Final Verdict (Atlantic City will have residual update journal posts)

Final statistics:

  • Atlantic City (31): On the fence
  • Hartford (25): On the fence
  • Fort Lauderdale (16): Incredibly unlikely / borderline impossible
  • Los Angeles (9): Incredibly unlikely / borderline impossible
  • Hudson County, Airport & Meadowlands Area (32 and lower): Extremely likely
  • Atlanta (21): Incredibly unlikely / borderline impossible
  • Pittsburgh (22): Very unlikely
Concluding with these statistics, it can be safely said that a trip to Fort Lauderdale, LA or Atlanta this summer is NOT HAPPENING! However, there is no black and white verdict for Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, or Hartford, which will result in follow-up verdicts for those cities throughout the month of July & possibly through the month of August as well. Philadelphia is not going on the Charlotte Kingdom until I have ridden multiple lifts in that city (that does not mean I have to FILM it). Here are the summer plans:

Plan A:

  • Spend 3 days MINIMUM in Atlantic City in any hotel EXCEPT the Borgata and is MORE THAN 5 stories tall! Tropicana, Bally's, Showboat, or Caesar's preferred & I WILL BE OKAY staying in the Courtyard by Marriott if that is our ultimate last resort due to them having ThyssenKrupp lifts on Dover controllers from the 80's, but I will want to go to at least ONE of the places with the best high rise lifts in the state of NJ, and I WILL WANT TO film at least ONE MONTGOMERY or ONE KONE and they MUST BE TRACTION OR MRL! And I DO NOT want to go to the Borgata hotel unless we are staying in the WATER CLUB tower! Otherwise I will make those risky lobby trips to the Water Club tower each day of the stay to ride up & down the FASTER ACCELERATION Otis Elevonic 411 lifts.

Plan B:

  • Spend two or three days in Hartford or New Haven

Plan C:

  • Take at least three morning or day trips to Elizabeth during the months of July & August before school begins, or take three day trips to Elizabeth during August ALONE. And I will want to film OR JUST RIDE at least ONE KONE lift before school begins if I CANNOT film a Montgomery TRACTION lift!

Plan D:

  • Take at least two trips to Secaucus during July & August before school begins.

Plan E:

  • Over Christmas week 2018, spend 2 or more nights in Atlantic City, Hartford or Pittsburgh or take two non-consecutive trips to:
    • If only one trip taken to Hudson County during July or August:
      • Secaucus AND Elizabeth
    • If more than one trip to Hudson County during July or August:
      • Secaucus OR Elizabeth

Plan F:

  • Spend at least one day in any New Jersey city or township on the direct express route between Clinton & New York City & film lifts to see if those cities & towns qualify for empty placements on the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System (Charlotte Kingdom or CCRS).

Plan G (LAST RESORT EMERGENCY, WEEKEND BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS):

  • Film lifts locally ANYWHERE in Hunterdon County (including Clinton Township).
  • Film ANY LIFT in Jersey City & take EVERY OPPORTUNITY (This includes Home Depot, which has KONE Hornrt Disc lifts). Even film TWO STORY LIFTS at this point and WHEELCHAIR PLATFORM LIFTS!

Plan H:

  • Add another city, two, OR THREE to the CCRS graduation trip project's final draft! These cities must rank below Chicago on the CCRS & must be within driving distance of the center of Hunterdon County. Atlantic City and Hartford will be TOP CANDIDATES if it doesn't happen during the summer of 2018. The number of additional cities & towns I want to visit after my initial high school graduation trip is dependent on the number of times I film lifts inside the CCRS (Charlotte-Carolina Ranking System) and the ranking on CCRS of the cities that I DO VISIT!
  • Go to TWO CITIES on the CCRS ranking above Secaucus which are no further than 400 miles away from the heart of Hunterdon County, or MORE THAN 50 miles away from New York City:
    • 22-Pittsburgh
    • 25-Hartford
    • 26-New Haven
    • 27-Stamford
    • 29-Rochester
    • 30-Buffalo
    • 31-Atlantic City
  • These should be visited over Winter recess or Spring recess!

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...

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...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
