One World Observatory at World Trade Center - Elevator Ride
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Built inside each of the observatory's elevators are nine, 75-inch displays that create the illusion that you are viewing Manhattan's skyline through glass elevator windows.
During the 59-second ride, visitors are shown a detailed recreation of New York City's industrialization and construction. The elevator appears to emerge from bedrock in the year 1500, revealing marsh land yet to be colonized, and then quickly advances to show the rapid expansion that led to the Manhattan we know today.
Equipment: GoPro Hero 4
Music: Kronicle - Let's Go - / lets-go
Plot twist, the elevator never moved from the ground floor.
I have a feeling that's it
We all know
Yeah and they have random motion sickness yeah that.

Really?? Wow
okay, I was NOT expecting that out of 1WTC. that has to be the coolest elevator ride ever. +1 for making it really cool instead of a boring ride up and down.
***** I have to say that I was not expecting that either. The first time I went up I didn't have my camera ready... I asked the crew there to go up one last time only to film the ride...
The original tower had a very boring ride up.
@@trollskullkid69 well I wasnt alive but I wanna see it
+1 for showing the south tower come...and go.....
@Umb O I have a few family members who were survivors, they thought it was touching, stop assuming dude
Just enjoy the damn ride. Your never gonna watch that video your recording
They're recording it to relive that experience. They can watch it perfectly fine while recording it.
You're*
well. when i recorded it i watched the video i recorded
Song name please?
You’re*
What really hit me is the south tower disappearing...
Katz Nothing is funny.
Katz How is that funny...😔
Pontus Axelsson are you implying that people from from Iraq or similar places would find jokes like that funny? If so that’s even worse than what @Katz said. I’m not for 9/11 jokes but implying that people from Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq would find that funny is bad.

Watching the towers rise and then fall was so saddening. 20 years later and it still hurts. Rest in peace to all.

i like how they add a little 9/11 touch at the end tho
o
how
in the beginning?
the other tower appeared at the right then disappeared at 2001 ;-;
I think I am seeing what OP of this comment is talking about. Maybe though as I am not 100% sure that is really what it is or if what I am seeing is what OP is talking about as well. Anyways, around 1:40, shortly before it goes back into 1 🌎 it looks like both towers but it's only on screen for about 1.5 - 2 seconds but is definitely what it looks like at that timestamp I noted. I probably just wasted 5 minutes of my life by commenting on a thread that was originally posted a year ago but still, it was worth it trying to let you know that you're not the only one seeing it.
Girlfriend and I went to NYC back in December and went here. When you get to the top, they do a little slide show, and these panels pull up revealing the city. Man, you dont know how tall that building is until you're at the top. Truly a terrifying but amazing experience.
One would have some real heart ❤ racing terrifying at those heights
I hope Willy Wonka knows they New York stole his elevator
:D
munchkinsmunchkin this elevator can time travel New York just made it new and improved
Only a phew would understand. 😂
Is thay why he drove a plane
LMAO I even thought "wow, this is just Willy Wonka's elevator."
LOL
It’s really sad seeing the Twin Towers going up, then back down. “Never Forget”, we remember those that have fallen during this event as it marks tomorrow.
Okay who are all the people who died in 9/11? You don't know jack shit lol.
John Boona you fucking idiot of course we don’t know everybody who died. It’s just a saying
@@loganhetke so your "never forget" is bullshit then lel
John Boona No need to be an ass
John Boona you’re a virgin we get ....
Is it possible to be nostalgic about something you've never seen? I got emotional when the ride showed one of the former towers and it's sad to think that future generations will never get to experience the former WTC
I'm one of the people that would have preferred they had built two visually similar towers there again. That made the NY skyline so unique compared to other cities. Now, it's just a memorial and a tower that looks straight out of Dubai. The magic disappeared and they never got that back. Two similar towers with reinforced security would be excellent, it would be an homage and a good message
@@theportugueselegendyeah OWTC does not look good, but it needs to be economical and I doubt anyone would want to work or rent space in a 1:1 recreation
Bro the twin tower’s faded at 2001 that’s saddening
Bruh moment
Legit pissed myself at that point
Honestly dissapointed that they didn't make a plane hitting a tower lmao
Arezz that’s actually a good thing :/
ur mom what do you mean. Would have been funny as fuck
Wow people really jumped from that high ☹️
Its crazy how high it is
Rogelio Oblea i know what i meant was people jumed from that high😔

