This lift is one of many Riblet fixed quads at the Boyne Michigan resorts.Final two towers and the top terminal.Lift line.Lower line.The bottom terminal.Lift overview.Loading area and counterweight pit.
The Heron lifts Victor and Top Notch can be seen clearly at 12:25 and 16:06 in the video, respectively. It looks to me like Victor was as low to the ground as Top Notch was. The video also shows the McLouth Quad a couple of times for those of us who are Vault Drive Riblet fans.
You can tell this lift is a relocation because it has bullwheel unloading, unlike the other Riblets quads installed on the Mountain. I also think this lift will be replaced by the current Meadows quad when that lift is replaced.
This chair was relocated from somewhere, as the original Victor Chair was a double with lattice style towers.

It also looks like the Meadows Quad has the Riblet carriers already in 1985. How long did the original chairs last after 1964?
