Do you have a video of the Thomson Center elevators?

[musicfreakcc]

Nope - you have to work for the State of Illinois to get on those.

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

[musicfreakcc]

I have been to both places. Here is my video of water tower place: v=0VStRYqyOXk

I think they speeded them up. I was just there and they were way faster than in your video

What about the St Louis arch. Do you have any video of that? Do you consider that an elevator?

[musicfreakcc]

I don't know, and I've never been to St. Louis.

[Sanosuke004]

I have been to St. Louis and you could say they aren't elevators but rather, inclinators in which the cars rotate as they head up a shaft to the top of the arch at either end.

i have been there. Thanks for uploading it.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower has awesome elevators too.
