I once built a Lego cable car.
I used fishing wire, attached to a technics based pulley system in my bedroom on the third floor of my rents house, and the bird table at the bottom of the garden. It was about 20 metres long in all.

I was about to build a second, in order to re-enact a certain scene from 'Where Eagles Dare' (most of my creations were based on the film i'd just watched) but our elderly gardener Mr Milton pottered into the existing line and nearly garroted himself.

So that was that.
