Description | Wikipedia: Technical specifications The Aero Car is suspended on six interlocking steel cables, each of which is 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter. The Aero Car is suspended between two Canadian points, though it crosses the Canadian and American borders four times on a full trip. The car crosses the border about 500 feet (150 m) from the starting point and runs through United States territory for about 200 feet (61 m), but riders need no immigration clearance. The car was originally open, but a roof has been added to all later designs. A board with the following text was attached to the cable car: „NIAGARA SPANISH AERO CAR The Niagara Spanish Aero Car was designed by Leonardo Torress Quevedo and represented a new type of aerial cable way that he called "transbordador". Officially opened on August 8, 1916, it is the only one of its kind in existence. The Niagara Parks Commission 1991“
