I will be leaving DIA 12:55am 9/20/07 bound for Athens Greece.

I will be returning 9/27/07 Unless I love it to much. Then I will never come back :). I know that some will be very happy if I do not return.

I will take pics of any lifts that I see.

I can't wait.

There is a really cool looking funitel called Mont Parnes that opened last April. It is a Doppelmayr 20 passenger model that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is some more info here: http://www.etema.gr/...lmontparnes.htm

I believe the Worldbook stated that there are 2 complete drive systems and some extra cabins. They can shuffle between them I assume.
