I haven’t been to Bretton Woods myself, but my impression based on watching multiple lift recordings, is that their detachables only run at about 800 ft/min.

That chair spacing looks closer to 1,800 pph than 2,400 pph.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but it feels like they run this really slow. Too slow to achieve design capacity.

That’s if it’s busy. It feels like they run them at 700fpm during the week or non peak weekends. They really need to start running their lifts faster.

saves on electricity and wear when not busy. Still faster than a fixed grip. So no big deal, right?
