NEW JERSEY RITE OF PASSAGE
To describe an event where a lift filmer is brave enough to take on the challenge of an alone trip on New Jersey’s most fearsome lifts. These lifts are located at the West Tower of the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City, and were installed by MontgomeryKONE in 1996, later modernized slightly by Schindler in 2003, with original call buttons. These lifts have been known to cause slight anxiety to hotel guests, and visitors. A lift enthusiast steps into the lift by themselves, going to the 50th floor, or highest floor unlocked, pressing the “RECORD” button on their camera. While enroute, the lift filmer cannot make a stop at any other floor, and must complete one full round trip on any two of the four lifts in the set. Once the lift filmer has made it back to the concourse floor, without voluntarily stopping on any other floor besides the concourse floor and the highest floor unlocked, every other lift they encounter in the entire state of New Jersey will be a piece of cake for them. AP Lifts of Clinton Township by MagicalLift256 came up with this term after taking on the challenge during his third trip to Atlantic City. So far, the only four known lift enthusiasts to have ever taken upon this challenge are AP Lifts of Clinton Township by MagicalLift256, Maor Edry, American Elevators, and suejoshappy.