This is the coolest time lapse ever. The South Tower showing and fading is so eerie and sad 😞
North tower*
No they’re right South Tower The elevator you’re in uses One World Trade as the North Tower
@@ajplays7241nah actually since one World Trade Center was by the former twins you can see both.
@@ajplays7241 The new One World Trade Center stands at the northwest corner of the complex, where WTC 6 stood until 2001.
The direction of the camera in this shot is pointing southeast toward the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge (clearly visible in the center of the front view).
The building that you see on the right in the picture is the northern facade of WTC 1 - the former north tower that stood south of WTC 6. WTC 2 is diagonally behind it and can also be seen very briefly and slightly offset behind it.
It is the northern front of the north tower. The new 1WTC is located in the same position as the former WTC6: at the northwest corner of the WTC site.
The view from the elevator looks east towards the East River - the Brooklyn Bridge can be seen in the middle of the picture.
This means that the right side of the elevator faces south. The north tower stood there until 2001. The south tower stands diagonally behind it and can also be seen.
On the former positions of the two twin towers is now the "National September 11 Memorial and Museum" with the names of the victims and the two structures that represent the foundations of the twin towers
Woah epic! I literally got goosebumps when the Twin Towers appeared "directly next" to the elevator!
This is the coolest elevator video I have ever seen on UA-cam, let alone one of the World Trade Center! I am impressed how they create the illusion of the elevator being outdoors floating above the city skyline
I nearly lost my breakfast and my ears hurt the rest of the day from pressure changes when I went on this elevator a few years back. It goes up so fast.
I got teary when they showed the original WTC for a few seconds 😢
0:42 😓😓😭😭😭 I loose my self after seeing one of old WTC towers. Then it disappeared
Yah😭
You actually can see both
David . K what when ur actually inside? Or in this video Too?
Jakol
Um ok
0:42 Even though I live in the uk
We will never forget
I went in this myself on a school trip. It goes so fast that your ears start to hurt, because you choose how fast you want to get to the top floor. Its so cool and when you get to the floor 103 there are like a projector attached to the windows and it goes up and then you have the view of nyc to yourself
I was freelancing at Blur when they were creating this but never saw the final results. Awesome, very well done! But the "going down" group cracks me up! I've seen more enthusiasm in elevators where everyone is looking down at their phones!
On the observation deck on one of the original towers there was a small movie theater. You sat in chairs but the floor would go back and forth and Up and down to simulate being on a plane. On the screen you are flying over the Hudson and the city until you come right up to the tower like you were flying into it. In all these years I have never heard anyone talk about that or anywhere in comments. I was there on the sat when it was announced JFK Jr plane went down. I don't remember the year was like 1999. or so. Just for reference of the time that little movie theater ride was there. Does anyone else remember it. That always stuck in my head. They filmed it with a helicopter or small plane. It was real video. Not animated. So haunting whenever I think about it.There was a guy visiting from the UK named Rowan. Just met him there and we had pizza hut and a beer on the observation roof. We also sat together at the movie. I remember looking out through one of those binocular viewer things when he asked me about the parking garage bomb. I said "ya stuff like that doesn't happen anymore". As soon as I said it I was thinking what a stupid thing to say. My female friend that I went there with refused to go in the building. The whole point for going there that particular day was to go to the observation tower. She flat out refused and she waited at the golden globe until I came back. I think the globe wasn't destroyed and they still have it somewhere. It was a spot people would use to meet up for lunch or something. It stood out from the concrete. When it was nice people would sit out for lunch in the courtyard and there was music they always had playing.
This elevator is terrific.I was there last week and it´s quick, beautiful and moving.By the way, this visit is breathtaking.
Centuries of progress all leading up to this. As disappointed as I am with humanity, I’m just as impressed as I am disappointed. This looks amazing. I hope I get to visit New York one day.
Seriously this is BY FAR the very best elevator ride i have ever seen. I have been to so many rooftop viewpoints all over the world and there are some cool ideas you can discover but what they did in One WTC is just INCREDIBLY awesome!!!!!!!! The next week I will be back in New York and I am looking forward to it sooo much and I am so angry to myself that I spoiled this elevator illusion to my friend already m(
Omg that was awesome! All elevators should be doing this WITH the music too! Bet we wouldnt have so many angry people then!
Amazing video! Well thought out, brilliantly produced and very imaginative. You packed a lot into those 2 minutes without overdoing it. And, for a nice change on a UA-cam video, music that suits the video. You clearly did your research too on the evolution of that part of New York. Honestly, 10/10 for your effort.
Yes, it was supposed to be GOING down. Typo courtesy of my lack of coffee ;-)
No! It was just a typo that I figured hours after I had over 10k views and it was too late. So many people commenting as they were the first one to see my mistake.. ;-)
New York Insights at least pull the video down and fix it and repost it... who cares about views, people are fixated on your mistake rather than the video.
@@GokouZWAR This is the video that brought this "channel" from 0 to over 1000 subscribers. The UA-cam algorithm loves it and that's the second reason I haven't fixed it. Actually, new videos are being produced showing the non-touristic side of NYC just because of this typo. Mistakes that make us to grow!
At 0:40 that building to the right is that supposed to be like the twin tower disappearing or somthin else I’m curious
Ironic
Over 500 years the clouds never change 😂
I may be 2 years late but the time of day never changed to 💀
@@brandanmorris6956 jeez I commented that 2 years ago 😂
@spawnerist LMAO yes
This looks so interesting, a piece of history, yet incredibly cool made with the flying glass elevator. Fascinating! I'd love to visit the One World Trade Center one day.
Just imagine if it had a simulation of where the planes crashed and the people in there were supposed be in the twin towers.
I thought that's what this was.
Francisco Medrano wow you guys are making fun of 9/11 don’t you?
WhatLimit first of all nice English, second of all, they didn’t even make fun of it. They just said they should have put in a simulation of the planes hitting the buildings, I myself would find it fascinating to see the impact of the crash up close. It’s not disrespectful some people just find some things interesting.
@@SpoonWolf21 r/iamverysmart
Victor the Gentleman r/woosh
You know, maybe flying back into the building isn’t the best idea...
Wow! This is an interesting insight into where virtual reality entertainment might be heading. Imagine an escape room/air soft/FPS game where walls and divider screens generate virtual reality and atmospheric controls generate fake weather conditions like a sight and sound theater experience does now. It’s the next best thing to the Holodeck from Star Trek.

