October 27 will hold some of the most intriguing revisions to the CCRS!

Over Columbus Day weekend, I have pre-made some PRETTY SIGNIFICANT changes, additions, revisions & improvements to the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System, including adding new cities, new areas & new bands to make trip planning a lot easier.

New rules

  1. All cities where the name is partially or fully in the area/band on the interactive map are automatically considered a RANKED CITY on the CCRS & will hold the SAME RANKING as the name of the highest directly ranked city on the band’s NAME. However, this doesn’t apply to RMT bands, connector bands, or area joints.
    1. For example, as of October 27, LANCASTER will be in the Philadelphia/Pittsburgh band. Because Pittsburgh is the name of the highest ranked city on the band’s name, Lancaster & all other cities, towns & townships which have their displayed name fall partially or fully in the band will hold the same placement as PITTSBURGH does! Anyway, Lancaster has mostly GOOD LIFTS.
    2. However, if multiple bands are overlapping, then the band with the highest-ranked city in its name will be of ranking consideration for the cities that fall in the overlapping bands. For example, Flemington falls within the Elizabeth/Charlotte RMT band while it also falls within the Clinton Township/Charlotte RMT band. Flemington will automatically receive ELIZABETH’S ranking on the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System INSTEAD OF Clinton Township’s. There is a loophole, however. If the city that fell in the overlapping bands happens to also fall in a ranked AREA, then that city will automatically be crowned the ranking of the CENTRAL CITY, TOWN OR TOWNSHIP of that area. Fort Lauderdale falls on the Charlotte/Fort Lauderdale Band, but since she is a directly ranked city & she is in her own area, she & other cities directly in her color-coded area will get the 30 ranking.
  2. The Charlotte Carolina Ranking System now has bands connecting each other from Boston, all the way down to KEY WEST! You heard that right! As long as you are inside the bands & color-coded areas on the interactive map for Google Maps, you are directly inside the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System.
  3. Dual-area joints will not affect rankings. For example, the Fort Lauderdale/Miami joint has no effect on Fort Lauderdale’s CCRS ranking, or Miami’s!
  4. RMT bands & connectors connect bands to each other. For example, from Elizabeth until Flemington, there is a new band called the Elizabeth/Charlotte RMT band. All cities in the RMT band don’t have their rankings affected, EXCEPT for the ones already in the Charlotte Area, which all have a ranking of 1.
  5. Specific ROUTES will now be considered on the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System as a way of easy or fast access to an area of GRAND LIFTS! So far, the first five routes are Route 31 in Clinton Township, the Atlantic City Expressway, I-287, I-78 & Garden State Expressway.
  6. Anything NEW you see NOW on the map of the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System applies starting the NEXT cycle of revisions, which in this case, is October 27.

The rules have been put in place to clear any misconceptions with city rankings. Additionally, Salt Lake City, Portland & 3 cities in Tennessee now hold official rankings on the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System as of October 27, with Providence RI & a couple of other cities northeast of New York on the consideration list for the additions taking place on December 15 & January 26. Kissimmee has also been added & Lake Buena Vista is under high consideration, as well as Augusta Florida & Lynchburg Virginia.

On a side note, there are more bands being added, changed, or removed over the next two weeks.

A portion of New York City has been ranked last place on the Charlotte Carolina Ranking System. I did this out of generosity, as Staten Island has pretty decent lifts according to videos which have been filmed by suejoshappy. Staten Island is the only borough in NYC that will have an official ranking. Manhattan won’t have one anytime soon & Brooklyn & Queens will still need to watch more lift videos. I am signing off now & I will be back at 2:15 PM to discuss the likelihood of a possible Los Angeles trip which could happen over Thanksgiving weekend. I am not that crazy about it anyway, so I won’t be upset at all if it doesn’t happen! Bye y’all.

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...
