Cable Car Rope RePLAYcement STEM Workshop

06.11.2021 - 07.11.2021

The Once in Five Years Special Rope Replacement Moment!

You are probably familiar with Ocean Park’s classic Cable Car, but what about the cable car rope replacement that happens only once in five years? Operating since 1977, our Cable Car is one of the oldest cable car systems in the world. To celebrate this special moment, we're launching our first Cable Car Rope RePLAYcement STEM Workshop, where kids aged 6 or above have the chance to visit the Cable Car back of house area with their parents, to learn about rope replacement from our French cable car specialist, and then head over to the workshop to understand the mechanism and even build a simple cable car system themselves—the dream experience for any curious little STEM fan!

3 Key Features of the Cable Car Rope RePLAYcement STEM Workshop:

1. A First-Hand Observation

Guided by a specialist, your visit to the Cable Car back of house area will allow you to observe the cable car system and clamps from a professional perspective, as well as a special moment that takes place only once every five years.

2. An Edutaining STEM Workshop

By building a simple cable car system at the STEM Workshop, you can gain insight into the physics of the system, techniques of cable splicing, and secrets of engineering, and unleash creativity by decorating your own cable car model!

3. A Rare Photo Opportunity

This memorable learning journey also includes an actual cable car ride, so you can really experience the workload and importance of the replacement project. What's more, you'll have the rare opportunity of taking a photo with the working site to show family and friends later, while telling them all about this amazing experience!

After attending the Cable Car Rope RePLAYcement STEM Workshop, participants will be receiving a certificate, marking the end of a fruitful journey!
