Somehow I missed your video of these earlier, nice!! Still waiting on my chance to visit these. It's been 7 years since I learned about this place, and I can only hope it won't be another 7 years until I get to come by here!

They’re about to be key carded

[@TheElevatorGuru]

Believe it or not, I’ve spoken to some people at the hotel who say otherwise.

@@TheElevatorGuru it’s probably gonna be key carded in a year or a few months

[@TheElevatorGuru]

@@TSNY18-Animations the lady at the front desk said the hotel does not intend to key card them.

Elevatours is all about being healthy must be declined I will no longer stand with Andrew due to the fact that he is taking steps first instead of middle or end and luckily he won’t do it here

[@TheElevatorGuru]

I'm... I'm honestly not sure how I should respond to this.

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

I will not accept the steps how stupid is it to see the man the mith the legend who filmed this elevator take the steps now it needs to stop and of course i will never take the steps only ride the tall elevator when I am there
