How does it work

Wikipedia says only staff can use this?

[benobve]

@bronzeonion it is behind a locked glass door. I got to it by following someone though the door.

[MrUNIXman]

I had a ride on that I took a Doctor for ride due to staff policies, it was good to ride on

[MrUNIXman]

I went to this hospital to ride loads of other lifts hoping to ride the paternoster it was broken

[caley956]

I see N/Park's security is as bad as it was in the 1970s - any Tom Dick or Harry can just wander in and point a camera without being challenged then?

[itrialobra]

hi is it good to work in that hospital..i am a nurse and im considering ur hospital...does the insitution manages all kinds of diseases? or does it specializes in maternity and child care?

[benobve]

I don't work at this hospital - I was just visiting to ride the lifts.

I don't iknow if it is a nice place to work.

the hospital is a bit grotty and it is a bit smelly.

[stevocooldude]

I know that the lifts at this Hospital are all old Otis Lifts but Is this Paternoster an Otis too?

[benobve]

@stevocooldude I don't know who made the paternoster

[mrmattandmrchay]

Very cool when you go beyond the top floor - you can see a little of the machine room. The travel beyond the top floor is further than I expected, took a while before you were heading back down again.

[IATEDACOCOJUMBO]

for some reason I've developed a phobia of lifts/elevators. I got stuck in one in a mall in LA back in 2004. Fire crew had to rescure me , and i think it was televised on local tv stations.

i dont know why stupid shit like that happens to me only. why me ? why ?

wont be to Los Angeles any time soon after that incident heh.

[benobve]

I am sorry to hear that you got stuck in a lift.

I have not yet been stuck in a lift, but I might because I go in so many lifts. There has been a few times that I almost got stuck.

several times I have been in a lift that has stoped between floors then started again. and in some gated lifts the door has came open when the lift is moving so the lift has stopped (closeing the door makes it start again).

I have been stuck on a train - see watch?v=4ahcil5zzuQ

[mz5879]

Do you go upside down towards the end?

[benobve]

no - When it changes direction it moves over to the other side without going upside down

[mz5879]

Then, why does a sign say "Last floor, further travel dangerous."

[benobve]

I don't know

It is strange that the first sign said "Last floor further travel dangerous" and the second sign said "DON'T PANIC Further travel is not dangerous"

[mz5879]

Weird.

[elevatorsonly]

@benobve I think "IS NOT" faded off the first sign.

[MrUNIXman]

@elevatorsonly unless it was scribbled or painted over. nice paternoster

[ATITANIC1992]

@benobve In denmark the signs just says "hold your position" when you reach the bottom or top.

[TheElevatorChannel]

At 2:08, I wonder how many people have panicked after reading that. "Last floor, further travel dangerous".

[TheDaniel500]

@TheElevatorChannel some of it was rubbed off i think. there was another sign saying don't panic further travel not dangerous.

[elevescalators]

@TheElevatorChannel And then it says 'Further travel NOT dangerous'...

[neaelevator]

Very Cool!

[funcik1]

[benobve]

[outhlandish]
