There was a little trouble getting the car (up lift) started, but eventually we were on are way. Beautiful view of the city...now going back down.
Follow up - we waited in line to return only to be told 20 min. later that the down lift was broken and it will take 1:30 to 1:40 for the repair truck and 1hr to 1:30hr for the buses or we could get a transfer to the other lift a mile away or walk back down which was not advised. so we're having lunch at Micro Diner (more on that later) and wait for a bus.
