[JustinBiebzCruznBabe]

I saw this building in december omg it was so tall

[kidcrazee4]

i would be sick

[elevatorgolfer9]

i'm so sad that these elevators got hit by the tornado and i'm not going to see anything out of the window if i ride them when i'm in atlanta. i think they're reopening the scenic elevators this summer

[maalit72]

The wind voise at 0:31 from the elevator or from outside the scyscraper?

[GVike]

Oh, God, no... dude, my bro rode with me on THIS elevator and I could NOT look to the outside going up. I was scared s-less... vertigo here I go.

[patricknedz]

is this the one andrew filmed when it was covered up?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes

[syndrom453]

2:05 is that the marriott marquis?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes.

[syndrom453]

gotta love the chime!

[gobuzzrobotics]

ive stayed on the 58th floor- when i was there the scenic elevator was broken down

[deltaboy767]

I can remember when the tower first opened up in 1979, i also remember the first time i went up to the top, of the then called Peachtree Plaza tower, now called the Westin. My how times have changed...

[dennismanvids]

wow! that is one great camcorder elevator ride! i wish i was there. super vid!

[jack9547]

what happened at the beginning where it wouldn't move?

[musicfreakcc]

I don't know - it must have been a controller error.

[TransitFan7]

Did you like the food in the SunDial restaurant?

[musicfreakcc]

Oh yes - it's very good.

[halloweentown4all]

Do those scenic elevators still work?

[musicfreakcc]

They do, but the windows are covered.

[patricknedz]

not now they need key cards because westin is stupid. Also the reviews of this place are very bad so dont ever stay here.

[dea41396]

can you retake these now that there reopened?(I heared that they'll be done in July)

[musicfreakcc]

According to the people at the SunDial, they will be don late July. The only problem is that I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow, and am very busy afterwords, so don't expect a video for a month.

[TransitFan7]

Did you pay to go up to the 72nd floor at $5 each?

[nwest1140]

There is a special external elevator that has access to floor 72, that would be a restaurant of some kind.

William.

[Baytrail]

OMG! How do you get to 71?!?!

[musicfreakcc]

Stairs.

[elevatorfan762]

Is the Sundial restaurant caused any damage as of the tornado?

[elevatorfan762]

Is the Sundial restaurant caused any damage as of the tornado?

[musicfreakcc]

It's open. There were a couple of broken windows there.

[Biglele208]

But the scenic elevators were not running

[Baytrail]

What is on 71?

[musicfreakcc]

71 - The restaurant.

72 - Restaurant Check-In and Observation Deck

73 - Lounge and Bar

[Baytrail]

Isn't 73 the restaurant? And how do you get to 71 if the elevator goes to 72?

[Baytrail]

How the black and blue crap do you get to 71?

[musicfreakcc]

71 - The restaurant.

72 - Restaurant Check-In and Observation Deck

73 - Lounge and Bar

[Baytrail]

How do you take an elevator directly to 73? and where's floors 1-4 in this building?

[musicfreakcc]

Floors 1-4 consist of a parking garage. There is an express elevator (the scenic glass one) that goes right to level 72, which is closed now due to the damage from the tornado. The elevator entrance is right on floor 5, near the main elevators.

[Baytrail]

How do you go directly to 73?

[musicfreakcc]

You can't. You have to go to 72, and take the stairs up to 73. They do have an elevator that goes from 71-73, but you have to be disabled to use it.

[Baytrail]

How do you go to parking?

[musicfreakcc]

Valet only.

[Baytrail]

You mean like an employee elevator.

[Baytrail]

The Peabody Orlando has the same concept as the Westin. Is there an outside parking lot?

[Baytrail]

Never mind.

[Baytrail]

Is the valet private access?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes, on floors 1-4. There is an above-ground lot nearby for self-parking.

[yuumyyum101010]

That Sundial resturaunt haas very good food!

[Biglele208]

Did the tornado really damage the Westin Peachtree Plaza?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes.

[Biglele208]

I thought it just damaged the windows

[musicfreakcc]

Correct. From the looks of things, there might have been some more significant damage done to the elevator structure.

[KWolfM]

Why this elevator wasn't starting up at the beginning? O_o

[musicfreakcc]

The controller was screwed up. I had to open the doors, then close them again to make it work! And the elevator was just modernized 2 months ago!!! The old elevators had bad brakes, and would jump about 10 cm whenever someone would disembark and the new one had a broken door for a long time (which was fixed).

[alpaljl]

is there an elevator from 72 to 73

[musicfreakcc]

Yes, but that is only for the disabled, the signs state that an employee must be requested in order to ride the elevator.

[Biglele208]

Just take that elevator!

[musicfreakcc]

It needs a key.

[Biglele208]

Just take that elevator!

[elevatorfan762]

Did you eat at the sundial restaurant?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes

[alpaljl]

i saw one at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco...never ate there
