Secaucus MAY have a sister by tonight OR tomorrow

Secaucus may have a close sister

Tomorrow morning (or tonight if I get lucky), I hope to go to Elizabeth, NJ, to discover and film more hidden treasures that could be found. These hotels include the Renaissance hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, the Residence Inn hotel, and/or the Embassy Suites hotels. If I make it to at least TWO of the 4 hotels, then I will make sure to capture ALL characterful elements of the lifts on both my Android phone and/or my pre-2010 Sony Handycam, whichever I feel more comfortable filming with. 

What to expect if I go to Elizabeth

  • It's not a matter of when, it is a matter of if. Currently it is somewhat likely for me to go to Elizabeth.
  • 2 to 4 round trips on lifts at each hotel, each round trip paying attention to different characterful elements in the lifts if I get the chance
  • ONLY IF I GO TO THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL: Solid proof that the EcoDisc runs better than the lift community portrays them to be (yes, despite the EcoDisc not having quick acceleration, its unique & unusually seamless ride experience makes up for it and I did notice that on the last EcoDisc I filmed back in March 2017 after I came out of the mental hospital)
  • Pictures of the lifts (I will be mainly taking pictures of buttons, door equipment, call buttons and car panels & indicators, ESPECIALLY the EcoDisc lifts)

What to expect after my proposed trip to Elizabeth IF I GO

  • A verdict blog post at 5:15 PM or 8:45 PM on the day that I do go
    • This blog post may describe in detail about each set of lifts I supposedly filmed
  • A compilation video on YouTube of every lift I filmed in Elizabeth EXCEPT NEWARK AIRPORT (yes, I will be uploading my cringe IKEA lift videos from back in January)
  • Strong comparisons between Secaucus and Elizabeth
  • Final verdict for Elizabeth's placement in the Charlotte Kingdom

What else to expect

I will be writing extra update blog posts throughout the week. These blog posts will be about plans for other trips to Elizabeth to film more lifts that I have missed. The reason why I only want to go at most 3 times this summer is that she has even less lifts to film than Secaucus does, giving her a ranking as a town on the Charlotte Kingdom (below Secaucus). For this reason, Newark will have the same placement as she does on the Charlotte Kingdom!

A blog post regarding the next update for Atlanta, Atlantic City & Fort Lauderdale will show up on June 24 at 8:45 AM. The verdict will show up on July 1st at 5:15 PM. The next update will show up tomorrow at 8:45 AM, hopefully, while I am enjoying the lifts in Elizabeth Town if I didn't go today. Expect a bad verdict for Atlanta. In fact, we're most likely not going to Atlanta at all! I am telling you my best prediction for the verdict way in advance so you're prepared when the actual verdict arrives.

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...
