Description

BACK VIEW of the Stadium FUNICULAR Getting to the top of the tower is half the fun! Guests ride a one-of-a-kind funicular that ascends the exterior of the tower, so the view begins from the time you enter the vehicle until you once again arrive safely at the station. According to published statistics, during peak tourist season, the funicular - which travels 2.8 meters per second (about 6 miles per hour) - makes approximately a hundred return trips each day along 266 meters (872 feet) of rail. Remarkably, each ascension takes less than 2 minutes. The funicular has 2 levels and can carry 80 passengers at a time. Given time to load and unload, that means more than 500 people can ride each hour. Furthermore, this is the only funicular that works on a curved structure, allowing the vehicle to stay upright despite the incline. Have a Wonderful Weekend Merci - Thanks M a g i k

tu pourrais quand même continuer à écrire en français. un autre détail...même le funiculaire de Montmartre reste en station verticale, sinon les voyageurs se retrouveraient sur le plafond.
