AF 5/6

By now, it should be completely obvious that we are still on the fence about where we want to go this summer. As of right now, the family plans all have ideas for going anywhere in the Charlotte Kingdom or Carolina Family, even if a trip was to take place anywhere in New Jersey, or Connecticut, even outside of Atlantic City, Secaucus, Hartford, Stamford or New Haven.

The Charlotte Kingdom changes have been in place since April 25, but I am deciding to keep the changes private until my formal return to YouTube on June 16 or later.

Speaking of Atlanta, there is a very low chance Atlanta is happening. I have not created any more PB trends since early March, but from the past Fort Lauderdale & supposed Los Angeles trip which was supposed to happen back in December 2017, but failed miserably, both you and I can expect a 3% chance of going to Atlanta this summer as of this moment.
Both you and I can expect a 3% chance of going to Atlanta this summer as of this moment.
Speaking of Charlotte Kingdom, there will now be 32 cities in the Kingdom starting June 23 when I finish making my changes to my YouTube channel, Google+ page, wiki page, website & info chart:

  1. Charlotte
  2. Asheville
  3. Indianapolis
  4. Saint Louis
  5. Kansas City
  6. San Diego
  7. San Francisco
  8. Sacramento
  9. Los Angeles
  10. Houston
  11. Dallas
  12. San Antonio
  13. Plano
  14. Frisco
  15. Austin
  16. Fort Lauderdale
  17. Miami
  18. Orlando
  19. Sarasota
  20. Tampa
  21. Atlanta
  22. Pittsburgh
  23. Milwaukee
  24. Chicago
  25. Hartford
  26. New Haven
  27. Stamford
  28. White Plains
  29. Rochester
  30. Buffalo
  31. Atlantic City
  32. Secaucus
  33. San Angelo will get its placement asap
Because I have so many cities to choose from for my graduation trip, I am going to need to tone down the guidelines for my research project & condense the amount of research I need to do, by only focusing on the worst public lifts in each city, as those are the lifts I will want to film first when I visit my city of choice.

There are ideas about Fort Lauderdale & discussions have made us going to Fort Lauderdale a bit more likely, at around 12%. I am not particularly excited to go to Fort Lauderdale because I want to film some lifts that have true character from the 1980s & 1990s, not a lift with modern character (even a lift from the 2000's will make me happy). If we do go to Fort Lauderdale, I do not want to stay in the Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Beach. Instead, I want to stay in the 6-story Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Weston hotel which has far nicer ThyssenKrupp Impulse lifts from the early 2000's.

The likelihood of us going to Atlanta is at 3%, while the likelihood of us going to Fort Lauderdale is between 9 & 12%.

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...
