R.I.P. Von Roll VR 102

1976 - 2016, last one in it's original shape. What should we do about the modern ropeways honestly? We need to stop them!
We must go back in time(If that ever happens which it most likely never will) and bring our locally-produced jewellery back...

[@CBF1]

The Federal Transport Office and the Doppelmayr-Garaventa group must pay the price in the future for all of the hatred and extremism they have forced against wonderful locally-produced pieces of jewellery such as old Spielboden. All I ever got to see was the modern globalized piece of scrap that's there now.
It's a miracle that Chur has the VERY FIRST Von Roll VR102 but it lost A LOT of it's original parts when it left Flims-Laax-Falera. I'll still pay a visit to Chur though!
I've recently returned to Saas Fee to document all of the other great old ropeways of Saas Fee... Alpin Express, Metro Alpin, Langfluh, Felskinn, and Plattjen. I already documented the Hannigbahn back in 2018. Would love to personally OWN the Hannigbahn after it's replaced.
The old ropeways should've been brought to MY country(Great Britain) instead of being melted down. When will people realise that these old lifts are fun mechanically different amusement rides and works of art and not just "pUbLiC TraNsPoRT tHaT tHe BuNdEsAmT FuR VeRkeHr sHoUlD FoRce ExTREmIsM AgAINsT fOr CoRpoRaTE BEnEfIt"?
Have you also done the Komari Vizka chairlift in Krupka? I highly doubt you've seen the Combe des Juments chairlift in La Clusaz, Aravis, France... That chairlift is THE JEWEL OF ALL JEWELS, it's THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHAIRLIFT EVER BUILT!!! A uniquity as well as it's the only Poma Type S detachable chairlift left in existence of only 10 - 11 produced, with more than 40 Poma Type S gondola lifts made from 1966(Val D'Isere, La Daille) until 1983(Argentina)!
I highly recommend you see both of those lifts(Komari Vizka and Combe des Juments), along with those in Saarbrucken and Dortmund... I don't call the shots on what you film though!

Well, there are a few nice looking modern ropeways as well but yes, I totally agree that you can´t compare them to the older ones. Today quite many lifts don´t only look very similar but also rather cheap in term of their station buildings. It´s more about getting to the mountains in the quickest possible way than about an experience. Time changes I suppose... ;-) However, I´d like to see some more heritage lifts, especially when it comes to gondolas.

[@CBF1]

@@jungfraumedia Totally, those modern complicated pieces of scrap aren't going to go on for anywhere near as long as the old ones have without requiring seriously difficult maintenance thanks to how many more parts they have compared to the old lifts from before the standardization was imposed.
When it comes to times changing... Blame the manufacturers for it. It's their tyranny again, they are the ones who make the crappy newer lifts that are bigger and faster, therefore they are the ones who impose the rules and totalitarian regulations...
Old lifts are already fast. When will people realise that the old lifts are more than just "OuTDateD PuBlIc TraNsPoRT"?
Pretty sure people will be as toxic and as mad for efficiency as to replace ALL ropeways for teleporters if they become a thing.
We must save what's left. We must save the 4 Giovanolas, the Kanzeli Von Roll VR102 lift, the old Poma gondola lifts in France, etc... the old Staedeli lifts, the old Garaventa and other old Von Roll lifts, all of the locally produced lifts, we need to take out of the ski resorts and bring into new locations...
Humans have saved antique American carousels, old steam locomotives and other historical buildings, etc... No reason why the same can't be done with ski lifts!
We must form our own organization that'll ultimately preserve these lifts permanently for all generations to come.

[@CBF1]

@@jungfraumedia When I come back to this comment again... Talk about getting to mountains fast? Pah. Should old lifts only be in mountain regions and nowhere else when they can be built anywhere?
I think not, because I'm a strong believer in what is physically possible, and not what's economically or profitably possible.
Look at Dortmund, Koln, London, Alton Towers, Saarbrucken, Llandudno, Dudley Zoo, etc.
They're not in mountain regions. I personally think people would know more that old lifts are more than outdated public transport if the old lifts were globally widespread and not just built in mountain regions which are, in no ways, shapes, and forms, globally widespread.
That's why cars and locomotives were preserved. They're everywhere, so much morepeople will understand the appeal to enthusiasts that old locomotives and cars have. And also cars weren't owned by tyrannical corporate businessmen now where they?

Have you filmed before 2002 Châble-Verbier-Ruinettes-Attelas from Giovanola !?

[@jungfraumedia]

Unfortunately I didn´t. I´ve been there for the first time in 2004. I was using DVCAM equipment back then but I´m not sure if I took it with me that day. I don´t have the original tapes anymore but if I did there would be some copies somewhere in the cellar, although on VHS. Haven´t gone through them yet as there are many as well. :D

[@GondelbahnMonde]

@@jungfraumedia Because before 2002 you had this really long gondola and later to 2006 only the last part Attelas

@@jungfraumedia Did you ever get any footage of the Attelas III gondola lift?

[@jungfraumedia]

@@CBF1 Yes, I think I did but sold the camera including the tapes of which I thought I´d backuped beforehand. I´m not really sure I did. I´d still need to check the old tapes which are stored in my basement. :)
