Another resident suggests:

How about covering the windows during peak hours to discourage tourists from using the tram?

If only the Roosevelt Island Tram ride across the East River was this fast, the lines would be much smaller.

First Instagram Hyperlapse View Of Roosevelt Island Tram Ride - Wow That Was Quick

Image of Hyperlapse Logo From Instagram

Instagram announced today:

... Hyperlapse from Instagram, a new app to capture high-quality time lapse videos even while in motion.

Traditionally, time lapse videos depend on holding your phone or camera still while you film. Hyperlapse from Instagram features built-in stabilization technology that lets you create moving, handheld time lapses that result in a cinematic look, quality and feel—a feat that has previously only been possible with expensive equipment....

Here it is, the first #hyperlapse of the Roosevelt Island tram. @burritojustice @Rooseveltisland @RS_Flinn http://t.co/kkc8RSXLKD

Time Lapse Night and Day Video Of Winter Storm Herucles Seen From Roosevelt Island Balcony - Was Not Even Close To Being As Cold As It Is Today

It's absolutely freezing outside today in New York City. Hope you can limit your time outside and stay as warm as possible.

Here's a time lapse video of a Roosevelt Island Winter Day, January 3, viewed from a Rivercross balcony looking south towards the Queensboro Bridge.



The creator of the video, Radu O explains:

An 150x compressed time-lapse clip of a cold and very windy winter day (January 3, 2014, the first day of Winter Storm Hercules) as viewed from a camera attached to our balcony door, aiming South-East. You can clearly see the Eastern branch of the East River and Queesnboro Bridge (recently renamed Ed Koch, after the late NYC mayor) and, to the left, the Western extremity of Long Island, Long Island City. A full frame HD picture (1980x1200) was taken every 5 seconds, and the frame rate of the clip is 30 frames per second. In the lower left corner you can see the time stamp. The film covers the day between 06:16 (6:16AM) and 17:50 (5:50PM).

A Roosevelt Island Tram rider reports a very windy trip today.

So glad I got to ride the Roosevelt Island tram in 40 mph gusts today. I forgot what was it was like to fear public transportation.

Riding the Tram in 40 MPH wind gusts is not a normal experience. Neither is a time lapse view of the Tram and other assorted Roosevelt Island scenes. But, here you go

An odd and strange, yet somehow soothing day/night time lapse video of Upper East Side Manhattan, FDR Drive traffic and East River tide as seen from Roosevelt Island.

And an eerie nightime visit to Southpoint Park down the lantern lit path past the greenish glow of Renwick Ruins to Roosevelt Island's southern tip opening up to NYC skyline.
