A 72 Story Glass Elevator ride at the Westin Peachtree Plaza OTIS ELEVATOR

[@reeupshawty4615]

This was my very first elevator ride as a child. Thanks to this elevator I hate going over the 10th floor lmao. We had to ride the regular elevator back down lol #memories

[@alexlevingston]

I love the fact that two people are shooting this video.

[@BantiarnaMacRaghnaill]

Watching this video got my tummy. I used to ride that elevator all the time for kicks when I lived in downtown Atlanta.

[@noxious_nights]

0:39 Oooh, custom call buttons that show floor info!

[@kadenr6]

The view from the 72nd floor is amazing!

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

And terrifying too!

[@josephpruett6388]

As someone who’s DEATHLY scared of heights, I would literally have a heart attack being on that elevator

[@Red-pt6rs]

Joseph Pruett it’s really cool even at night I think their is and restaurant and observation deck up their

[@user-hf3eb8lj5g]

Love ATL shut up wimp 🖕🏾

[@THEVOICE06660]

It’s perfectly normal

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Maybe they should take the enclosed elevator instead!

[@DizJakeOG]

Same

[@jeremychannel333]

This was very enjoyable! The 72nd floor view was awesome & the second elevator looked better as far as the flooring lol; This was my first time to see Atlanta & it was amazing

[@danielmarreviews3947]

Beautiful elevators! Love those doors on the 72nd floor! Also, a lot of people might disagree agree with me, but Adams Survivor fixtures like these actually look nice IMO!

[@jimsuniverse4954]

The guy the end was like why are you filming me 😆

[@theliltwirp]

@@jimsuniverse4954 I know ! That would piss me off. I like all things related to high rises and elevators and everything but I think it was a bit rude to record the guy like that. They could've at least aimed the camera down or to the side or pixelated his face or something. I do enjoy this channel, but random people shouldn't be forced to be in your videos. Suppose the guy was out treating his mistress to dinner or something ? 🤔🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ethancampbell6076]

I have been on the Space needle in Seattle during thanksgiving break and I saw a hole lot going on like remodeling the floors and the restaurant was complexly closed.

[@LifeofRy_YT]

I see the Marquis! I stayed at 46th floor recently lol wow can’t believe this is in Atlanta!:-) one of my fav cities

[@bracebrooks967]

That's an amazing view! Thanks for posting, incase I never get to re-visit Atlanta for the 1st time since June 2008 when I was there for a family reunion. I never got to see downtown Atlanta close up back then. I just saw it from a far distance.

[@ElevatingNoCo]

That's a nice Otis. Good video Andrew

[@lucasnassar2778]

It's awesome know the lights goes down when moves,imagine who rides at night

[@JasonRandle]

Nice elevator and great views of Atlanta!

[@EWPA14]

Wish I can ride these 1 day! Also, I remember your video of these from years ago.

[@qeelevators2960]

I just rode these today and when you (if you) stay there ask for a machine room tour and upload it on your channel.

[@RainbowFlowerCrow]

@@qeelevators2960 they actually give machine room tours too?! Why doesn't every building do this?!! I'm so glad I subbed to this channel, and read the comments!☺️

[@psychedlicsouljam1995]

The fog is a nice touch 👌

[@DieselDucy]

It was beautiful.

[@josephbennett3482]

Wow that's insane and cool. Imagine how good the view is during nice days 😎👍☀️☀️🌞

[@QEElevators]

I am the only one who want to ride this during conditions like this????

[@QEElevators]

This is still one of my favorite elevator videos of all time. The vibes are insane, almost silent ride in the fog. I've always wanted to ride these in fog like this, but never got the chance to. These are so awesome, I just wish they ran at full speed.

[@DieselDucy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes they are really fun. Would love to ride the Hilton during a thunderstorm

[@QEElevators]

@DieselDucy I got to a week or two ago. I was with my friend. Btw the mod is NOT holding up well. The glass cars are leaking water, pretty much every car has flooring issues, and car 8 has a bad machine bearing. The Hilton needs a complete overhaul. The Westin was modded only a few years apart, and those still run like butter even today.

[@murphboy3411]

This is amazing!

[@aaronbays4]

Too bad is was foggy, the view must be incredible on a clear day. Personally that's my favorite building in Atlanta, very unique design. The original lobby atrium had this huge "lagoon"/water feature, like 1/3rd of the floor space was taken up by water and there were these "pods" with little bridges that went out into the lagoon. Had a huge water fountain, lots of plants. Very 70's/80's, indoor water features were the thing back then. I can see why they ripped it out though, huge maintenance expense and makes the inside of the building humid/musty smelling.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

What year were the fountains removed?

[@tylerkochman1007]

Not all that unique actually: sister buildings with the central tower of Detroit’s Renaissance Center

[@LiftsAndElevatorsOfScandinavia]

Absolutely amazing view! I think these lifts are a bit too slow for a building with 72 levels.

