On Monday I took around 80 pics of the Kicking Horse Fix Grip Quad @ Solvista.

Kicking Horse has 33 chairs 6 towers and runs @ 450FPM. They slow it down when someone is loading the chair. Other then first thing in the morning they might load a chair every 10 to 20 mins if that. Kicking Horse Serves the Condo's.

I will upload some pics here and then i'll upload the them all to another site and provide a link to it.

I went inside the Cascade quad at Norquay and it is a lot different than the Kicking Horse. In the Kicking Horse, the APU is conected by a shaft and the Cascade's APU is conected by belts. And the chairs are different because the Kicking Horse was instaled just as Leitner and Poma joined. And I think there is a slight difference in towers betwen the 2 lifts.

the kicking horse was installed during the merge. I like this lift a lot. I also like the Quickdraw Lift @ solvista which i should be getting some nice shots of this weekend depending on the weather.

You'll have that. We have three Yans where the motors are connected by shafts, and three that use belts. Different years, different styles.

We have Yans with belts, a Mueller with a chain and a Thiokol with a shaft & chain coupling :)

Sorry I guess I can be a little overeager sometimes. I just haven't had a chance to post these pictures since this summer.
