Thank you so much for making this video. My family and I used to come here every year since I was 13. My brother, cousin, and I would play tag on these elevators! It’s so nice to see how I remember it 💜

[@DieselDucy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@georgef551]

I believe "Banjo" referrs to one that slips as it starts and/or stops, giving you that not-so-smooth feeling.

[@tstbad59]

I’ve ridden those elevators, I live an hour away in Georgetown Kentucky, not everyone in our state is a drunk hillbilly, it’s nice.

[@facingthewind]

I rode this last week! That part where you go through the ceiling is freaky.

[@user-ny1rv4ib9c]

These are amazing!

[@trepo757]

these are my favorite elevators to ride!

[@ProductionsLand]

That's my favorite hotel! I used to go down there every summer but we havn't been in about 3 years.

[@ryansenzig7002]

These Elevators are Traction Elevators!

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@collinnorwood8434]

I really like the lantern chime on the 16th floor.

[@collinnorwood8434]

I have to agree. It is a beautiful hotel. It is awesome how a fitness center is up on the 18th floor

[@kanebowser-wieser3667]

GTWDD Good Times With DieselDucy

[@jonathangarcia9617]

Nice video

[@ultraeric]

That is one hell of a Dover Banjo

[@LittleRockElevators]

Really nice

[@sportstime87]

love the colour of the PTL buttons

[@fatapolsky5711]

I love theese things

[@suzzex]

Once a banjo always a banjo! :)

[@TJElevatorfan]

nice elevators, They're glass that's a plus, pretty nice hotel too

[@HeelerHouse]

And they are expensive. 118 dollars is the cheapest rn i got the 2 room suite with balcony. They throttle wifi and parking is 20 dollars/night

[@Windowsbuildgeek]

Cool!

[@ex5138]

Nice Adams survivor mod.

[@MAR_24LookedAtYourVid]

Obviously this is nicer then the days in princeton.

[@rickbeelman5663]

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks!

[@jackx.cassway]

The door operator sounds like a Dover door operator.

[@romphonix]

You should come back to louisville one day. They have some VERY interesting elevator. I went to one hotel, and they had speaking elevators!

[@isaiahheid9000]

+Diesel ducy those elevators are cool I live in Louisville and have stayed in that hotel

Video response: (R) AWESOME 1985 Dover Traflomatic II Traction Elevators at the Uptown Tower in Albuquerque, NM

[@realknoxvegas]

I've been in that very elevator before lol.

[@Techmatt167Official]

i like when u get to the cieling.

[@suzzex]

@georgef551 Banjo is the term for any Dover traction or any bad traction elevator. All Dover tractions are banjos, whereas with OTIS, Monty, etc., only the bad ones are banjos.

[@ryantossell6694]

It's called the Club 360 Fitness on the 18th floor.

[@williamsr06]

Have You Been To Newport KY? Because I'm Going There This Thursday.

[@Techmatt167Official]

i like the elevator

[@jackx.cassway]

My friend was asking why you didn't get off at 18. And 2 more things. 1, that beep is annoying. It sounds like a smoke alarm. And 2, I think the service elevators are banjos. And the main ones were modded by Murphy.

[@georgef551]

@suzzex Oh, The slipping is what I thought it meant, because the Banjo listed lifts I seen, had jerky camera movement, from jerky operation. I figured the cables, when slipping, vibrate like "Banjo Strings" when that happens. Guess the def is a little more open than just that. One of the Best Westerns in NYC had big-time ones. I nearly jammed my knee stepping into one of theirs. It was the one touted as World's Largest BW in the mid 80's.

[@SamSitar]

@TJElevatorfan i agree. riding this elevator would be fun. sometimes the highest floors do different things. their lobby is spectacular. how do you take a still while you are filming?

[@vatorhunters]

These used to be Dover classic

[@TJElevatorfan]

@Balarick either take a photo on 2nd ride when not filming or dad takes a photo with iPhone.

[@bpmagruder]

I saw some elevators at 2:22; are those staff only elevators?

[@patriciacollins8843]

These are fast elevators

[@ElevatingNoCo]

Are those EPCO Chimes

[@vatorhunters]

Maybe a banjo ???

[@riddlespitter9037]

This building has 18 floors.

[@DieselDucy]

yep.

[@riddlespitter9037]

It's located in Louisville KY.

[@elevatorsinisraelbynoamzeh7909]

A door which opens and closes is doing sound like the wind

[@KMWES11]

Elevators in Israel by Noam zehavi ikr

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Fitness centre on 18

[@nikivasquez]

This elevators was modernize by Kone.

[@firecasts]

ohh

[@aydenwarren4637]

Why did you start at the 2nd floor?

[@DieselDucy]

i dont remember.

[@fatapolsky5711]

Fitness Center 18th Floor

[@msj191961]

How can you tell these are Dover? I do notice the Dover Repulse (that's what I like to call Dover Vandal Resistant) fixtures but everything else appears to be Fujitec. Most high buildings like this use Fujitec elevators. These might be FujiDovers. LOL!

[@ElevatorDude]

Dover brailles on each & every floor.

[@BluegrassElevators]

These are soon to be modernized! :(

[@riddlespitter9037]

You stopped 2 floors to look at the guest rooms.

[@DieselDucy]

I don’t remember

[@opheliaropen6249]

this hotel has 18 floors. the tallest hotel in the world

[@RohrbachNotDiscovered]

@@opheliaropen6249 The tallest hotel in the world is actually the Gevora Hotel in Dubai (75 stories tall)

[@NathanDavisVideos]

You should have gone on the service elevators as seen at 2:22 while you were there because they appear to be original.

[@tobeysze641]

Nathan Andrew Davis Can't ride them you know.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Are they like locked off?

[@tobeysze641]

Nathan Andrew Davis Yeah.

[@KingsDominionUpdates]

@@tobeysze641 no I stayed there this entire weekend they are just props

[@charliegallivan8784]

I wonder if schindler got paws on these. Did they?

[@tobeysze641]

Charlie Gallivan Stop saying Schindler. Bugger.

[@Rollinggirl39]

I believe Kone did last I checked.. my friend said

[@fatapolsky5711]

Maybe Im Byust because im 10 min away from it but still

[@charliegallivan8784]

Toby Sze it's true

[@PL1Lifts]

Charlie Gallivan they didn't.

[@tobeysze641]

PotatoLift1 Thank you.

[@davidgessler]

No 13th floor! what??

[@therealchapdala7131]

Superstitious people would probably sue the hotel if it included a 13th floor because they wouldn't want to live on a floor with a number that represents bad luck.

[@sarahedwards2]

@dieselducy 0:45 What happened there?

[@jdla2092]

Ftt

[@carselevators930]

Too bad these are now modded again.

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah
