Back to School Journal Post: December 2018 Forecast & HS graduation trip discussion

Hartford & Scranton

There has been talk of a possible trip to Scranton, or Hartford, this upcoming December. While I am definitely not as excited as I was last year to go to Hartford or Scranton (refer to the drama from Atlantic City summer 2018 for reasons why), I am still going to be giving you Friday Evening updates about the possible plans for December 2018. I still have no problem staying inside of Clinton Township for December 2018.

I have ZERO lift filming plans in Hartford OR SCRANTON during December 2018. If I am able to film a lift, I will have to film that lift ON MY OWN, for an uninterrupted video.

Atlantic City

Regarding the Atlantic City lift galore for August 2018, I have decided to cancel full lift galore production & instead make individual “Magical Lift” videos for every set of lifts that I was able to film in Atlantic City this August. As a matter of fact, I will use the lift footage I got in Atlantic City as food for my future intro & outro videos. I still have no plans to film ANY MORE lifts in Atlantic City anytime soon, until I can PHYSICALLY & LEGALLY get from NYC to LA on my own. I am not excited for any trip outside of Clinton Township if it was NOT my planning, ANYWHERE in CCRS. I have therefore greatly minimised my lift filming career. Polished lift videos from Atlantic City will be going up at any time between now and 12.22.2018.

High School Graduation Trip

While it is possible that I may not be graduating from high school on 6.13.2019, I will still be working very hard in order to raise my chances of graduating on 6.13.2019. Worst case scenario, I may NOT be able to graduate on 6.13.2019 & instead graduate on 6.11.2020, which will then resort to a best case scenario because that means I may be able to DRIVE to my graduation trip on my own! I expect to film TWO SETS of lifts AT MINIMUM on my high school graduation trip! However, if I DO GRADUATE on 6.13.2019, then these are the following options (ones with asterisks automatically are taken off consideration list if there are extenuating circumstances which take place during any NON SELF-PLANNED trip to any other CCRS city between now & graduation day), all on either 6.13 OR 15.2019:

  • Secaucus*
  • East Rutherford*
  • Edison
  • Lyndhurst*
  • Woodbridge*
  • Millburn*
  • Elizabeth*
  • Freehold*
  • Morristown
  • Bridgewater
  • Clinton (WORST CASE SCENARIO)

Morristown, Bridgewater & Edison Townships will automatically be put on my “Rethink” list if our proposed December “Charolina” trip involves the same thing that happened in Atlantic City. I will then have no problem staying locally in Clinton & changing my plans to film lifts right after the graduation ceremony ends. My original plan was to spend 4 days in July in downtown Charlotte for my graduation trip & bring one or two frirnds, but Atlantic City taught me a lesson! I have now postponed the summer 2019 Charlotte trip for my college graduation trip, which will start being discussed during the beginning of my FINAL YEAR OF COLLEGE.

I will be back tomorrow at 8:45 AM to announce final additions to CCRS as of September 1st & then discuss Elizabeth’s future placement on CCRS which are planned for October 27 at 8:45 AM or October 26 at 5:15 PM. As of right now, you are not going to know when are my next plans for filming lifts. I will not have any future plans to film lifts as of right now, unless I make plans to film a lift in Clinton Township.

I am signing off now.

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...
