I remember riding this with my mom and my mom's Japanese friend when we lived in Chicago, it ran smooth at first but when it almost reached to street level it started to bump and scared the shit out of us.
I rode this earlier in March of this year. Scared me to even attempt to ride it until later, and that was a mistake. AFAIK the elevator’s still in awful condition.
OMG Sam and Ronin, your reactions in this video just had me dying laughing so hard! And LOL at 1:18. 😂😂😂 That was just beyond lovely with that EPIC scraping sound!
Well, it's an old, twisted up gimpy relic that still gets the job done. I'm an old, twisted up gimpy relic that still gets the job done. I guess I respect this elevator...
Transit elevators always suck. But this one is so bad I laughed my way through this. Therefore this elevator needs either or a complete modernization or a replacement, whatever they choose to do.
The Fox 32 Channel News Studio is on the first level on the left, the Metra Electric South Water Train Station on the lower level. You could take the Millennium, Randoph ramp on the Southside of the train station up instead of the South Water Elevator. There are restaurants and other places to go to. Plus the South Shore Line to Southbend Indiana, The Chicago Ped Way. You could walk the Chicago Ped Way to the CTA L System. The Chicago Ped Way is useful it is connected to many buildings underground, in the Summer when it gets hot out, it can be used with Air Conditioning to keep cool. In the Winter the Chicago Ped Way can be used when days are very cold out and snowy.
The elevator sounds like it is of the Hydraulic type as opposed to a Traction elevator. It also looks like it is very poorly maintained. I was an elevator mechanic for a few years, and yes I can see why they titled this video as the worst ever. It sounds like it is loose and its guide rails and rollers are totally worn out. You could hear the car skidding on the shaft walls. When that guy stuck his finger he could have easily gotten shocket. He pushed a broken momentary contact switch. If he would have touched the two switch conductors, the shock would have floored him.
Not to mention the indicator is backwards. S for Platform level and P for Street level. Least they replaced that tacky light but still looks ugly on the inside.
OMFG..... This thing looks like fun!!!! They better not mod this, I don't care how bad this is, but whenever I get the chance to come to Chicago, you bet my ass I'm riding this LOL!!!
I don’t know but it was super unsatisfying the beeps on the elevator were a cringe buzz and the elevator is creaking so much I couldn’t stand it i think this elevators were made in the 60s and 70s or something otherwise I didn’t want to go on it again and the others also hate it so thats why that elevator is better than the hotel one
It was 8 years ago. But i think they scraped that old funky noisy elevator and get a modern one that sounds good and less funky and not having that horrible buzzing sound I don’t blame the hotel manager that much but i blame the people who made it
This thing needs to be completely modernized. The motor is cool. I can't believe there is just one light and it's hanging. It looks like it's going to fall.
And also the worst part is most elevator filmers will first complain that the elevator is crappy and then when it gets a mod or they fix it up they complain that its fixed its like they have no common sense at all
Yay... The worst elevator I have seen in all of 2022 is at Summerlin Hospital parking garage (4-story), one of the 3 elevators runs like a piece of Sh!t and is vandalized too.
Please don't tell me they used that sodium light that I be used at the fuel islands at gas stations 🤦🏾♂️? This elevator definitely need a major renovation
If anything this is the worst elevator in the world, I mean you have a crappy orange outdoor light AT LEAST MAKE THAT AN LED! Hanging Emergency Light. Burnt out ceiling lights. Far Beyond Poorly Maintained. Sounds like it’s low on oil going down. Has no reason to even exist..
I really wish I didn’t ride this earlier in March. That was a mistake. It was (and maybe still is) in even worse condition than in this video although the smell is gone and the light color was changed.
You haven't seen the worst elevator in the city of Chicago unless you saw the elevators in Sports Authority before it closed. One of the elevators was a black pit of doom, the other had 1/8th of its inner door missing.

This is the worst in Chicago? Literally any NYCHA elevator is much much worse. At least this one gets you to the floor and as an added bonus there's no urine on the floor
Pretty mess this elevator... Hey, you have to becareful to go there in the elevator, mate. What the hell purpose to know this service needs to be fixtures elevator? How not safe to see that elevator gone to spoiled like this!... (Jeez, almighty, how happen this elevator gone be an accident thought is!) 😨

Whoever maintains this thing must have given up a long time ago...
Is there even a safety certificate printed on the elevator?
This is the reason why elevator modernizations exist
So true!
But modernizations mostly aren’t done right and make the elevator Malfunction more than it would In its trashy state

I’m laughing at the fact there’s a high pressure sodium light in an elevator
Omg this thing is a royal piece of sh!t! I bet it’s 10x more fun in person!
I remember riding this with my mom and my mom's Japanese friend when we lived in Chicago, it ran smooth at first but when it almost reached to street level it started to bump and scared the shit out of us.
Was the lighting different or was it the same light as the one in this video?
I rode this earlier in March of this year. Scared me to even attempt to ride it until later, and that was a mistake. AFAIK the elevator’s still in awful condition.
1:17 That COULD NOT HAVE MORE LOUD!
People in elevator: steps inside.
Elevator: time to have some fun.
Still an elevator that gets the job done
1:18: Wow. That thing is scraping so bad lol

Dana Danarosana you make a good point!
Such an underrated comment, my friend!
It may be slow, but it still works. New and improved doesn’t always mean it’s better. Sometimes old things last way longer than new
Runs bad + Vandalism = 100% worst elevator in Chicago.
Me: Ok I’ll take the steps.
In a train station in Chicago. What do you expect?
I remember seeing a video of this one awhile ago, thanks for getting an update. 😂
Yeah this elevator needs quite a bit of help.
That elevator is messed up. That thing belongs in a horror movie.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The elevator showed F because it wants it’s respects to be paid.
THIS NEEDS REPLACING
This elevator looks and sounds scary!

I feel like Metra isn’t good at maintaining things that doesn’t involve their trains. Especially on their electric side. Time to increases fares.
Chippo lol
I like the sound at 1:18 😂
*DEAR NEPTUNE!*
You’re playing a dangerous game getting on that elevator lmao
Ha!
Death trap but with epic motor
Why the lights on the call buttons works, but on the inside floors doesn't? Are they dead?
Probably, yeah
This elevator is very similar to some of the MBTA subway elevators... they work like crap.
haven't really used them but have heard stories.
This elevator is completely cursed.
OMFG..... This thing looks like fun!!!! They better not mod this, I don't care how bad this is, but whenever I get the chance to come to Chicago, you bet my ass I'm riding this LOL!!!
LOL Julien!! 😂😂😂
SAME!
These guys are begging for a Darwin award.
That needs a mod.
10 out of 10 I guarantee you this elevator is better than our hotel elevator
Really? What hotel is it haha

Oh I did
