I was assuming Knoxville was the first location....those remaining original documents do not list it as either new or relocated at that time.

I just did some internet-sleuthing and found this: " Cableway 1995 National Coffee Park Quindío Department, Columbia Combination ride of Bronx Zoo and Knoxville World's Fair rides

(VonRoll Type 101)
On here: https://en.wikipedia...on_Roll_Holding

So.. looks like first install was at Knoxville World's Fair in 1982
2nd: Parque Nacional del Café, Columbia
3rd: ?? (or could be 2nd?)
