If that is the building which used to be part of Leicester Polytechnic (subsequently De Montfort University) then I used to ride that paternoster twice daily for two years.
It doesn’t stop...or cut you in half. Just wait a moment and you come down the other side, and still right side up! You will get a brief sight of the chain that the whole system runs on, DON’T TOUCH.
The trick was to do a handstand so you reappeared upside down, or just scream! And that was in '73, 46 years ago!!!
I don't want to worry you, but you do realise you're now in an alternate universe? :))
1:11 dont sp00k me like that m8
wow, so you don't get chewed up and ripped apart in the gears, cool
Eh? why would you?
Overriden both ways is scary especially when you go Down and then it rotates to the other side
You've just taken me back 40 years!
I did my MA in archaeology at the top of the Attenborough Tower. So many good memories of using the Paternoster!
Ah, that brings back memories. We had one in the James Went building at Leicester Polytechnic when I was there some 36 years ago. Great fun to ride!
Flashlight please for the over the top.
I was too scared to open my eyes when I rode it in 2011. Finally seeing what was up there 12 years later.

that elevator gives me pure anxiety
You should have done what I did.... Go over the top and come back down doing a handstand!
Safer than any fairground ride
Oh man, I remember doing this when I was there 1993. :)
Ah... i did the same 30 years ago in the same one. Great things.
That paternoster goes to Narnia
Wow! If that’s not sped up, it’s the fastest paternoster I have ever seen!
Its completely safe to override. I see no reason why the h&s officer would be there.
Good old days
We used to have so much fun in them. Once 3 of us got on in one cabin and it froze midway and security had to pull my friend out
I always imagined then turning upside down at the top.
What happens if you get stuck between the lift and the floor? Does it stop or will it cut you in half?
Did you see the cord on the camera when the lift was coming down.
When you press against that the lift stops
there are sensors that stop it
TheRenaissanceman65 yes, there are.
TheRenaissanceman65 have you ever tripped and fell halfway on and halfway off while it was moving?

QUE GRANDE UN PATERNOSTER en excelente estado!
I can't believe they took this out over the summer just before I started.
H&S tossers
Oh no!!
Sacrilege. Heritage vandalism.
Just before we jumped in my boyfriend told me it went flat at the top 🤣
What did you think would happen?
Oh my lord, that thing is still running?!?!
Remember it well
Used to love this. Got rid of it in my final year
Overode it today
the good ole deathevator
Last I heard, they were still cleaning Rob's meat from between the gears.
Cheese grater!
And this is why I didn’t go to uni in Leicester.
Thats So cool
I still have dreams about this. 😂
Sigh - the memories :)
It's bad to do that it can throw the lift out of balance.
It's not going close to fast enough, and it's over-engineered to cover the potential of that kind of thing.
I dont like elevetor or wc
1:25 soy boy face
fart in a bottle
What the fuck does that mean m8?
It's nice to have a hobby, but kind've irrelevant for this video?
What a hideously ugly building!!! 😩
@TheRenaissanceman65 Very true lol
Produced some great intellectuals though..😊
