      This lift, Eagle Express, along with these others, were all built in 2001, which is the last year Doppelmayr built lifts with the “spacejet” terminal. For Europe & the rest of the world it seems the last spacejets were built in 2000.

        So in 2000, Doppelamyr CTEC offered 3 detachable terminals, the space jet, UNI-G, and the Stealth II

          No, in 2000, Doppelmayr CTEC did not exist yet.

      The wildcat express at wildcat in New Hampshire ran with gondola cabins during the summer before covid, I’m not sure if they still do that though.

    Kanc Quad at Loon was one of these and is still in operation as the Seven Brothers Quad but they dumped the space jet skin for a modern one.
