Last year, for much of the season, they were running 1100. The year before, I think this was only running this 700-800, and Sensation 900. I don’t know why Stowe historically ran this so slow, but they run full speed now.

Just an FYI, both this lift and Sensation definitely do not run at 1100 fpm. They are more like 700. They both go really slow for detachables.

When I was there back in 2015, they were running at around 1000. Not sure why they were so slow when you were there.
