Worlds Longest Cable Car Ride is in Vietnam
Ba Na Cable Car Co. of Vietnam has built the world’s longest single-cable cable car, an impressive ride outside Da Nang that spans more than three miles.
The cable car links Vong Nguyet Hill and Ba Na mountain, two places that until last week were inaccessible to anyone unwilling to climb a winding mountain pass. The Guinness World Records state that the Ba Na system is the longest nonstop cable car ride (16,500 feet) and the greatest height differential between two cable car terminals (4,230 feet).
Apparently, as many as 1,500 people an hour can ride the cable car with the trip taking about 15 minutes (takes 55 minutes by car).
