    On the Set

    The new way to see Portland sights!

    Posted by Lance on May 26th, 2007

    Just a quick shout out to the Portland Aerial Tram! I went up for the first time yesterday and am sold. It’s no Space Mountain mind you, but I think it’s a really cool addition to the city. Something I definitely have to work into my movie. One step closer to that Jetsons’ city of the future…

    I have been sending a bunch of the hotel’s guests there, it’s so easy to get to from the Hotel DeLuxe in Downtown Portland. Just a short walk down Yamhill to 11th and then 1 block south to Taylor and catch the Portland Streetcar. The streetcar will take you all the way down to the South Waterfront where you can catch that crazy aerial tram ride.

    If you haven’t ridden it, it’s worth the trip. Stuff of interest:

    Cost: $4 round trip
    Duration: 3 minutes each way
    Length: 3,300 feet
    Speed: A leisurely 22 mph
    Hours: M-F 6 a.m.-10 p.m., Sat 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sun 1 p.m.-5 p.m. (May 20-Sept. 16 only)
    Frequency: Every 5 mins (last one goes from the lower terminal 15 mins before closing)

    For more info, visit their web site (like I just did…): http://www.portlandtram.org/

    Keep reaching for the stars!
