This was a relocated lift, formerly the Little John chair, that ran up between North & South Challenger.
It was moved to its current location as a part of the North Peak expansion in either 1992 or 1993.
Lift is somewhere around ~4500 ft long, and it ride time is somewhere around 10-11 minutes. With stops due to misloads it can easily be a 14+ minute ride.
Long fixed grip by Midwest standards, but not unreasonable out east or west.

Did Riblet ever make a center-pole triple chair?

did anyone? I don’t think a center pole 3 seater would balance well

Doppelmayr did. A few still survive in Canada (Mont St. Bruno, QC, Harper Mountain, BC, Fortress Mountain, AB)

31 towers? How long is this lift? Must take forever to ride.
