    Cedar Park Express ends rather close to where the mid-unload station used to be.

      Yes, that was a hydrostatic drive.

    I know that hydrostatic is popular for skyrides at amusement parks and fairs, but how many fixed grip on mountain skilifts utilized it? RIP Ghost.

      I’m also curious if there was a reason for it in this situation vs. an electric drive
