A/P 3.25 & Pittsburgh verdict day

FINAL VERDICT FOR PITTSBURGH

Sadly, we are NOT going to Pittsburgh during Spring week! Although this is unfortunate for all of you, this now opens up a new possibility for our current 16 graduation trip options (bold are emergency resorts):
  1. Charlotte --> the city I am aiming to go to during my graduation trip
  2. STLouis
  3. Kansas City
  4. San Diego
  5. LosAngeles
  6. Houston
  7. Fort Lauderdale
  8. Miami
  9. Atlanta
  10. Pittsburgh
  11. Milwaukee
  12. Chicago
  13. Hartford
  14. New Haven
  15. AtlantiCity
  16. Secaucus
Blame this verdict on snow days which have shortened our spring break to only 3ish days.

While Pittsburgh may not be happening, I do have ideas (NOT PLANS) for going to Scranton PA for a weekend during April 2018 to refilm the lifts at 1 of 3 Marriott Hotels in Moosic:
  • Courtyard (3 floors 1990s Schindler 300 hydros)
  • TP (4 floors 2010s OTIS 211H)
  • Springhill (4 floors 2010s Schindler 330)
As of now, Scranton is not in C. Kingdom.

UPDATE FOR ATLANTA

As of right now, it certainly doesn't look like Atlanta could be happening (still at 1%), but I will continue being on a strong lookout. FYI if Atlanta doesn't happen this summer, I will put it on the list of options for next summer.

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...

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
