Some astonishingly impressive stuff about the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway:
The Cableway has transported over 20-million people to the summit of Table Mountain. Each of the two cable cars can carry 65 people. More than 800 people can enjoy the trip every hour. The floor of the circular cabin rotates to allow travellers 360° views. The cable cars’ circular shape ensures excellent aerodynamics and stability. Approximately 800 000 visitors from all over the world use the Cableway annually. Tickets can be bought online from anywhere in the world. The cable cars travel at a maximum speed of 10m per second. The cable cars take four to five minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Each of the Cableway’s cables is 1200m in length. The cables weigh 18 tonnes and are attached to counter-weights weighing 134 tonnes each. The cable car base is a water tank with a 4000l capacity. This provides fresh water for visitors, and is used as ballast in windy conditions. The cable cars can carry up to 5 200kg each. There are only two other such cable cars in the world; one in Titlis in Switzerland, and the other in Palm Springs in the United States. The cable cars take visitors 704m, from the lower station at 363m above sea level, to the upper station, at 1067m above sea level.
