We descended the mountain a little after 1:00 PM. The queue lasted an hour and a half, a bit less than expected, but the line was winding and endless, and quite agonizing. The weather was scorching, and even with the misting, it was still unbearable. Each carriage only held six people, so there was no rush. There's an emergency downhill route below the Golden Summit that takes you to the cable car in 30 minutes, saving a lot of time.
