Epic 60 Floor Dover Traditional Traction Elevators @ Cityplex Tower - Tulsa, OK

[@ElevatingDenver]

Never thought that when I found this place 3 years ago, it'd become famous for its elevators. Anyways, some interesting notes. This complex was built to be a hospital, but closed only a couple years after opening. That is why you see the service elevators being shaped and sized the way they are. If you look carefully, there are still Keyswitches for "hospital service" in each floor's elevator lobby.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah I noticed that.... this place is very strange and interesting.

[@thewildeeper]

These are in great condition!

[@elevatorfan7568]

Can’t believe these are still original

[@baelevatorsmore728]

@Elevator Fan What’s crazy is another two years later, these still haven’t changed.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I was there in 2005 but I couldn't get any elevator to leave 1st floor in any tower... everything was locked off. (Un?)interesting note... I was there to chauffeur a women's bowling team to nationals which was right next door. You can see the bldg. in your video in the bottom left @ 1:54... Riverlanes then... Andy B's now. Anyway, I'm jealous that you got to go upstairs but thanks for sharing this.

[@albert3801]

Imagine pressing *all* the buttons on that service elevator :D

[@stlelevators]

RIP to who has to go down to the lobby.

[@jacobflanigan6343]

I think they will all go out

[@cubby091398]

May be heading to Tulsa on Sunday. I may go and ride those elevators and enjoy a view. I went there many years ago with my mom and dad when I was 8.

[@cubby091398]

I just got back from St. Louis like a week ago. The Arch was awesome and the skyline was gorgeous.

[@stlelevators]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed

[@blueauraretriever]

Bro, this is an *epic and awesome* find!

[@stlelevators]

Yes it is!

[@nicksantomauro2647]

These elevators are amazing!

[@alpaljl]

Woah!! 'Nuff said. This is a find among finds!

[@ex5138]

I like that old 7 segment display.

[@stlelevators]

Me too! I actually have one that I showed on live stream.

[@logandavis408]

My grandpa installed those elevators when the building was built including others in the surrounding area.

[@stlelevators]

Wow! That's cool!!

[@elevatorsoflakecountyTV]

TwoPru Service is taller and is also Dover traditional 😉

[@greenshell389]

Reason is it is only 1 floor lower but its 992 feet

[@greenshell389]

Well only the service elevator

[@greenshell389]

This building is only 640 feet

[@joelrebay666]

what is that at 0:43?

[@greenshell389]

2:35 lol what is wrong with that bell 😆

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

7 chimes for down XD

[@SamSitar]

the bell couldn't stop.

[@cubby091398]

I also wanted to ask you why did you go from floor 57 to floor 56 to get a view of the Arkansas River and Tulsa? Is the view better on the 56th floor vs the 57th floor? T

[@stlelevators]

I believe the whole floor was occupied on 57 so we couldn’t access the window.

[@cubby091398]

@@stlelevators I am heading there tomorrow to visit.

[@cubby091398]

I went to the 56th floor and 57th floor. The 57th floor was closed off as you said. Me and my brother went to the 56th floor and those views were incredible. I estimated the height to be somewhere around 550-580 feet high.

[@ex5138]

It's funny how that little elevator goes that high.

[@missourielevators9252]

Do they welcome photography here

[@stlelevators]

I don’t know. My guess is probably not.

[@SamSitar]

long ride to enjoy the elevator.

[@IanGSully]

I like the 2speed elevator doors.

[@theelrussiano2584]

I like that led number indicator

[@stlelevators]

Me too.

[@lucasgelevatorsandmore7722]

EPIC WIN

[@stlelevators]

Yes!

[@ex5138]

4:00 Indicator glitches ever so slightly. Almost like Long.

[@stlelevators]

Haha. Long glitches are hilarious.

[@ogClockTV]

That is rare

[@williamsr06]

Is this the Dover of Dovers?

[@stlelevators]

I don't think it's the tallest, but it is certainly epic.

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

How fast is this?

[@stlelevators]

Not totally sure

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

Why is 60 restricted?

[@stlelevators]

I don't know

[@firesurfer]

@@stlelevators Looks like it's an unused restaurant. Did you go to cityplex west? Is it empty?

[@stlelevators]

I'm not 100% sure

[@cubby091398]

@@stlelevators I went up there to the 56th and 57th floor yesterday. I don't technically think you are supposed to go up there but I don't think it is a really big deal.

[@stlelevators]

@@cubby091398 It might have changed since I was there.

[@cubby091398]

@@stlelevators I wouldn't think very much has changed. Your vid looks like the one I recorded yesterday. I also pushed the buttons for 58, 59, and 60 and they wouldn't work for me either.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

@@cubby091398 I suppose as a bit of an update the 57th floor is now occupied by a local radio station. I went there and filmed not too long ago.

I hope these don't get modded!

[@stlelevators]

Me too!!

[@jackx.cassway]

that one elevator didn't have the express zone

[@jackx.cassway]

13th floor!

I think that was technically the "service" elevator.

EPIC!

[@notactive19717]

Wait...this is the TALLEST!? I thought Devon Tower was the tallest building in Oklahoma!?

[@stlelevators]

This isn't the tallest in OK

[@BritishAPT]

Ooh floor advancer

[@TechNerdNolan]

That's probably the tallest Dover in the world

[@stlelevators]

It's really hard to tell.. I think there's some that have less floors, but are actually taller.

[@TechNerdNolan]

STL Elevators Weird

[@malaysia_guy435]

:p so Dover Tihs ok

[@ultraeric]

WOW!!!

[@MattBruns]

If you go to 55 you will go to KXOJ FM.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

@Matt Bruns They're actually up on the 57th floor. I thought it was floor 55 judging by the directory in the lobby but a security officer ended up pointing out to me that it's up on floor 57. I ended up winning a $50 gift card to Nothing Bundt Cakes a few months ago.

@@stlelevators 60 Floor Dovers. Dovers are usually Hydros or Rough/Grotty Parking Elevators. The Indicator doesn't even have a direction arrow. As someone who's claustrophobic when alone in elevators, I would've found them creepy.
