Missing something?[edit]
I googled images trying to figure out how this works, because I can't figure it out from the text. The way it's described, each "line" of gondolas would have to make both an up trip, and a down trip before picking up more passengers, rather than having an "up" line and a "down" line like on a normal lift system. Seems like you'd want a single "down" line and a single "up" line. That wouldn't make much sense, however, because you'd have to be limited to only a single gondola per line, which could only travel between the top and bottom pulleys, which is not very efficient (I assume that, because that's how it appears in the diagrams, and if if you simply had two sets of pulleys, each bringing gondolas up and then down, you'd just have a dual conventional lift system. I mean, if one pulley set brings up full cars and returns emptys, and the other pulley set only brings full cars down and then hauls the emptys back up, isn't that basically just using two normal lifts side by side, one working to haul up, the other working to haul down? If that is the explanation, then that would be a much clearer way to phrase it on the main page, so people could understand it better. From a couple of the diagram, it appears that the system works by disconnecting the cars at the top of the "up" pulley, and then reconnecting them to the the "down" pulley, thus having two independent pulley systems working on one set of cars. Either way, that seems like an important bit of information to leave out of the article. It just doesn't sufficiently explain it as it stands.
I also imagine that the name "funifor" is derived from the term "funicular", which would also seem to bear mentioning..45Colt 10:44, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
