In 14 years the Empire State Building will be 100 years old.

I want to ride that elevator so badly! You know I didn't even know that this elevator existed in the Empire State Building until recently like last year or two years ago. And thank god it's still manually operated!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

"They've been having them" what? Modernized?

[@Flat4awd]

If you have never been in a manually operated elevator, there's no better way to experience it than 102 storeys up.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Electric Bird is it true that all the elevators in the Empire State Building at one point were all like this?

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Electric Bird It would make sense because at the time when the Empire State Building was built most elevators were manually operated. I don't think they began making them all automatic until the 1940's or 50's.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

Electric Bird I mean my theory would make sense. Maybe the next time you'er there; ask the elevator operator if all the elevators were all like that originally.

[@CrazyManhog]

Bro I am so they changed the elevator because the fact your watching all the floors passing by with just silence its just plain terrifying

[@Whycantichangemyhandle.]

No?! This one has sound

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

They stripped this elevator out and modded it, the relay logic and motor are now on display on the 102nd floor

[@HaywardEntertainment]

Old school elevator

[@CrazyManhog]

Boring and scary lol

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

This elevator is no longer antique it is now modernized with all 4 windows glass and some cool views

[@Railhog2102]

I wished they kept this elevator in use because the new one doesn't match with the mooring mast

Was this elevator modernized?

[@Flat4awd]

DinLin Elevator Company, I'm not sure, I can assume it's been refurbished. It's a great experience! Don't forget to drop by when in NYC

[@missourielevators9252]

I'm pissed off about it

[@EWPA14]

Lisa Schultz How do you know?

[@Railhog2102]

@@EWPA14 I went to the 86th floor observation deck and this lift was getting upgraded.

[@EWPA14]

I think they installed a whole new elevator. Not sure if this still exists but if it does it's not public anymore.

[@j_y06]
