This lift spins at a slow enough speed for easy loading and has level boarding for ADA accessibility, yet I have never witnessed a gondola stop so many times due to people being unable to load. Part of it may have been the operator being cautious and preemptively stopping the lift for passengers he thought would struggle to board, but I rode this lift 3 times a couple weeks ago and it stopped multiple times on each trip.

Doppelmayr calls it an Access Control Barrier or ACB. If a rider hits it the lift stops.
