Westinghouse ULTRA-FAST Elevators (High Rise) @ the Munich Re Centre in Toronto ON (HD)

Riding the extremely fast elevators serving floors 19-31 (High-Rise) at the Munich Re Centre. These are one of my most favourite elevators! Sorry about my dad having to go to the bathroom LOL! I got to ride the elevators that served the basement and the ones that didn't. I think this elevator reached 1800FPM. Fastest Westinghouse Elevator I've ridden on! And filmed! Re-uploaded in HD

Nice elevators, and very fast indeed.

[BigElevatorDude707]

They sure are! Toronto is the place for 1600+FPM elevators! :D

[escalatorgeek881]

They look like Otis elevators.

[BigElevatorDude707]

Pretty similar.

[myotismon767]

That is a cool elevator.

[BigElevatorDude707]

Indeed it is! But the speed is the best part of it! =D

We don't have anything as fast as these in lil old Saskatoon, our tallest building is 28 floors. We're the violent crime capital of Canada though!
