    This lift is having problems it’s been closed five days in the year due to something. The old lift was more reliable

      That’s typically how it is, fixed grips have less that can go wrong, 5 days is a lot though, that’s surprising.

  2. This is the only high speed quad on Solitude with footrests (the 2008 high speed quads and Eagle Express not having even armrests).

    The double chairlift that used to run to the summit started much higher and on a different line, at the junction of Zip a Dee, Broadway and Dynamite, and could only be reached via the Sunrise lift. The current quad starts lower down at the junction of Polaris and Dynamite, enabling it to be accessed from the Apex Express (thanks to a blue connector trail being added).
