Otis hydraulic elevators at east Broadway at the Mall of america

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I should achieve this with my 11-year-old cousin Lilly this summer!

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome. 👏 😎

[@ultraeric]

Very smart for going late. Non stop flight for 1 ride

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I wish I knew you were in my state. You should've come up to Duluth to see the Westys @ Wells Fargo with the popout lighted buttons that you've seen on here. Schindler just started their mod. The touch Otis pair @ Bd. of Trd. and several Lexans and older Otis, Westy, & Dover are still here and a few R & O GAL 1970's units are still around.

[@Ih8kone]

EPIC MOTOR!!!

[@DieselDucy]

Yep!

[@KBilt92]

Those CircleLine/Survivor buttons are my favorite fixtures. I wonder if Epco/Adams still makes that version with the recessed button surface.

[@lukerichardson1646]

This is not your average 4-story hydraulic elevator. This is at least 8-stories tall. Bet you that's why the hydraulic rams on theses elevators are so damn big.

[@ih8thyssenkrupp]

@georgef551 triple 5 group owns it. though SIMON i believe originally developed it. all SIMON malls have only coke (vending machines at least). food court stores always can choose what to serve, but i hear that here even mcdonald's has to serve pepsi because of the naming rights deal.

[@pieguy61]

one word that describes this elevator is S-L-O-W

[@alexandrawilson1998]

At 0:35 that’s an American girl store location I have never been to I love American Girl dolls the only American Girl stores I have been to were both New York City locations, the one in Chicago, the one in Los Angeles, the one in Orlando Florida, the one at the Tyson’s corner mall in McLean Virginia, one year there was a pop up American Girl store at the king of Prussia mall, the American girl outlet store in Hershey and I think that is it

[@ih8thyssenkrupp]

@KBilt92 those are EPCO Classic

[@davidbian2466]

Did the mall employees did special permission to film the elevators way after closing? I hope you didn't get into trouble.

[@DieselDucy]

I was allowed to be there

[@georgef551]

...so, it's not a Simon. Pepsi Mall. Won't be surprised if they get naming rights at some point.

[@TheWillster14]

it's not a SIMON mall because they'd be jumping on his ass saying that he's not allowed to take or film anything. i got kicked out of a SIMON mall because I took 1 picture. apparently you have to have permission to take a picture in case a random stranger is in it. it's a damn nice mall.

[@crapper1]

5stars for a pepsi sponsored mall ^_^ awsome elevators

[@clarkloveselevators]

What would the cops say since you are in your ti-die hat and shirt, filming elevators at 12:00 A.M?

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I'll quit rambling but the garage elevators at MOA were originally Otis w/ square buttons. The interior mall elevators were the ones Montgomery installed... the trucks said Montgomery/Kone but the tags were pure Monty. They did the original install @ Metrodome but were also quickly modded by Lagerquist/Dover. Bad period for Monty? Maybe they sold all their crap as Kone was buying them out? I'll shut up now...

[@TXMNElevators]

Dana Danarosana the Metrodome opened in in the early 80s though, so maybe the case here since this opened in 1992 but probably not at the Metrodome.

[@jonathancreveling8699]

How did he stay in there or even get in at closing time?

[@Ih8kone]

There is a bar in the Mall of America that is open really late.

[@IR09TheSequel]

How are you even allowed to do this.

[@DieselDucy]

I spoke with security.

[@BCsVators]

These are Montgomery originally.

[@Ih8kone]

Nope they are Otis

[@DylanLTindall]

@@Ih8kone They we’re originally Montgomery for a very short time. But they were extremely unreliable, so Otis modded them.

[@Ih8kone]

@@DylanLTindall I see no proof in that. Is that according to Minnesota elevator records?

[@DylanLTindall]

@@Ih8kone Yes.

[@georgef551]

@ih8thyssenkrupp If they have an Anarchy-Theme McD's, they can serve Coke all they want. I'm sure Coke is available behind the mall. :)

[@Dana_Danarosana]

These were installed by Montgomery and almost immediately modded by Otis. I don't know the story but I remember they ran like total shit until Otis did their thing.

[@Ih8kone]

Yeah from what I've heard these were originally Vectors and they used to be atrociously bad.

[@TheZekethunder]

Are you sure these are ALL Otis?

[@HesitantSignal]

These elevators are no longer scenic anymore...

[@lukerichardson1646]

Pyrodron Productions. That is beyond stupid. These elevators were fine the way they were.

[@Ih8kone]

Yes they are.
