LIFT FILMING PLANS FOR 12/17

Coronavirus Pandemic Standards

With the exception of the fifth anniversary lift filming plans, the standard for lift filming is as follows:

U.S. daily coronavirus cases must not exceed 55,000 for the 4 consecutive days before the planned in-person lift filming day & none of the four up to the planned lift filming day can have a 6% increase or more in daily cases from the day before.
New Jersey daily coronavirus cases must not exceed 1,000 cases for the 4 consecutive days before the planned in-person lift filming day & none of the four up to the planned lift filming day can have a 10% increase or more in daily cases from the day before.

If both requirements are met on each of the four days before a planned in-person lift filming day, the in-person lift filming plans will exist. If during any of the four days before a planned lift filming event are the requirements unmet, I will have a virtual alternative in place. This will be my new rule for the remainder of the pandemic until the following conditions are met on a consistent basis (13 weeks):

U.S. cases: 9,999 or fewer per day
New Jersey cases: 249 or fewer per day

Virtual Alternatives

If a lift filming day should be switched to virtual for any reason, I will prepare buildings using the Skyscraper Simulator to supplement before the lift filming day.

In-person Lift Filming

During the pandemic, live lift filming is off limits. However, a tik tok account at @clinton.township.lifts will be created for short lift filming skits.

In-Person Lift Filming Plans

The plan is to go to Short Hills Mall on December 17 at 5:15 PM.
Lifts to be filmed (In order of increase distance away from Nordstrom):

Auxiliary Lift
Nordstrom Lifts
Macys Lift
Yellow Carpark Lifts
Crate and Barrel Lift

Virtual Lift Filming Plans

The plan is to film one building in Skyscrapersim at 5:30 PM should there be extenuating circumstances not allowing me to film lifts in-person on December 17. The current options are:

Guy’s Hospital
Spire Mod (Non-stop only from CL to 176)
Triton Center (Hotel Section)
Coalham Housing Estate (Skywalk Terrace only)

Regardless of which route I choose, the lift videos will be compiled into a movie to be uploaded to my YouTube Channel on the day of my fifth anniversary which is December 26 at 9:30 AM & 11:00 PM, respectively. Additionally, an Excel Spreadsheet will be used to track the percentage gain/loss of coronavirus cases from each of the 4 days leading up to December 17.

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...