[@thegamer-12]

Yeah allthough it's cool that the lights auto-dim

[@kevins1824]

i like the view of the marriott marquis

[@jcarlfeldt]

I was in that same elevator car on Monday which was my birthday (Feb 11 2019).

[@kimberly11091]

That's my dad's bday

[@benjaminluo1720]

there is also a westin bonaventure in downtown los angeles you can try filming elevators at

[@DieselDucy]

I want to SO bad.

[@ElevatingChicago]

I stayed at a hotel that wasn’t too far from this one, It had these elevators but they were inside a Atrium, it was Hyatt Regency Downtown Atlanta

[@LSM_Lover]

Same stayed there also back in 2017

[@cadendutchess539]

That view is Beautiful from the 72 floor

[@johnkinder5677]

Had the original lexan buttons when I was there in 2007.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

You get to see the east side of Atlanta while on the elevator!

[@fatapolsky5711]

Nice Elevators

[@21xd09]

Very awesome elevator! And a very nice scenery too!

[@cubby091398]

That is a nice view. That is 72 stories and 723 feet high. I went to The Devon Tower in OKC and was on the 49th floor and that was 726 feet high. The Devon Tower has huge size floors that are like 15-16 feet high.

[@subhasriprasad3896]

Amazing ! But these are kinda slow for 72-storey building. These should have been going faster than high-rise bank ( 1200ft/min ) but the speed is that of the low-rise bank ( 500ft/min ) . Nice scenic glass elevators.

[@TurboGibby-bh8bu]

I kinda like the slow moving elevators!

[@zsombor_99]

👎 Why? It's glass, so you can look out while going up/down, so I think the speed is fine.

[@TurboGibby-bh8bu]

@@zsombor_99 I love the glass elevators.I was just saying that I like the long ride because you have more time to see, but if I lives there everyday, I wouldn’t like the slow elevators.

[@QEElevators]

@@TurboGibby-bh8bu I think fast ones are more cool

[@QEElevators]

They slowed them down on purpose I talked with the engineer

[@soundwave6218]

Yup you start from the Bottom you get stuck then you Go up to the Top..and people do drop out of your life and go to different levels some high some low... Good Message Nino💫

[@DieselDucy]

Lol

[@LaineyM]

Do they still have a restaurant on the top? Ate their over 30 years ago.....

[@QEElevators]

So today I got to see the main and machine room for these. The TK tech had to get buzzed in to get on the roof and the motor room for these is super tight. It is also glass door you get a cool view. Same 219HT machines as main ones, but they slowed them down because the ride was “too short”

[@DieselDucy]

I thought Otis had the contract here ?

[@QEElevators]

@@DieselDucy Nope. There is literally a room where there are a few thyssenkrupp techs in the basement. In the next mod these will be TK. There are a few original lexan hydros but those are soon to be modded. It’s so cool how this machine room is all glass.

[@oliviarobinson5642]

I love those elevators

[@jacobisworld9516]

I was at this hotel 2 weeks ago

[@Casonplayz]

Cool Elevator 🛗!

[@troyrei8481]

I kind of want it to change like yours go up to the highest floor and go and that door close thing you like on it works well kind of slow down on it and probably go to different floors

[@matthiasweltz2000]

0:39 The 72nd Floor is Amazing!

[@DieselDucy]

It is!

[@EASProductionsGaming]

This is so cool!

[@SamSitar]

what was wrong with that first elevator the day it was filmed?

[@ultraeric]

Same goes to the East Tower at Marriott World Center. Their speed is 700 FPM. Marriott Marquis Times Square (their own Schindler Miconic 10) was 1300 FPM. Marriott Copley Place (Former Westinghouse. Now TK) was like 350 to 800 FPM. Even if I come here. I should check how fast this thing goes by doing a speed test

[@ThatOneMindTraveler]

This man is crazy

[@DieselDucy]

It was epic.

[@minnesota_aviation91]

6:27 if you look closer at the Hyatt regency hotel at Polaris, you may see an elevator going up to Polaris

[@ΝΙΚΟΣΠΟΔΑΣ-μ4τ]

Mitchell RBLX yes those elevators are otis too they use the same fixtures as these ones but have a dual indicator

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

And it faces the east side!

Awesome. They are great elevators

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

I am dying to ride this elevator.

[@Elm98]

I’m not afraid of heights but something about these elevators is literally the freakiest thing to me ever. Maybe it’s the other buildings that you rise above or the thought that one cable snapping is all it takes I know it’s irrational asf but I can’t help be terrified of these

[@rodneyperry642]

like the ren-cen in Detroit

I'll save the high rise lifts for last although this ones pretty cool

[@elevatorfan7568]

[@zsombor_99]

Why is this elevator have buttons only for 1-9 and 72❓ 😲

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

It’s a express elevator for the restaurant

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

It doesn't even serve floors 1-4 or 7. 6, 8 & 9 are always locked so it's only 5 & 72.

one of these years, they are actually going to buile a elevator like this BUT as it goes up, the whole elevator tilts Forward into sorta of a leaning position which would make the ride up or down even more fun......LOL
