Cape Point funicular closes for upgrade
The popular Flying Dutchman funicular at Cape Point in the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) will suspend its operations for three months; however, tourists will not be inconvenienced as there will be a temporary bus service put in place.
The existing funicular will cease operation on January 18, 2010. A new, improved Flying Dutchman will put the “fun” back into “fun-icular” when it reopens for business on April 24, 2010, well ahead of an expected influx of tourists arriving in Cape Town for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.
The current funicular – the only commercial operation of its kind in Africa – has been ferrying tourists up a steep incline from the bottom station to the old lighthouse for the past 13 years.
