I've always found it odd that these lifts don't open up to the roof car park - it's quite a bad design choice to have the main set of lifts not serve all floors as one would expect.
Here's a possible theory, though I don't know how likely it is to apply here. Anyway, way back when a new local shopping mall was being built in the Netherlands. All the stores would be at street level and there would be an underground parking garage. The supermarket (Albert Heijn, largest in NL) wanted to have an elevator from the parking garage straight into their store. However the other stores disliked the idea of that elevator dumping all their potential customers into the large supermarket. The other stores got their way and the shopping mall has an elevator that opens into the street between stores. Perhaps something similar was the case with this mall, where some stores didn't want the elevator to allow foot traffic to bypass their storefronts. They just built the elevator as originally planned anyway, maybe with the idea that this way they'd have the option later on to relatively cheaply have the elevator service the parking as well.
Okay, so I’ve seen this video previously and I finally have a story to tell! ~ Dunno whether anyone or Beno will see this but yeah: I was in the Pentagon Shopping Centre today, which is a sick Shopping Outlet in terms of design; In the glass lifts, I was on Underground Car Park (Level 2), a customer got out, and I then jumped in. The lift said “Going up”, but I was very sure that as soon as I pressed “G”, for ground, it would then say “Going down”, but NO, the lift went actually went up, I GOT A FREE RIDE UP THERE!! Sadly, it didn’t go to the Maintenance Floor (L4), but it was fun having a free ride up to the Security Floor! 😬😅😁
90's lifts, eh? I seem to remember on Basildon's Eastgate centre, there was a lift, 80's-90's that didn't seem to use cables but had a hydraulic ram to push the lift up from the bottom.. anyone confirm this?
I felt damn nervous when you got to the 4th floor and thought what if you couldn't get back in the lift if the doors shut behind you ... luckily that didn't happen !! :)
I don't know if all your lift videos make me even more scared of them or less scared lol - I'm super scared the cables would snap & it would fall or that I'd get caught between two floors/the door
Elevators/lifts have a redundant amount of cables, if one snaps or breaks the rest are able to hold the lift (I think systems like those are designed to hold the cage with only 1 cable still intact, movies try to make us believe otherwise ;). Should the last cable snap there are brakes to keep the cage in place (probably by some sensors that sense an overspeed indication in the cage going down, or up without having send a lift-up or lift-down command.) If lifts are maintained properly, their redundant systems can make them pretty safe ;). That said, a hydraulic lift (booooring :P) in the building where my voluntary job is situated, has had the habit of getting stuck in the past quite a lot of times (probably as a result of not being maintained regularly after the local government had sold the building) and whenever we have to send cargo (it's a regular elevator for peopl, but we have to ship equipment up and down every now and then) up or down I usually press the button for the second floor (or Ground) and let it go get there without me in it :P.
If you look closely there is a dehydrated, mummified remains of the last person who went up to floor 4, got off and got stuck!😳 I like how Beno figured this out and wouldn't take his foot out from between the lift doors, also he panicked when it was called down and was closing it's doors! 😁
I randomly found these videos and I dont really understand whats going on but its kinda interesting
Exactly the same here
girl same
Same

You were lucky that there was no one up there!

Hopefully someday they would change their mind.

beno I just had a thought! Technically if they opened up the 4th floor, people could safety break the lift at the 3rd floor.
This kind of behaviour causes the system to send Agents after you man, be careful aye.
Will Marsden doesn’t really do anything tho
0:40 Second floor!
Sooooo how did you have the keys to make it go up?
Elevators are keyed alike based on manufacturer and location, so it's not too much trouble to find the keys online

if their was a person their(late reply) what did she/he said?
yt just recommended yout videos. I loved it!
2:43 fourth floor
2:30 - So that's the "Teacher's Office".
On a Disney cruise they have glass elevators going bottom to top but only 3 floors were part of the atrium the rest was a tunnel, it's pretty cool.
there was no tunnel in the KONE glass lifts (i liked the KONE normal lfts )
"Lift going up" NOOOOOOOOO! 😁
He said "nooooo" when the lift was going down, not up
3 floor service room
Seems weird to me that you can't get to the lift from the car park on level 4, if the lift already goes up there and that.
I live there that is in Chatham,Kent and the shopping centre is called The Pentagon
NICE! Finally you did go up there! Was it as spectacular as you expected it to be? :P
The photos at the start of the video put me in mind of that now derelict building that was in the 1980s film commando when Arnold fights the cops
ALS lift voice is awesome!
Did you use this lift as inspiration for your escape the shopping centre game?
1:38 Going down
Youre an absolute madlad 😆😆
To access the 3rd floor of the Pentagon Shopping Centre in Chatham, I count surf on top of a lift.
1:38 beno:This is the third floor
The elevator: doOrs cLosIng lOl
(MMOG) Why can't you elevator surf up to level 4?
Ahaha and i lov ur voice its kinda funny xD ;)
Awesome stuff.
Ahhh - The good ole' Pentagon. Used to love the fact that when it rained the water used to piss out of the columns holding the roof!
Hehe the dude with the most liftstuff on YT i think, still
+Beno where was this?
Excellent. That's rather strange how the floor is hidden like that.
I guess they don’t want people going up there.
I've been up in that tunnel before because a staff member had to go up.
90's lifts, eh? I seem to remember on Basildon's Eastgate centre, there was a lift, 80's-90's that didn't seem to use cables but had a hydraulic ram to push the lift up from the bottom.. anyone confirm this?
might have maybe been a bennie? im by no means an expert on lifts but......
The grand reveal: Quavers.
I felt damn nervous when you got to the 4th floor and thought what if you couldn't get back in the lift if the doors shut behind you ... luckily that didn't happen !! :)

3rd floor is a service area, but it is locked.
I thought a little girl spotted that you were going to the 3rd and 4th floor!
"Doors Closing...lift going down"
Me:THESE STUPID PEOPLE STOP CALLING THE LIFT.
Why would there be a 3rd floor
It is elevator Voiceover same Skyscraper’s Beno.
Do you ever get busted?
How many times have you been caught doing this? This seems awfully risky. A chargeable offence even.
+Jim Beytien It is not a chargeable offence. I have only been caught once. The police had no choice but to let be go as it is a civil offence.
He didn't get off the lift, so wasn't exactly trespassing

She is saying "closink" and "openink", my local shopping centre has lifts with her. It's a chav ting innit.
What year was this shopping centre built?
Wikipedia says "Opening date: 1975".
@@mumboking no it was 1960
