They were detachable, all Carlevaro-Savio gondolas are and were in in their own building, the bottomed terminal still stands and I had two lift mechs show me around!
Will Wildcat ever expand into Thompson Brook? Most of the area is already within their SUP, and they last said they would do it in the early 2000s. Vail has the money to do it, but it is unknown if they have an interest. Peak seemingly did not.
Some date changes for your sheet: the gondola stopped operating in 1999 (not 1997 as listed), Catapult double stopped operating in 1987, and Catapult triple began operating in 1987.

Anybody know if wether the lynx double had bail or center pole chairs? The original double was center pole, so I am leaning toward that.

How did these old gondolas work? were they detachable or were they just slow enough that they could be loaded without coming off the line?

There is also a Cv-S gondola on Monte Tamaro in Italy I believe that has tire acceleration and deacceleration.
