This lift gives Loon a similar arrangement to Stratton, where the "main" lift is a gondola with terrible capacity, so a detachable chairlift that doesn't go up as high ends up carrying most of the out of base traffic. I think the lower trails at the Octagon Base will see much more use now that there's a high speed quad serving them.
Such a needed improvement!! It will be interesting to see if the Seven Brothers Triple makes a return at this resort or a sister resort... This completely transforms the flow of this mountain for the better!
The drive has a new electric motor, gearbox, brake controls, service brake, tension controls and fine spacing system. The old APU diesel is gone but the old evacuation diesel was reused with new hydrostatic drive and coupling with the new gearbox. Lots of new stuff and it sounds very different.
This thing is flying!
This is such a good improvement. Now you don't need to take the 4-person gondola to get good lift speed!
This thing cruises!

Yes, the increased traffic on those trails was definitely visible already
Pretty good speed!
Loon is always good at running their lifts at (or close) to full speed!

The triple was sold to an adventure park somewhere in Quebec.
All the towers are numbered properly! I saw a video of this lift with the towers numbered improperly 😂
I think loon is still be attending to replace the gondola with a higher capacity 1
I don't know about that, trail capacity off the gondola is an issue
Who said that in flight path 2030 intro But still I don't know really
Now the tower tubes aren't green
Are these all-new UNI G terminals or are they just a skin (similar to Shedhorn 4's skin)?
Most likely a new outer shell. The insides are the old Kancamagus quad, just refurbished.
Did they put in a new motor as well? It sounds a lot different
I don't believe so but not sure
