    This probably runs very slow because of the hydrostatic drive.

      Says 450 FPM in the stats which isn’t bad given that 500 FPM is about as fast as most mountains will run a fixed grip. But with its age and other factors they may run it slower.

        I thought that because those drives are common on lifts at parks and fairs.
