This is really cool! I love how they still use the water tower and put an observation deck on the top. Looks like a nice little area too. That elevator has to be intentionally slow, but that is still cool to see this glass elevator put on this water water.
I like quirky places like this. In the middle of nowhere, and an observation tower with an awesome view. It also looks like it's in the middle of a neighborhood?? Bizarre!!
That house across the street though😂 Selling point is that it is directly across the street from a beautiful park with landscape and water features, a playground, and a giant glass elevator
While you’re here in Illinois I’d like to see you film some of the elevators at the hotels here in Decatur or the chateau in Bloomington if you’d like, I’m pretty sure they are the same fixtures as this elevator
I also wonder if they needed more torque on that elevator, maybe that's also why it needs to be slow. But hey, that's just a theory I had. In addition to taking in the view as well.
Oh yeah I almost forgot Since elevatours is all about being healthy we were walking up the spiral staircase to the top when we got up which is an interesting spiral staircase btw
@@stlelevators I suppose. There's an old Otis elevator here at the Westin Harbour Castle that is like this - very slow (maybe 200 FPM) for 38 stories and it's clearly for the view. I think the normal elevators are 800 FPM or so.
@@stlelevators Yes they do if cables snap or the brakes fail or other faulty mechanisms, they can also shoot upwards slamming into the top, I've heard in the past about these incidents!!

I’m pretty sure it is intentionally slow.
31-41 are the fastest glass elevators in the Marriott Atlanta

I found it by total accident on the maps the night before I came here. I love places like this too.
This was so awesome from the architecture of the tower and the glass elevator. Slow and awesome at same time
Was it expensive to visit or not
A whopping $2
Very nice for a glass elevator
Yes it is. It is just too slow.
Amazing Elevator.
I agree with you
It’s really cool, but way too slow.
That house across the street though😂 Selling point is that it is directly across the street from a beautiful park with landscape and water features, a playground, and a giant glass elevator
That’s cool
Are you sure you're not riding a supertall LULA? lol this thing could really use a speedup
Is that elevator traction or hydraulic?
Traction
This elevator is basically a glass LULA on steroids LOL!
I agree. It's super slow for a tall building.

If I get some time to go there, sure.
I wish this was in California near San Jose in 2021
Nice video of the day.❤🎉. 1:11 .

I’ve heard it is purposely slow.
PH is an interesting floor in a water tower
I thought the same thing.
It’s a Kone according to the floor indicator.
Yeah, he said it was a Long modded by Kone, so it is in fact a Kone.
Dang, that is very slow. Nice view though
Edit: I just noticed this, where’s the stairs?
On the side
@@stlelevatorsis it a emergency exit or can people use it any time?
This looks like it was a kone according to the indicator
It's a Kone mod.
Originally installed by Long and modernized by Kone.
I presume a traction?
A very slow traction.
Oh yeah I almost forgot
Since elevatours is all about being healthy we were walking up the spiral staircase to the top when we got up which is an interesting spiral staircase btw
Bro shut up stop spamming
They don’t let you walk the stairs. They only are available during an emergency.
Ouch that's painfully slow. Not sure what they were thinking when installing something that only goes 100 ft per minute
I think it was more of an “enjoy the view” kind of thing, but it’s really just annoying.

That must’ve be the whole point of the lift is to let people enjoy the views when they enter and leave
Yes it is.
Impossible how did you get in there because this is so cool
press the button and get in?
I paid $2 and rode up.
@mjrideselevators are you seeing this
I put this thing on 2x speed and it’s still unforgivingly slow
@diselducy are you seeing this
Imagine getting stuck halfway...
That would be so bad
Or worse, the elevator went into a free fall from top to bottom!!!
Elevators don’t fall….
@@stlelevators Yes they do if cables snap or the brakes fail or other faulty mechanisms, they can also shoot upwards slamming into the top, I've heard in the past about these incidents!!
It’s very rare for that to happen.
That’s gotta be 50-75 FPM
I'd say more like 100 given the timing
Can you host a barbecue here
Probably
I prefer a fast traction elevator
Same.
I wish this was faster
Almost 2 minutes to get to the top. That is long.
Yep
It is long. It also was a long
Long modded by kone door close works
Bruh you haven’t seen the video yet and plus stop stating the obvious

@@Elevatingtransportation678 Okay, hypocrite. 👍 I'd suggest you do the same.
Geez that is insanely slow
Yeah…
2 minutes one way? Way too slow.
Yeah…
Very slow elevator for how high it goes
Yep
Weird having a huge tower with a glass elevator in the middle of a residential community with houses.....looks out of place....
You have to admit it is cool though.

The slowest elevator I've seen for a 20 story building! I bet this thing only goes ≤200 fpm
It’s crazy how slow it is.
