Great idea, as long as the traveller doesn't get hung up on the cable.  Though I suspect it would be easy enough to bring out another boat to get the passengers off.  Then maybe they have a means of reeling the cable to one side or the other, to clear the jam (and replace the cable periodically).<br><br>But seems the boat could be more optimally designed for the purpose, to speed up the crossing.  But then again, this is more of a tourist attraction than a present day people mover, so speed isn't important.
