[edit] Article title

This article should be entitled "surface conveyors", or "conveyor lift". Magic Carpet is a not a generic term, it is a brand name that is commonly, but not exclusively, used. In the uphill transportation industry, conveyor lift is a more accurate term.--Baoluo 07:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree. Magic Carpet is a brand name from Magic Carpet Ski Lift, Inc.Colorado USA. I prefer the lift conveyor.--Loubeau 02:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

They are other manufacturers. The description of the lift conveyor with vinyl is one type. We could find platic belt instead.--Loubeau 02:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

But what do you call it? At our ski area, it's called The Magic Carpet. http://www.timberlinelodge.com/ski_ride/snowboard_ski_school_brunos.php] I'm not sure what manufacturer made it; it could be the workshop made it (they fabricate a lot of the terrain park features). —EncMstr 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
