HORRIFYING Otis Autotronic elevators @ 360 Chicago John Hancock Center Streeterville Chicago, IL

These are some of the most scary yet fun elevators I have ever been on. These are my 2nd ever 1800 fpm elevators & 2nd fastest I’ve been on. I absolutely love everything about these elevators even if they shake like a motherfucker when going down. Also the service panel open makes it 10x more fun.

Nice to have the attendant grant the request for a round trip elevator ride.

[@PlanetEscalators]

Yeah I was really glad he let me.

@@PlanetEscalators why didn’t you press the buttons in the service panel?

[@PlanetEscalators]

@@hilo2-est3-elev bc I don’t have that much balls I would probably get arrested if they saw me pressing that. If I pressed 1 floor on it I would’ve definitely pressed 44 to go to the residences.

[@WDLawless]

Before the modernizations, Car #1 had a stop at the 44th floor, which is the Residential Sky Lobby. This is why you see the rear door in that elevator.

[@PlanetEscalators]

Ohh that’s interesting. I was wondering if I could get off there I was actually really tempted to press 44 in the keypad on the ride down. I’m assuming it would work.

[@ninteenth]

And probably because the lower indicator stops at 44 before turning to ez

[@blueauraretriever]

Epic & awesome even if they malfunction

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Go to 5:35 to see the other indicator in action.

[@austrianelevators696]

Nice and very fast elevator

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

Those are really cool but dangerous!

[@jonathangarcia9617]

Nope they are not dangerous at all. 3:39 ❤🎉.

@@jonathangarcia9617 there were incidents regarding these elevators a few times from what I heard

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

@LittleRockElevators last time, their cables broke and lead to Overspeed and eventually crashed at 12th floor. People were stuck for sometime before they were rescued

Oh my god, this elevator is faster than Sydney Tower eyes

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

There is one in Portland that does 26 mph.

[@MattytheKrabbyPatty]

When was this modded?

[@PlanetEscalators]

I don’t think it is

[@westinghouse14]

00:00:57 *_presses 94 even though it is already pressed_*

[@PikaMatt07]

*tries to press 95 and 96 when the elevators can only go to 94*

[@210MichiganRails]

Probably she didn’t know he didn’t press it already or already pressed. & Why would u put the time like this 00:00:57 😂 bruh

[@mariokart8715]

They were slap on or fully modded more recently.

[@PlanetEscalators]

No
