Two Swiss companies had the engineering skills to build this cable car system up San Jacinto mountain. It takes 10 minutes at approx 20 mph for the two cars with rotating floors to transfer 80 passengers up and down simultaneously through 6,000 ft of elevation. Several rock outcrop formations had to be blasted away to provide clearance and some optimistic helicopter pads have been placed on rocks and on towers to handle maintenance and emergency evacuation! Make sure you swallow up and down to keep those ears popping!
