Chain or Elevator Lifts?

"For short hills the proven technology of chain lifts makes sense. For really tall hills elevator lifts have advantages in weight, steepness of lift hill resulting in lover cost, moving parts, and speed (=capacity)."

I never thought about how much an elevator lift can improve capacity. In Millennium Force's case, the elevator lift probably cuts almost an entire minute off of each cycle. That adds up to a lot of time over the course of a day.

I hpe they never put elevator lifts on woodys, it would take away from the ride.

As for steel Elevator lifts would be great.
