This is a ride up on the Otis elevators of Tour Montparnasse, the tallest building in France with the fastest elevators in Europe.
And they felt it too! These ARE fast! And so modern! New fixtures with ELD displays, and an LED lit cab. Very nice. All for only 8 Euros! The views from here are spectacular as well (video soon).
Interestingly, the cab displays show the doors opening/closing, and shows three express zones (X1, X2, X3) which may reflect the fact that the building has four banks of elevators (including this one).

@elevatorgeek762 I never said anything about MRL at all.

@ElevatingBoston : Otis CANNOT have MRL Traction if the elevators travel thirty or more floors.
