      This thing has lifting frames welded on it now.

        The rings are so the chair doesn’t bash again the tower same goes with the top and base of Rumsey.

    Also It turns out this isn’t Warm Springs, but Limelight, also from Sun Valley, it kept the name Limelight upon relocation, I talked to one of the mechanics here and he confirmed it is the former Limelight lift.

      Limelight was replaced by the upper part of Challenger.

          That’s where this chairlift was moved from in 1992.

    It seems like the tower halos weren’t reworked in the move, which has resulted in a low-tech solution:

    I’m 5’11” and had to duck pretty far.

      Interesting. Those halos are standard-issue Riblet guidage (kinda recall it being part #4251 but could be misremembering) and the chairs are long-bail versions. I don’t recall many issues with passengers hitting the halo. Chairs, however….

      I believe most old center pole Riblet’s you had to duck pretty far on one of the first towers.
