The Ski Lift System is for up to three riders. This is the same systems used by the Lindens starting out at Voss sim. It takes riders across 3 full sims to ski down a giant snow hill. The system is very popular and easy to set up with an automatic cable placer that places the cables perfectly for you, even across multiple sims. A chair is always waiting for the next riders. Buildings are 17LI each, the chair is 17LI and one cable support tower is 16LI. Depending upon your Ski Lift layout, the land object usage will vary. The objects are Copy + Mod, Scripts are Copy Only.

Automatic Guided Tour Systems come with Rezzer, a Global Waypoints HUD and a programmable vehicle or poseball(s) which allows up to 9 notecard routes the owner creates using the powerful global waypoints HUD. The tour route can cross sim lines because it uses powerful global six digit waypoints which make the entire grid appear as one giant sim to the tour system.

The HUD Buttons include:
- Chat to riders while on tour to help show them where your sim or parcel attractions are
- Pause for station stops along your tour route
- Speed changes while in motion at any point along the tour route
- Full in-sim teleporting to any location within your sim instantly, while in motion - great for connecting skyboxes
- Play sound files to riders including voice narrated tours to add realism to your tour
- Tour route height offset to adjust for short or tall avatars - also nice for making a route 100m in the air while walking
- Tour route height force - for boat tours to force a flat route over the water while you fly over the water using the HUD
- Height lock for any location on route you want the waypoints to all be the same height - with unlock
- Free fall mode to drop the tour vehicle in freefall - great for "over the waterfall in a canoe" type of effects
- Vehicle route looping to endlessly loop on the tour route until the rider(s) stand up
- Animation changes to play on riders while on tour (Animation Tour system only)
- Spin and look at a particular location on the tour route (Observation Orb and Doom Buggy specific)

The Rezzer Menu includes:
- On / Off to turn the rezzer on or off for events or when desired
- Hide / Show tour use count hover text
- Hide / Show the rezzer base
- Record, to record the tour vehicle or poseball(s) aim rotation and position
- Reset to reset the rezzer script

Excellent system for my sim. It took a bit of practice, but with Johnny's generous assistance, I was able to get it up and running. Works terrific! Can't sing the praises loud enough.

Not just my review but ABSOLUTELY read the note card this creator includes. If you take it one step at a time, you will have complete success. If you screw it up the first couple times like I did, simply detach the HUD and start at the top of the note card again. It is easy, even for me.

I've never had success with any cable system of any kind in SL. You got this.. just be patient. SUPER IMPORTANT~ Stretch the note card out, like he suggests.. you will NOT be sorry.
This is the best written tutorial I have ever seen in any game. Seriously easy and this thing looks great!
