I cant get over how bad this elevator sucks since it was modernized. It used to feel like a rocket taking off when it was relay controlled. it had the classic otis feel..

Wanna see some badass elevators, check out the Thompson center or Water tower place. If I could drive around in that elevator I'd pick up mad chicks.

These elevators are super fast! It made my ears pop when we went to the Signature Room. It was like ZOOM you're on the 96th floor.

Wow. I didn't know that these high rise elevators used such high horsepower motors.

And the Landmark Tower uses 600 hp motors.
musicfreakcc 3 years ago

I think so, since the World Trade Center elevators used 500 hp motors.
CaptainElevator42189 3 years ago

That elevator has MUCH more power than just 15hp. Maybe >200 hp.

@oblivion2234 Chicago is a very accessible city to say the least. Toronto is also one of my favorites.
