OK, some might be called "Romance" lifts ( ) while others are not so lucky, but do they generally go the same speed? I ask because some of them I think they are painfully slow, while others seem faster - though the mechanism etc seems to be the same and they mostly seem to be made by the same peeps (?). It may well just be me and the day I'm there, whether I'm in the need of some quick action or in a more chilled out mode. Anyone?
Time matters.
6:47 especially.

It is sometimes fun if you are in a large to group to have races to the top

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, some are faster than others. Some are very slow, some are painfully slow.
music is only good if you like it

Once read an article on a place where they had the fastest chair in North America. Somehow they cranked up the speed to 80kmh!!! The only place where it is faster going up than down.

Must have been some April fools day joke.

Romance lifts. What a silly name that is and so many places call them that. Silly.
