back in the day, our mountain had two special gondolas (out of like 140):
one was painted on the outside with a summer mountain scene (green meadow, a few cows standing around, "an old cabin made of earth n wood" and a blue small river)
the other one was just like the other but had a simple "VIP"-print on the front, as well as a few silver stars all over.
i dont think they are used now or were in use last year, but when they were around and you were able to get in one of the two it certainly made your day...
"WAIT, WAIT, i saw the coloured one before we went into the station, it gotta be here in a minute", well, so we waited, despite the fact that there was no row infront of us
