Gondola Lift, and guests who stroll

The Gondola Lift, built in the track editor
Stations anywhere on the loop
Guests stroll to pretty corners (new parks)
Crowds stepped round, everyone at their own pace

The Gondola Lift is built in the track editor, piece by piece like a coaster, but the cable pulls every cabin. Put two stations or more anywhere on the loop, each with its own booth and line, and guests ride it to cross the park or for the view. It replaces the old cable lift; parks that have one keep it. In new parks, couples stroll hand in hand to the prettiest corners, wanderers are drawn to flowers, benches and shade, guests step round crowds and everyone walks at their own pace. Strollers don’t buy on impulse, so a garden earns visitors, not free sales.

🚡 New ride: the Gondola Lift. Lay it in the track editor like a coaster: a loop with two stations or more, cabins on the cable, and a booth and a line at every station. Guests ride it to cross the park or for the view. It is transport, not a coaster, and free in every park: Rides › 🚡 Transport
🚠 The old straight cable lift can no longer be built (parks that have one keep it). New Summit Peak games start with a Gondola Lift from the valley to the summit
🚶 In new parks, guests have a life of their own: couples and seniors stroll to the prettiest corners, wanderers are drawn down paths with flowers, benches and shade, guests in no hurry step round crowds, and each walks faster or slower by what they need. More guests come in pairs
🧺 Strollers don’t buy on impulse, so stalls take a little less in new parks; a garden brings visitors, a bare corner stays empty
