Oh, wait, #4 is the first Leitner-Poma HSQ at Gore (the one that's not the Adirondack II).

2 has already been answered. 4 is the Burnt Ridge Express Quad at Gore Mountain.

No one has tried 1 or 3 yet. They are both in the east. Lift #1 has a twin lift installed at the same mountain the same season with the same design. The only differences between these lifts is the length/vertical of course and that they have different rotations. Lift #1 is clockwise and its twin is counterclockwise. Lift #3 is located at a mountain approximately 2 hours north of #1.
