Lower station with grip maintenance bay and parking rail.Leaving the bottom station.Riding up the line.Upper lift line.Arriving at the drive.Unloading zone.Top terminal and breakover towers.Uni terminal underskin. Only a few customers ordered it with the outer walkway.Lift line near the summit.Lower station from above.Arrival side of the return.
Made my first visit to Keystone today, enjoyed it a lot. At the top of this chair I was surprised by how quickly and jerkily it turned out of the unloading area. A guy wiped out coming off the chair in front of me, and then sitting on the outside seat, I nearly got hooked by chair as it moved really quickly into the turn. I saw another person spill unloading a chair or two later. I was surprised to see that, seems like a real risk to throughput and not what you’re expecting from a famously family-friendly resort. Would shifting the unloading line/platform back away from the turn help relieve this issue?
It looks like a short version top terminal. Green Valley at Crystal is the same and really you have to hurry to clear getting flattened by the chair swinging around the contour. I’ve been bumped a few times by it.
Shifting the platform may help, but a lot of HSQ have jerky unloads. Now I am suprised that it turns that quick. That is something that needs to be fixed.
Kinda interesting that the Santiago Express’s UNI terminals got the outer walkway and the Summit Express’s didn’t.

North Peak isn’t really a “family friendly” area as it’s mostly black runs with a few blues.

This chair really zips along! Has a faster feel than the others somehow.

I hope Keystone upgrades this to HSS, as its lines have been HUGE since the Bergman Bowl expansion

Then again, maybe they should just add more chairs to upgrade capacity, as the top probably doesn’t have enough land area
