The Chairlift arrived at Pleasurewood Hills in 1987 as "The Alpine Chairlift". The complete ride was delivered to the park at the beginning of the 1987 season from Holland with the exception of the cable, which came from Germany.

The operating equipment allows the cable to be driven at different speeds to suit weather conditions and volume of people. The ride is capable of carrying 94 people at a time in 47 chairs which each hold 2 people.

The Chairlift transports visitors from one end of the park to the other from Kite Flyer to Snake in the Grass or back in the opposite direction. Riders are treated to an overhead view of a number of attractions and even float slowly over the lake. Many would argue that it is quicker to walk the distance covered by the Charilift, but it does give you a good opportunity to see the park from a different angle, and take a load off your feet.
