People who want to move around downtown Denver could glide in gondola cabins 30 feet above ground if the city were to embrace a businessman’s $350 million plan.

    And this is where a quick video review of gondola systems from Wendover is useful.

    TLDR is they can work on a cost effectiveness stand point, especially in hilly environs, however they lack an ability to scale passengers up.

    On it’s face, I’m failing to see the logic of this apart from a tourist view. Surges for events (Mile High, Coors, etc) and the existing infrastructure which could be expanded makes me wonder if there aren’t better options.

    I saw the Gondola design at Union Station. Uh, what is the point of this?
