What should Meadows do with the old rope tow?

I want to open this up for suggestions - It looks like there is a good possibility we will be replacing the existing rope tow by the lodge with a conveyor lift (magic carpet thingy).  This means there is a perfectly functional rope tow that will probably end up in a warehouse for the next 20 years, barring someone with a vision and the intiative to figure out something better to do with it.

I have some ideas, but I don't want to constrain creative thoughts.  Anyone have a solution?

The rope tow wouldn't be long enough to take you all the way up rose city. you wouldn't be able to get a good run goin shipyard is the best place for it.

shipyard would be a great place for if if meadows put enough effort into it for it to even be considered a real park, it sucked all year last year

Yes. A whole lot of gaper traffic. They take easy rider to go to the zoo and off to skiers right of the zoo because it is seen as one step up from buttercup.

They should definetly get a longer rop and put it up by the jumps so you can lap all the time with out going on easyrider. it should go on the lookers right by the border cross course

I dunno, can't remember. It is going into storage, being sold or recycled for parts.
