Angel's Flight

The TV said this morning that Angel’s Flight in Los Angeles is running again. I guess it’s time for a trip to Los Angeles.

I’ll have to walk over tommorow and check it out, good excuse to go get some “Tacos Peligroso” at Central Market :wink:

It took me by surprise when I heard it. I wonder if they are just working the bugs out. The tacos give us another reason to drive into the city!

Not sure what this is?

Here’s a link that will also take you to more on it.

Thanks Steve. If it is up and running, it’s a real “short” line but worth a visit if you’re in Los Angeles.

OK I can say for certain that as of today, It is NOT up and running… yet. The entry barriers are still in place ans the cars are still parked midway, doesnt look like it will be open anytime in the next couple weeks. Last I heard was that the operators are awaiting the final safety report prior to reopening, last reopening target date I heard was sometime in September but maybe as early as August.

Thanks for taking a look. The TV media, accurate as usual. And that comes from a person with 30 years in the media!
I hope you got to eat those tacos!

Apparently they are ready to reopen, but they are awaiting release of that final safety inspection report. So hopefully soon.

I have to go to Kaiser in Fontana often and there is a little place up the street that we always plan an early lunch for tacos!
Angel’s Flight looks ready to fly again. It’s been tooooooo long in coming. Thanks for the pictures.
