Funicular Trains Defy Gravity to Carry Skiers to Resort 🚞 How Did They Build That? | Smithsonian

The car free Swiss village of Stoos needed an advanced funicular rail system to take tourists up its incredibly steep slope. Their first challenge: excavating a series of tunnels upwards, utilizing a form of drilling originally used to create ventilation shafts in mines.

Six flags can get you up that mountain in 8.5 seconds. Just strap everyone in for blast off

Nè jamme da la terra a la montagna
No passo nc'è! No passo nc'è
Se vede Francia, Proceta e la Spagna
E io veco a tte! E io veco a tte
Tirato co li ffune, ditto 'nfatto
'Ncielo se va, 'ncielo se va
Se va comm' 'à lu viento a l'intrasatto
Guè, saglie sà! Guè, saglie sà
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà
Funiculì, funiculà!

only two years late and 30 million over budget? Sounds like a good deal to me.... litterally. Things here are always way worse then that hahaha 😂😅

I've seen YouTubers cover this far more extensively, and make it much more engaging. Guys that edit their video's in their bedrooms, ffs🤣
No wonder legacy tv programmes are losing footing.
