I've built City and Docks before, and for some reason, this just doesn't look as impressive as either of those, even with more pieces.

It's all the empty space needed for the cable car to stand out. It makes it hollow for a gimmick, as there is also an elevator to get up a level. It also distracts the eyes from the really neat greebling used on the side of the bridge.

It looks great connected to Gardens. Only 4 pieces less than Rivendell 6163/6167 and 6 more "proper" minifgures but $130 less.

I agree that on its own it looks hollow because of the empty space dedicated to the cable car, but as pictured above I think that all balances out quite well once you connect it to the other sets. The empty space suddenly becomes much smaller of a % of the appearance and opens up some breathing room for what has been a series of really dense builds.
