Riding Down the World's Most Unusual Elevator at the St. Louis Gateway Arch

Yesterday we were going up, today we are going down... at what seems to be twice the speed. Follow me on:

Definitely a must ride when I make it to the US :)

Dang! I watched the video going up, and then I watched this! The elevator seems to go MUCH faster going down!

id end up having a panic attack in one of those

Could it be a winding drum

I think the counterweight was made too small. Then again, with all the bends and angles, I don't think they could put a full-sized one on there.

I see we are both having similar auto-focus issues

At ~3 minutes, the trip down is about one minute faster than the trip up.

@TheElevatorChannel
There is one (read about the system).
