ThysenKrupp (originally Otis) Traction Elevators at Galleria Financial Center in Houston, TX.

These beautiful elevators are really something to be in love with 😍

[@aaronrodriguez7568]

We used to visit the Houston Galleria all the time when I was a kid. I remember the Financial Center elevators literally never took you to the correct floor. Like you'd be on the 4th floor and press 1, but it would take you up. Boy, was it scary!

I been wanting to ride these since I was little, and in April I went here for an ice skating trip for academic success from my school and we were allowed to explore the mall but we were told by the principal to stay in groups. I saw these elevators but I remembered what the principal said. At one point the group of friends I was with went into a store I wasn’t really interested in but they started examining stuff so I asked if I could take a quick ride and my friend Evan told me ok but to make it quick. So I rode up and down and returned. I wanna go back to that time I had too much fun.

When I was little I loved these too. Back then they were Otis touch sensitive with the circle neon buttons inside and out. The staff called them jaws though cause the doors closed really fast and door open was right at ceiling level.

Very nice video and elevator! I really love how you use MS Paint in your thumbnails and animated elevator. It adds a fun touch.

It looks like those elevators were quite busy!

No 4th floor I noticed that

[@catboypjmasksakaevangarcia1671]

1:09 “Floor three going up.”

[@notactive19717]

How do you know that it’s a TK

[@JimLiElevators]

I think by the sound of the voice and/or somebody told me who I can’t remember.

[@colourcoded25]

What's that rectangle around the 2nd, 3rd & ground floor buttons? was there something that used to be there before & was replaced?

[@JimLiElevators]

That is to notify people that both floors are shopping levels.

[@colourcoded25]

JimLiElevators wow! Thanks! I never knew that 😃

[@anthony020501]

Are these elevators still on their original controllers?

[@JimLiElevators]

No, they are replaced.

[@ojaaviation]

Was it a hotel

[@JimLiElevators]

No, it's an office building connected to the shopping mall.

[@catboypjmasksakaevangarcia1671]

“Floor two going it at 0:37.”

[@catboypjmasksakaevangarcia1671]

1:40 “Floor 12 Going Down.”

[@hotelfan9936]

that is a nice elevator but just asking why do you always cencore people's faces while filming!, i think it's more appropriate to just put the camera down rather then just edit the video to a unclear shape

[@JimLiElevators]

Because if anyone finds out in any videos that has their faces in without permission, I could get sued. I also do not want to slam the camera (by jerking) away from people's faces, otherwise it's gonna provide a very bad video quality. Most of my viewers do not like that and have told me of that.
