All 4 Otis Gen 2 Elevators at Carilion Riverside Parking Garage Roanoke, VA

(January 2024) These elevators are definitely standing the test of time. They still run incredible even in 2024. Enjoy as we ride all 4 elevators here and walk the steps for a roof top view. It is SO interesting going back and watching older videos of these and seeing how the view has changed out the window. Does anyone remember being on the live stream when I filmed this?

These elevators still run very well for a modern elevator. Otis makes great quality elevators

[@DieselDucy]

They really are.

[@GoofyAhhParker]

Fr they really make great quality elevators

[@elevatorsareamazing9379]

These run very well! Very glad you were able to return to this parking garage! I watched your old videos of these elevators, but now that it’s 2024, those still run absolutely fantastic!!! They also level very nicely and quickly! Really love the GEN2 voice! Hope these elevators continue to live on!

[@DieselDucy]

They are great! No issues with them.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

Don't know why I skipped this place when I was in Roanoke, but knowing me, I will definitely be back here to film these elevators (and Elmwood)!

[@DieselDucy]

We can go :)

How are these almost fifteen years old already?! I remember watching videos of these elevators in 2010 when I found your channel and they were like one year old at the time.

Hello ​@@DieselDucy

[@IanGSully]

When I clicked on the video, I saw something that you don't see every day. An Otis commercial! We all know that ads can be annoying, but that one was actually kind of interesting to watch. I figured that was interesting to share.

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

What a coincidence

[@DieselDucy]

That is awesome!!!!!

These Elevators are EPIC and a Classic

Those are very nice elevators. I love the instant startup and fast leveling.

They are epic.

[@Daniel540-longisland]

The beginning reminds me of when you had your journey with TJElevatorFan. Man, those good times would never come to an end.

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome! Hope to keep entertaining you :)

[@BJMediaTransit8516]

These are the first elevators I’ve heard of that have that beautiful Otis woman voice, back in the early 2010s when I saw your older videos of these elevators.

[@DieselDucy]

Roanoke first gen 2.

Those are some high-quality parking garage

[@carselevators930]

Been a long time since you’ve filmed these! This is on my bucket list! Runs very nice!

[@DieselDucy]

Yep they are cool!

[@ProspectElevators]

Always liked the Gen2s with the Series 5 over the newer ones with the "Series 7" fixtures. Seems like ones with the latter don't always hold up well compared to the former

[@DieselDucy]

These elevators are holding up fantastic.

[@EthanTheLightnessGuy1277]

These are still in good shape :)

Even I remember watching your original 2009 videos of these lifts. There was plenty of construction happening in the area back then

[@DieselDucy]

Yep, the view has changed off each one.

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome :) Thanks for watching Zack.

[@BrandonLongwell-mw9iy]

Yes! Can you do please Hotel Tour: Holiday Inn Express in Webster, TX.

[@DieselDucy]

No. Not traveling anytime soon.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Otis Gen2s with the older fixtures (Series 4/5 or whatever) are some of the best MRL traction systems out there compared to Otis cutting corners with the newer stuff

[@DieselDucy]

These are very good.

[@thewcvb5fan319]

Sir, I counted all of the men’s lockers in both Planet Fitness locations in Roanoke, VA. The one on Orange Ave has 59. The one on Brandon Ave has 75.

Volume adjustments.

Ya think you’ll ever do a Mini ElevaTOUR of the elevators in the Wells Fargo tower? I don’t remember seeing those on this channel in a while.

@DieselDucy Are you going to film the elevators at that building that's just outside the East Elevator windows?

Maybe someday.

I think these were Roanoke's first Gen2 elevators!

[@DieselDucy]

I believe so :)

[@evana6425]

These are beautiful Otis elevators and great to see these elevators glass. I have a question for you is this a retake or you never been there before because along time ago I’ve seen these on your posts. Very good and I remembered seeing them and hearing that speaker.

[@DieselDucy]

Yes they are

[@evana6425]

Glad you got to go and retake them again Andrew

[@pafl_elevators]

I remember these from when you filmed them in 2009-2010! I wonder if this is considered a late series 4

[@DieselDucy]

Not sure.

Installed in 2007?

[@braydenellerman1936]

I'd say somewhere between 2008-2009 based on when he said "Brand new Carillon parking deck" on the 1st video here.

[@asphaltandtacos]

They are very nice elevators. I think Otis Gen2 is the best modern day elevator.

[@DieselDucy]

I believe in 2010 but not sure.

[@cakeman8406]

But I prefer the Otis Lexan than the Gen2

[@DieselDucy]

I love older elevators.
