is of the lower 1/2 of the lift line..
second is of the upper 1/2..
(on the second i had to move away to get it all in so the lift is longer thna it appears..)
and the 3d is just a little idea of the line from the base looking up with a tiny sketch in paint on it..
now with the cabins.. i made the first and i ma just tweaking it to the final state.. i hope to have pics up tonight.
thanks
