What's the LA trip verdict going to be?

So far, the probability of this trip happening is under 5%. As much as I am disappointed for the continuous steady drop in our likelihood of going & as much as you guys especially are disappointed of this unfortunate unlikelihood, just remember you & I must stay strong & pray that we are at the minimum just going to Charlotte during the high school graduation trip.

What will happen if it ends up being a NO?

If it ends up being a no, you & I will definitely be upset for the moment, but in the meantime, a new probably trend chart will open up between now & Christmas week of us going to Pittsburgh. From Verdict Day until the week BEFORE Christmas week, I will give you new charts once weekly. Your job will be to recognize a trend between each chart to determine the likelihood of us going to Pittsburgh. A final verdict will be on the EleFilm blog by December 22nd.

In addition, if we are NOT going to Pittsburgh by December 22nd (a verdict will be up by the 22nd anyway at 4:15 PM if LA IS NOT HAPPENING), then, you will know of any immediate emergency plans which I currently have in place for the worst case scenario. These plans include, but are not limited to:
  • Going to the Hyatt Centric, Le Parker Meridien, Marriott Marquis, WTC & / or the Millennium WTC Hilton hotel in New York City (This time I will not film any generic lift that goes beyond 5 floors unless I know for definite sure it is hydraulic).
  • Going back to Secaucus to film epic lifts that I haven't been able to go to film during my past 2 to 3 trips to Secaucus to film lifts
  • Going to Atlantic City
  • Going to Cromwell

What will happen if it miraculously is NOT a no?

Well, if that happens (I have huge doubts it will though), you & I will definitely be extremely excited just for the moment. Between the verdict days & December 17, a big blog post will be developed & it will come to the EleFilm blog. It will be developed over a series of days so that only the most accurate information possible could be delivered. I will gradually add to the post when I find out important details of the trip itinerary. However, if we end up being able to go to LA & if we do go, these are the three places I want to film the lifts:
  • OUE Skyspace LA
  • Wilshire Grand Plaza
  • Holiday Inn Express Burbank (Tower hotels)
In addition, if we do end up being able to go & end up going anyway, expect lots of pre-trip posts to be popping up on the EleFilm blog randomly between the moment the blog post for the itinerary pops up (on December 17) & the night before we get on the plane.

For lift videos, you will know what lifts I have filmed in a #FRIRND post AFTER I FILMED THE LIFT! You will not know beforehand, they will all be surprises. I am doing the exact opposite of what I did on the Fort Lauderdale trip, though as a way to avoid this being a disaster. Remember, I'm going to LA to be amazed, not miss out! 

How to prepare in the meantime

While you're waiting for the verdict to show up on December 7 (which is literally not even 2 weeks away), keep your mind at ease by not even thinking about it & having a good time with your friends to cool off. If anything should happen you will be notified of it right away via #FRIRND.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

A QUICK ANALYSIS OF EACH OF THE LIFTS AT BRIDGEWATER MALL IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP

I do not have much time to elaborate on every single detail of the lifts at the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater Township, so I will try to narrow down my analyses as quick as possible. I have no time to include pictures as visuals either, so you’ll just have to refer to the attached YouTube video below. The Mall itself Bridgewater Commons Mall is a mall from the early 1980’s that has gone through quite a few renovations and expansions over the years. Inside the mall, the original anchors are Macy’s and Bloomingdales, which both have Westinghouse lifts, still fully original to the 1980’s construction project. The carpark was added in during the 1990’s and features the first lift I filmed which was the Dover glass hydraulic. Inside the mall, there is a food court on the third floor with three sets of escalators throughout the main part of the mall, with three more sets inside the multi-level stores (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor). The majority of the escalators are Schin...
