  • With two guest appearances! Alpaljl and ElevationStationProductions are also along for the ride!
    And what a ride! This may be the most dramatic elevator ride I've been on yet! The noises, the shakes, this thing really feels like a death trap.
    More videos from LA with Alpaljl are coming, but this is the only one with ESP.

      The transition from the "no" to the death trappiness of this elevator almost made the video feel like the origin story of a supervillain called Schindler. Hilariously enough, I honestly couldn't help but compare alpalJL to Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars Episode III in my head! 😂

  • @EvergreenElevators
    @EvergreenElevators Год назад +1

    VERY late comment to an old video, I know. But I used to constantly rewatch this video out of fascination!
    I think the cause of this issue is lack of oil/lubricant on the hydraulic piston. I experienced severe rumbling on an older MontgomeryKONE hydro before, and it acted similarly to this.
    The scraping when leveling going up points to my notion of the cause. A lot of people claim it's a guide rail or guide wheels/rollers, but the squeaking being caused by that just doesn't make sense to me.
    Still very bizarre, but it is very unfortunate we lost this store out of relevancy. I would've loved to ride this if this store was still open.

  • @upanddownadventures
    @upanddownadventures 8 лет назад +5

    This reminds me of the parking garage elevators at Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY when they were running badly! Those might have been worse though. I wonder if this elevator will still be this way next time I go to this area, but I assume it will get fixed.
    2:30 Would it have ran with the hoistway doors open that far? I don't think they should be able to open that far.

    • @alpaljl

      No, the one I am talking about is a different one. There is also a gated elevator at Glorietta Bay Inn, but I think it only serves 1 room (I asked for permission to ride it, and they said that someone was staying in that room, but if I go there when no one is staying in that room, then they would show me the elevator). Another gated elevator (this one has been filmed before) is at the Ramada Gaslamp in San Diego. The Plaza Hotel in San Diego has a manually-controlled Otis elevator, but another elevator enthusiast I think was told to leave the building when he went there (it is not a hotel, it is an apartment building).

    And by the way, I found a Schindler elevator that broke the stereotype of the door close button not working on it. It's at this new apartment building I'm staying at for a few months. Brand new building, and the door close button actually works on the Schindler 330 YAY elevator they have there. Being that it's new, it runs very well. You really have to give the floor buttons a good press though. Otherwise, it's a nice elevator.

      +thewildeeper I rode one today that had a working door close button... But it only works after a certain amount of time. Like if the door has been open for over 5 seconds, the door close button will work. If the door has been open for less than that amount if time, the button is disabled to allow slow folks to enter.
