The first gondola lift at any Legoland park worldwide will open this summer at Legoland New York, located near the town of Goshen. The Leitner-Poma system will traverse the park with two stations and seven individually-themed gondolas carrying up to 10 passengers each. “There’s a lot to enjoy at Legoland New York, but it’s a big resort and our fans asked us for more ways to move easily from the upper and lower levels of the Park,” said divisional director Stephanie Johnson in a release. “We take our guests’ feedback seriously and the Minifigure Skyflyer gives them a way to do exactly that while igniting creativity, sparking imagination, and inspiring movement through disco and dance.”
Each Sigma cabin will feature a unique and colorful theme. “Guests can expect a fully immersive, interactive experience on the Minifigure Skyflyer from queuing to disembarking,” the park said. “Prior to boarding, guests can help “charge” the cable car batteries through hand-powered cranks then follow the rainbow road before reaching the boarding platform’s disco-themed dance floor.”
Britain-based Merlin Entertainments operates Legoland parks under license from the Lego Group of Denmark. The New York outpost opened in 2021 with a small number of attractions but has continued to grow. Gondola construction is already underway and the new ride is set to debut this summer. In the meantime, Legoland New York has partnered with Belleayre Mountain to offer a preview with two specially-wrapped Legoland gondolas now flying on the mountain’s Catskill Thunder Gondola.
Ha, i remember going to this place when i was pretty young, there was an area where you could build your own Lego cars and race them down a ramp, that was fun. I will have to visit again sometime.

why does the mockup image look like it’s using VR101 grips

It looks more like a 3S carriage. Just be glad they at least got the hangars facing the right way lol. It seems like half the renders you see of ski lifts have them facing into the tower so they’d crash into the cross arm and sheave trains.

the hangers look okay but the cabin doors are on the uphill side of the carriers. But I originally thought the article was referring to a new lego set based on the image 😆

The hangers are 3s and the tower is 1994-2012 Poma . Id want to see a colab with LP and legend to make a gondola set.
