ROUGH STOP! on Vintage 1971 US Hydraulic Elevator - Halloween & 20,000 Subscribers Special

Filmed on June 7, 2018: First off, Happy Halloween to everyone! Second, THANK YOU SO MUCH for 20,000 subscribers!!!!! :D What a better way to celebrate is a ride on an amazing old vintage US elevator at the Mardi Gras Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. This is the second elevator in this facility, which I also featured a quick ride on the first one at the end of this video. This elevator is an AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE!!!! :D :D It levels regularly, then it literally jolts very abruptly right when the door opens! Notice when someone called it on the 2nd floor, the elevator bounced so hard (3 times) after it reached its destination. The door did not even open to where the person called, it just continued on its way down to the first floor. The motor on this one is epic than the one I rode at the end of this video, and when I rode the first one in a separate video. This is what I call a GREAT way for Halloween! :D Also a ride on both of the vintage old US elevators with the square buttons from 1971 in celebration for 20,000 subscribers. BEST WAY to make an entertainment!!!! :D :D :D Installed in 1971.

I wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween! 👻 🎃 Also, thank you so much for 20,000 subscribers!!!! 🌟🤩🤩 Skip to 1:50 to see the 2 button lighting up automatically like a “ghost” or “haunted house”, and 1:56 to see the AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE! 😂😂😂

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

JimLiElevators You too!!

[@TransportANDanElevatorFan7776]

You too!

[@LocoRails79]

I would’ve screamed if this was faster than a roller coaster!

[@clarkinthedark1]

Love that motor sound!

[@icecolespears]

That elevator reminds me of the one at the Ashley Furniture in Ballwin MO but a little bit bigger.

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

Congrats on 20,000 subscribers Jim!

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

EPIC MOTOR!

[@STUAA2024]

Now this is what I call, a Halloween trick on a old US Elevator

[@CYBEREMERALD2023]

Awesome elevator

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

EPIC DRY POWERED TROMBONE MONTGOMERY MOTOR!!!!

[@Nicholas992]

Happy Halloween

[@FloridianElevators]

Definitely not in the best condition, but seems to be a blast to ride!!!!

[@ScottySullivanYT]

Epic motor!

[@abisaiarellanes2274]

Congratulations, Jim! I know that Halloween plans may be canceled, due to a tornado in the Houston area. That happens also last year.

[@abisaiarellanes2274]

Update, Halloween are not cancelled on my area.

[@Twentythree33]

If this had a mini donut vending machine in it, it would make an awesome amusement park!

[@OPG2711]

Neat door track.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

That laugh 😂😂

[@JimLiElevators]

That elevator did something strange at 1:56.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

JimLiElevators Ik. It's like a Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

[@nokian9535]

1:58 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@themaddasher7783]

Epic F-pitched motor!

[@TransportANDanElevatorFan7776]

The motor is good, but if it makes rough stops, I would D*E!

[@giadapastorello4165]

Well lol most of the old elevators in Italian apartment blocks are like these, you even have to open and close both the inner and the outer doors manually

[@user-yn9pi9ij8m]

Hey Jim! The problem of the Mardi Gras Hotel elevator was that it had an malfunction brakes that is not replaced yet. I do not know if it is replaced or not and I moved into California. It just tells how old it is and how horrible it is.

[@mrsnguyenthitramy6881]

oh my god

[@FloridianElevators]

I'm seriously thinking the issue here is a broken relay that prevents it from leveling along with poor maintenance. I rode a 1959 Single Speed Otis in Myrtle Beach recently that is WORSE than this one!!! (I think!)

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

I went there today to experience this but unfortunately, it's fixed now 😭😭 but it's still Original

[@xorcha4541]

Jim, maybe the elevator’s hydraulic cylinder piston is just broken or I don’t know

[@JimLiElevators]

Probably a controller glitch I think.

[@GaryBeltz]

Could the first elevator be low on oil?

[@JimLiElevators]

I don’t know.

[@TXMNElevators]

I've been on many elevators that acted as amusement park rides, but that one seems worse than any one I've have seen for quite some time.

[@FloridianElevators]

The reason why you only see 1 call station on an intermediate floor, is this thing uses a nonselective, non collective controller and can only take 1 call at a time...

[@FloridianElevators]

This thing could be Single Speed, but not sure...

[@JimLiElevators]

I don’t think single speed is used on hydraulic elevators, only on traction.

[@FloridianElevators]

@@JimLiElevators I was thinking the same too, but after watching this, idk....This thing doesn't level at all, just plops...Could just be a broken relay that prevents it from leveling...This place looks like a dump so poor or lack of maintenance would make sense....

[@JimLiElevators]

@@FloridianElevators Yeah, I showed you this in the Facebook video call. Remember?

[@FloridianElevators]

@@JimLiElevators Yes

[@hotelfan9936]

i hate to say this to you but i think it's best for those elevators to get modded sometime soon

[@JimLiElevators]

This thing probably isn’t maintained at all, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets modded although I do hate mods. Both of the elevators and this motel are in very bad shape and showing their ages!
