That’s a leftover tower that was recycled from either Spud Mountain (replaced by the Purgatory Village Express) or Grizzly Peak (replaced by the Hermosa Park Express).

I rode this lift yesterday and today and in 2015. I even put down the safety bar on this lift and Columbine.

Not sure what I meant by ‘falcon’ at the time…
Delta terminals are very interesting (in my opinion). I’ve always had a soft spot for them…
