Massive revamp of the Charlotte Kingdom

Hello frirnds, I am beyond excited to announce a meaningful & promisingly charming revamp to the Charlotte Kingdom. As I am continuing to do medium-core research about the 12 new cities I am considering to add (including 3 cities in New York State), I am deciding to hold off on final semi-annual additions to the Charlotte Kingdom until June 1st.

Full Charlotte Kingdom list as of 6.1:

  1. Charlotte
  2. Indianapolis
  3. Saint Louis
  4. Kansas City
  5. San Diego
  6. San Francisco
  7. Sacramento
  8. Los Angeles
  9. Houston
  10. Dallas
  11. Plano
  12. Frisco
  13. San Antonio
  14. Fort Lauderdale
  15. Miami
  16. Orlando
  17. Atlanta
  18. Pittsburgh
  19. Milwaukee
  20. Chicago
  21. Hartford
  22. New Haven
  23. Stamford
  24. White Plains
  25. Rochester
  26. Buffalo
  27. Atlantic City
  28. Secaucus
    1. San Angelo has yet to be explored.

New Charlotte Kingdom additions to the list as of 6.1:

  1. Indianapolis
  2. San Francisco
  3. Sacramento
  4. Dallas
  5. Plano
  6. Frisco
  7. San Antonio
  8. Orlando
  9. Stamford
  10. White Plains
  11. Rochester
  12. Buffalo
Because of the new additions to the Charlotte Kingdom, this will, therefore, put more options on the Charlotte Kingdom graduation trip research project. Since 6 months will theoretically not be enough time for me to get accurate research of each city in time for my graduation on June 13, 2019, I will need to make some drastic adjustments to the guidelines for my project. Perhaps I should just focus on filming the worst lifts first.

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...
