Atlantic City follow-up verdict: We might go!

As of right now, we might go!

That's right frirnds! We are most likely going to Atlantic City. Unfortunately, it won't be July, it may be the beginning of August. The proposed trip is supposed to take place from Sunday, August 5 to Wednesday, August 8. If we actually DO end up going, I hope not to stay in the Borgata hotel as there is the least diversity in their lifts, aside from a few outstandingly epic 2 to 3-story hydros & the rocket OTIS lifts in their north tower. Here are the possible hotels I could be staying at:
  • Ocean City Resort & Casino
  • Bally's
  • Harrah's
  • Resort's Casino & Hotel
  • Hard Rock
  • Caesar's Resort
  • Courtyard by Marriott Hotel
  • Hilton Hotel
  • Showboat Hotel
As of right now, I do not have any explicit plans to film any specific lifts in Atlantic City, as either reservations haven't been made, or I haven't found out about the details of the reservations if it was already ordered. My only goal is to film at least one rare lift (like the 1990s Schindler MRL at Caesar's), or at least one Montgomery OR KONE traction lift from BEFORE 2000.

What to expect between now & then

You could expect me to go to Scranton a few times before August 5. Additionally, I plan to be making another trip to Secaucus during the month of July, or a trip to Elizabeth at any time before August 5. I will make this the preview video for either our proposed Atlantic City trip on August 5, or our proposed Hartford trip on December 22, if we do not go to Atlantic City AT ALL this summer! I already have plans to visit Elizabeth at least twice or Secaucus at least once if the plans for Atlantic City do not fall through.

What to expect for the September 1st additions to CCRS

If I visit Scranton enough times & I like what I see in Scranton in terms of their most basic lift (which is hydraulic, surprising because hydros are more interesting than most tractions), I might open a new empty #23 spot for Scranton on CCRS & actually put Scranton on CCRS. If I visit more towns & cities in NJ to film lifts (like I visited Harrison yesterday & rode two AWESOME-RUNNING, yet basic 2013 OTIS Series 5 hydros) & I like what I ride or film, I am immediately ADDING those cities as principal towns or cities on CCRS, all with rankings BELOW ELIZABETH, which will be at #34 if Scranton goes on CCRS. I plan to have at least 42 cities & towns on CCRS before the December 16 additions to CCRS. 

New policy

Additions to CCRS will be made every 1 3/4 months. The schedule is found below:
Additions & revisions to CCRS will be made in 2018 on September 1st, October 27 & December 15. In 2019, additions will be made on January 5, February 23, April 13, June 1, July 20, September 7, October 26 & December 12.

The next follow-up verdict will go up on July 9 at 6:15.

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...
