Series 5: 2. Cable Car and Viewing Tower
Join Maddie as she finds out how cable cars work and visits a viewing tower to see how it was made. We learn how cable cars don’t have engines inside and see all the different parts that work together. Maddie uses her special cameras to take us on a ride in the cable car and show us how the car moves along the cable as it passes over the support towers.\n\nMaddie then goes to the top of a high viewing tower, which is 170 metres tall and shaped like a sail on a boat. We discover the tower is built on a special platform with concrete columns that are constructed in the sea. Maddie uses her special camera as she climbs inside the hollow tower structure to show us how they bolt the legs of the tower together.\n\nFinally, Maddie travels to the very top, to the viewing platform with a strong glass floor, so we can see all the way down to the ground below our feet!
