Scratches, small marks, graffiti, thats what I would have thought there would be some of by the end of the season if anything. But then thats the same everywhere really - trains, buses, schools. Shouldn't really happen, but there is very little anyone can do.

I haven't really seen much damage to the sky ride in the past so there shouldn't be many problems and as long as Alton keep them maintained well then i'm sure they will look fine.

Wow that would be cool seeing them go up the motorway. I once saw thomas the tank engine go up the motorway on the back of a lorry.

Monorail style benching would be better for the Skyride cars really. It may not be as comfy, but it's probably more vandalism-safe.
Dave

it dosent need to be comfy really though does it... your only sat in there for a few minutes at most.

It would be nice for a bit of comfort though.
Especially after hours of walking about. its nice to sit down in comfort for a little while :)
Although i don't like cable cars so i don't go on them lol :lol:

Plus the daisy gondala last season looked cheap and tacky. it was just an inexpensive way of hidin gthe crap condition of the old gondalas, with these nice new shiney ones theres no need to do that. not yet anyway