I enjoyed it so much. It was cool to be in the elevator and see it
am I the only one who lost it when the twin towers showed up and then disappeared at 0:40?
thats coz osama bin laden
you mean the government
No

Yes because everyone else isn’t bitch made like you
Incredible! I lived in New York years ago and visited there in 2013. MUST come back to see that bldg.!!
Imagine they would add an Animation how 1 plane Hits the tower on 00:40 and the other Plane goes into the elevator screen. That would be crazy
And horrible
kyroxh cxnsiz crazily OFFENSIVE
@Thomas Price true
@@DuxpaOfficial a bit
Would be crazy and extremely fucked up at the same time
Just realized that the elevator ride down shows what the world trade is supposed to look like in the future when It's fully completed. Funny I was there last night and never noticed. I was too busy filming I guess....lmao!! Great job. Thanks for posting.
Every New Yorker felt those few seconds of seeing the original towers come and go
Plot twist: the walls are windows and not screens
i wouldnt believe that considering we still have flat earthers and anti vaxxers still roaming the earth
then how would the twin towers be showing up and fading away
I hope those are 4k displays
inYourFace i've been there and it's above 4k...

@@pleasednut3881 it's funny because it said gong down instead of going down, it has nothing to do with the towers falling
@@pleasednut3881 hes not saying a plane is going to bring it down hes must mentioning the typo
Guys, the elevator is real and moving around. The reason the buildings are like that is because their render chunks were set low.
I absolutely remember a news report on youtube saying the elevator and new world trade center would have no references to the twin towers except the memorial. So seeing the south tower just appear out of nowhere in the middle of the ride physically made me jump.
They also have one of those at the Empire State Building. Went there last year.
This is what I like about Freedom Tower
This would probably alleviate my fear of elevators. I can go in them, but with intense anxiety.
I always get goosebumps when they go pass the Old World Trade Center it brings back so many memories to me as a child go under the subway and just looking up and seeing those two beautiful twin towers.
Interesting. I imagine we will see more elevators like this in the future.
Yes also if you slow the video down it's lasts alot longer than a minute use the three ( *** ) dots to select video speed to 0,5 speed
Gong Down?
I realized my mistake when I uploded, but I was too lazy to fix it...
Ah, sounds like something I would do.
its like a prank
@Jimmy Neutrons big head u a little late
@Jose Ortiz na bro, you came after 2years, i came after 2days..
Anyone else notice that in the simulation they have the future World Trade Center buildings too?
I’ve been on this elevator and it makes your ears pop like hell 😂
I live in NYC and never knew that existed. Now i want to ride it.
I would love to ride that elevator!!
Custom Lioness I have, it's really awesome your ears pop going up, I have videos
Nathan Stead
Nathan Stead Mine popped more going down. But it's awesome. And the presentation once we got up to the top was amazing.
Just visited NYC 3 weeks ago, took that elevator up to the observatory. One of best experiences of my life visiting this city. I highly recommend everyone take a trip there at least once in your lifetime
I remember when I was a kid going up the elevator in the original WTC, and being SO BORED because there was nothing to do but wait. I can't even recall if there was a number or anything telling you what floor you were on, it was just a typical (but big) elevator.
It's like watching an Intro for some simcity game. I love it🤭
