Iron Horse is one of four Heron-Poma doubles at Mary Jane. This tower is Yan, however.Towers 1-3.Counterweight.View up the line.Loading area from above.View back down the lift line.Iron Horse is one of four parallel lifts at Mary Jane, three of which are Heron-Poma doubles.Upper part of the line.Tower 20.Unloading ramp and lift shack.Top station with vault drive.Lower half of the line.
I think this lift, alongside Pony Express, should be replaced with a detachable lift from the Mary Jane Base to Sunspot. It would be effective in getting more people out of Mary Jane and better spreading them out around the mountain.
The profile of the first few towers out of the loading area kinda reminds me of a Riblet lift.

I think this lift useful for getting out of Mary Jane. I think a hsq can add more uphill capacity.

A high speed quad would certainly make access from Mary Jane back to the Winter Park area a bit quicker since one could then bypass Lunch Rock.
