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.

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...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
