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.

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...
