RADICAL CHANGE TO CCRS

After filming some even more high quality, high character lifts in Secaucus yesterday, I am now planning to do a major revamp to CCRS, giving under-placed cities & towns on my list higher placements. Currently, the placements of each city in CCRS (which the exception of those in North Carolina) are not respective of how good the lifts are. I simply based their placements in the order which I discovered the cities, which could spell disaster when my graduation trip is around the corner. The placements of each city on CCRS are currently like this:

  1. Charlotte
  2. Asheville
  3. Indianapolis
  4. Saint Louis
  5. Kansas City
  6. San Diego
  7. San Francisco
  8. Sacramento
  9. LA
  10. Houston
  11. Dallas
  12. San Antonio
  13. Austin
  14. Plano
  15. Frisco
  16. Fort Lauderdale
  17. Miami
  18. Orlando
  19. Tampa
  20. Sarasota
  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. Elizabeth
  34. Freehold*
  35. Morristown*

After filming such awesome lifts in Secaucus yesterday, I have realized that I have been self-centered & placed Secaucus near the bottom of the list because I have classified it as a small town, not as a big city. As of tonight, I am going to make a radical change to CCRS. I am officially ADDING Freehold & Morristown & this is how it’s going to look:

  1. Charlotte
  2. Asheville
  3. Atlantic City
  4. Secaucus
  5. Elizabeth
  6. Freehold
  7. Morristown
  8. Houston
  9. Dallas
  10. San Antonio
  11. Austin
  12. Plano
  13. Frisco
  14. San Diego
  15. San Francisco
  16. Sacramento
  17. Los Angeles
  18. Fort Lauderdale
  19. Miami
  20. Orlando
  21. Tampa
  22. Sarasota
  23. Hartford
  24. New Haven
  25. Stamford
  26. Indianapolis
  27. Saint Louis
  28. Kansas City
  29. Atlanta
  30. Pittsburgh
  31. Milwaukee
  32. Chicago
  33. White Plains
  34. Rochester
  35. Buffalo

I am thinking of adding Mount Laurel to the list, but I haven’t found enough video evidence to see how I feel about adding it. There are very few videos of lifts from Mount Laurel NJ. I will probably have to take a day trip down to Mount Laurel during the Spring of 2019 to find out if I am comfortable adding it as a city or a town. The city we are going to next month will rank THIRD PLACE on CCRS. Changes will go up on September 1st as mentioned earlier. Get prepared for Atlantic City on August 5 through 8!

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...

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...

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...
