lol my dad is the Western Regional manager of Kone Elevator Escalator

[twotailedavenger]

hmmm... is this a hydraulic or traction? Probably traction seeing as how the tallest hydraulic I've seen only goes up six floors.

[musicfreakcc]

@twotailedavenger those are traction

[WDLawless]

@twotailedavenger I've actually ridden in a Dover hydraulic elevator at Edgewater Walk, an apartment complex in Tinley Park, Illinois, that serves 9 floors (LL, 1-8).

[SeeGraeginatorRun]

Ford City Mall is 2 blocks south of the midway airport!

[DAYSNMAYS]

ok like we all know that already

[escalatorgeek836]

geez i hate to get stuck in that thing.

[lonelyroadtofreedom]

i don't understand the irony.

[otis401shan]

help button = alarm?

[Quentinmovie]

most new kones have quiet voices

[musicfreakcc]

With a British accent.

[Quentinmovie]

Some of the Kones in Scotland have a Scottish Accent!

[racingfan2k10]

hahahaa nice!

[jordannewcastle]

@Quentinmovie The one lift in Scotland I have been in, didn't even have 2 doors, just a normal pulling door and then it looks like the walls are moving! Probably from the 1960's.

[suiteliferocks9]

Midway is in Chicago right?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes.

[klct2006]

Sure is, I was in that airport on Saturday and Sunday. :)

[ahocknul04]

where were u going if you were at the airport

[musicfreakcc]

Back to Atlanta.

[nwaairlinkazo]

on delta??? i love DELTA!!!

[Quentinmovie]

If the airport is decorated in american stuff, Why couldn't they use Otis Elevators?

[elevatorsonly]

Yes, it's ODD!!!! I guess they didn't know they have an option on Otis Gen2s that Gen2s could talk.

[crapper1]

what company is kone origanly from it seems german from the name

[musicfreakcc]

Finland.

[kwag4]

In Florida, at the Pink Shell Resort, we have a 15 floor hydraulic elevator.

[dea41396]

Hydraulic only go up to 7! You actually have a traction elevator! Try to get your facts right!

[kwag4]

It's inspection certificate has hydraulic-passenger, and I was off, it has 9 floors.

[Baytrail]

Did you not go to 1 due to a lack of time?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes.

[musicfreakcc]

Well, its american division, that is.

[alpaljl]

What is so ironic?

[musicfreakcc]

How everything there is very American, while the elevators are made by KONE.

[neuroth111111]

sorry i misspelld ill repost delete my old comments please

[CaptainElevator42189]

Too bad they couldn't have used blue up and red down illumination on the direction lights. Freedom and Democracy!

[bearchoirfan]

The equipment here is generic, I should say. But the small triangular direction indicators still give back some Kone spirit.

[musicfreakcc]

Also, the indicator and the floor signals were made by Kone.

[yuumyyum101010]

Chicago! Thats where i live!

[patricknedz]

thats a nice elevator I love new elevators theres a new elevvator at church its a thyssenkrupp installed december 2007

[sethn172]

Ha ha! American designs on a Finnish elevator!

[musicfreakcc]

I could not help but crack up when I rode those for the first time.

[neuroth111111]

this is probly the eco system mr from kone

[musicfreakcc]

I think it's probably a Kone EcoDisc elevator.

[neuroth111111]

seems a bit fast for an eco disc

[alpaljl]

strange how the bell rang...those type of bells don't ring like that...on a daily basis...what i am trying to say is not the normal ring for that style

[alpaljl]

Music so cool.

Had to say it again.

It is just like Disneyland in CA.

[musicfreakcc]

They play a different tune for each floor. They list the songs and groups that performed it on the first floor.

[6Q73RA]

A security camera was onboard. No one notice about you, right?

[musicfreakcc]

I could care less.

[alpaljl]

Same here. If I see a security camara was on board...ya...I could care less.

[neuroth111111]

hah i would care less i go ri midway those things suck

[CaptainElevator42189]

I guess these use Innovation Bruiser buttons, which are modified for Kone Elevators, and also uses the old style Montgomery elevator fan. Also, I found some comprehensive information of these elevators/escalators on the Kone website.

[Baytrail]

Does 1 have anything special?

[musicfreakcc]

No; just the exit to the shuttles. This parking garage is quite, especially since it is the economy lot.

[alpaljl]

What is the economy lot?

[Baytrail]

WHY the HELL couldn't you go to 1?????!!!!!

[musicfreakcc]

I was parked on 2, and made a video.

[Baytrail]

What component is placed in the elevator to make the elevator talk?

[musicfreakcc]

It's usually part of the bell.

[alpaljl]

i love the backround music
