I've always had this question on my mind, but does anyone know why the Excelerator Express at Blackcomb has a customized terminal compared to the HSQ of the same year/vintage?

I remember a few years ago we talked about how the bottom terminal was designed to look like Excalibur's top terminal, but the top is well, a different story it looks like.

I don't know the specific reason why the terminals on that lift are like that. I can tell you from a machinery layout point of view it is still by far the best on WB. The only change I'd make is to extend the full roof over the turn around so you dont get water leaks and have better access.
