This was a great attraction! And the near death experience described below......BS. How come this wasn't in the local ABQ newspaper? Or national news for that matter?

Near death experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/05/09
When we were about 8,000 feet up, the cable snapped. We were suspended there for over 7 hours until help arrived.
Took my Grandsons 10 & 8 and they enjoyed it very much. I'm not wild about heights, but everything rode so smooth it was hard to tell you were that high off the ground. Bring a jacket! It was 55 degs. at the bottom and 32 at the top with 13 mph winds.
I took a ride on the Tramway in July. It was really warm (hot but dry) in the valley so the change was welcome. With a temp of 100 degrees in the valley the temp on the mountain was around 54. I am moving to New Mexico. I hope they have a year long pass.

Rise above the Clouds
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/25/07
What a fun thing to do, we live here and do it several times a year. Restaurant at top is ok, good for a snack and drinks, but their overall food is only OK, used to be one of the best. View is what it is all about up here, watch a sunset but make reservations early as this books up fast. Longest tram ride in the world (in length, not time). Sweet views, a must do when coming to Albuquerque.
Great tram ride, takes about 15 minutes to get up, once you get up, if you don't want to hike, you can take the ski lift, its about 1 hour roundtrip, with great scenic view.

View is awesome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/01/07
Quick ride to the top of the mountian beats the long drive around the back of it. It's a great view--especially at night--nothing beats city lights. Also, great in the winter when you want to go skiing. Wear shorts to the terminal and change to ski gear at the top--it will be cold!
It was one of the greatest views that we have ever seen. The air was nice and crisp. We are glad we took the trip up right around 7:00p.m. for a nice dinner and a unforgetable SUNSET... We can't wait til we return...

Wonderful! Unless You Are Acrophopbic!

If heights do not bother you, this is a spectacular ride aboard the world's longest tramway. Once past it's only support tower between the base station (w/restaurant), and the station (w/restaurant) atop Sandia Peak at 10,000+ feet, you (literally) soar with the eagles for over a mile, with hundreds of feet below you to the western slopes ...
