A/P update 2/25

We are SUPER UNLIKELY to go to Atlanta OR Pittsburgh!

Pittsburgh

As you could clearly see in the probability trend given to you from above, the probability of us going to Pittsburgh during Passover Week looks alarmingly low, however, I am in the process of moving to a DIFFERENT property in Hunterdon County, so you could almost expect us to be super lucky if we even get any opposing ideas that we might be GOING! I don't anticipate OR expect to go to Pittsburgh during Passover Week, however, I have high hopes for it. The bottom line is that trips to ANY PRINCIPAL CITY of Charlotte Kingdom will not go as planned & even while a trip is happening, expect itineraries to change so fast you can't even say "BOO!" With that being said, I will do absolutely everything I possibly could under the sun to keep you updated with only the most real facts I could give you. Expect nothing good for the next 2 Pittsburgh updates after this! If you think Pittsburgh looks alarming, Atlanta hasn't risen above 3% since January 28!

However, if things change & I do get to go to Pittsburgh, I have no set lift filming itinerary, meaning that I will try to be open to filming as many different lifts throughout Pittsburgh as possible, mainly his worst lifts (all have Innovation or EPCO but I will NOT film the lifts that have EPCO SSL, EPCO MML or Monitor TR).
Regarding Pittsburgh's best lifts, there is no "best lift" because 90% of all of the lifts in Pittsburgh are equally good, old or new, generic or real. It is a city filled with lifts full of class, taste & character, 3 important elements to make a lift really worth the film.

Atlanta

As of right now, the probability of us going to Atlanta hasn't reached above 3 percent since January 28. While this isn't entirely surprising since I am expecting us not to go to Atlanta anyway, it is surprising to see the probability staying at 3% instead of dropping towards the 0% threshold. From now until July 1st at 6:00 PM when the final verdict pops up, the probability of us going to Charlotte or ANYWHERE IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE MATTER is 20% of the probability of us going to Atlanta. I am making this proportion based off of what kept happening during past long-distance Charlotte-Kingdom trips. However, if, only by a slimmer of a chance should we end up going to Atlanta this summer & the verdict does say "we are going" at the top of the blog post in big giant Roboto font, then these are the first lifts I am hoping to film besides the hotel or airport if I'm flying or staying at a hotel in Atlanta (I hope I do so that I could ride up & down its lift for fun):
  1. Hyatt Place Atlanta GA at Peachtree St Northwest (EPIC 1MPS OTIS BLACK BUTTON DC POWERED)
  2. Carpark at Woodruff Arts Centre (GLASS 0.5MPS MINNESOTA HIGHDRAULIC)
  3. Ponce City Market (GLASS EPIC EUROPEAN 1MPS KONE ECOSPACE)
  4. Atlanta Symphony Hall (HEAVY DUTY 0.35MPS MONTGOMERY HYDRAULIC)
  5. Cobb County Carpark (GLASS 0.75MPS KONE ECOSPACE WITH CLASS)
  6. Atlanta Airport Gateway Marriott (EPIC VERY FAST 2.0MPS MODERN KONE MONOSPACE)
However, this is only a list of lifts I HOPE to film IF I end up going to Atlanta, NOT the ones I am EXPECTING to film! In fact, I do not expect to be filming any lifts at all if I go to Atlanta because there's always a probability above 80 percent that I will be staying at family relatives who live half hour north of Atlanta anyway. I cannot get too excited for Atlanta because if I do & it ends up looking horrible on the first day of July, then I would be excited for no reason at all.

Furthermore, as the probability for Atlanta stays at 3% or continues dwindling down towards the 0% line, expect Tropicana in Atlantic City to become a leading possibility once June 3rd hits! Once June 3rd hits, we will have blog post updates scheduled about the Tropicana's likelihood of happening every 2 weeks. The blog posts will pop up on June 3rd at 8:45 AM, June 17th at 8:45 AM & July 1st at 6:00 PM.

The next update will be up on March 11 at 8:45 AM. Until then, be on the lookout for Google+ posts on #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...

Paramus Lift Galore: June 2022

Written on behalf of the Rising Salamander Academy Lift Galore Date: June 17 Lift Galore Time: 5:00 PM EST It's been a long time since I've last filmed lifts in person, a whole whopping half a year to be exact. I'm excited to be back, but not for long, since I have to finish up my time at Kean University & focus on graduating on time. But for the mean time, let's enjoy our summer recess, film the best lifts we can film & make the most of it! Westinghouse Lift Where: Macy's, Garden State Plaza Time Filmed: 10:10 AM (June 10) Grade: B+ Speed to Height Ratio: 8.1:1 (Fast) Landings Served: 3 The first lift of this lift galore is a 1950's Westinghouse lift which was later modernised by a generic company between the 1980's & early 2000's with EPCO Flushline fixtures on the outside, EPCO Circleline fixtures on the inside. This lift has a speed to height ratio of 8.1:1 which makes it fast for the application & number of landings. This lift is loc...