Omg i went on wtc this summer and even though my ears felt deaf, the elevator was the coolest things ever
Thats kinda sad how the south tower next to them disappear’s in the 200-2002 range
This was the highlight of my New York trip back in 2016.
Is that one of the Twin Towers on the right screen? 0:38
Yes
And it disappeared because......
@@wheresmyspegit they were destroyed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I can't believe you don't know about that.

@@rebelfighter5249 What if people are too young to know about it? Idiot shut the hell up, just because that is a devastating and tragic event that occurred in life doesn't mean people have to know about it.
0:41 I miss them so much
Why aren't these people even looking around, like they're even interested?
John Linnell Maybe because they work there and see it everyday.

Daniel 786 Nah there are families with kids
@@DanielPennybaker really??? That's why they are filming...
There are many elevators and one of these is for the observation deck...
I'm from Germany and i wonder about the stupidity of the American people...
Takes your breath away when your in the elevator but when get off at the top and they raise the curtain to reveal Manhattan for your first glimpse of it, wow wow wee wee comes to mind
0:41
South Tower appears
*poof*
Me: NOOOOOOOO
Thats north tower
@@barrios8043 nope it was the south
That is north tower.... north tower was closer to the rest of Manhattan
Plus... if you look on the far left of that tower, you can see the South tower.
Four years later, but still wrong. Boomeroni was right.
New One World Trade Center stands at the northern left corner of the WTC complex, where WTC6 stood until 2001. The view is looking east towards the East River (Brooklyn Bridge is in the middle of the picture). So the view to the right is south. The north tower (1 WTC) stood there in 2001 and you can see the northern facade here. The south tower (2 WTC) stood offset behind it.
I really want to go to my most favorite building in the world! (Which is obviously 1 WTC/Freedom Tower). Plus, seeing the new two World Trade Center on the animation of the elevator ride, was cool! I just really hope they built that one! Or maybe if they can try to build the other plan of the new 2 WTC
i’ve been on that elevator. it is insane!!
You know it looks a lot cooler when actually look at it with your eyes instead of through your phone’s camera
This was filmed from a GoPro, and from an obviously high up angle that suggests nobody was looking through this as it was filmed.
Find something else to complain about
1:45 plot twist they are the hijacked plane heading towards the world trade centre
Everybody knew that
Sabra Humus ?
That’s not funny. Everybody in each of those planes died. Including the lives of 3,000 people.
That wasn’t funny
LMOOO
0:43 anyone else noticed that tower on the right disappear?......
Amazing, im speechless
I went here two weeks ago, It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when you get on the elevator you go up SUPER FAST! And down too!
1:44 to 1:52 what the people in the airplanes must have felt when the planes were about to hit the towers😢
Pratyush Singh what are they supposed to feel
Kinda funny. I was there and saw it live last year about 2 days before new years and now youtube recommended me this. It's amazing to get up there tho and the view up there is beautiful (especially when it gets dark outside). For everyone that goes to visit it I'd recommend to bring some tictacs or something similiar for the elevator cuz there's a lot of force and your ears will start to hurt.
That’s so scary yet so insane!
Great weather throughout that journey 🙂
It kinda sucked when I went cuz they really packed the elevator so I couldn’t really see anything 😕
0:43 depressing the way it just dissappeared
This taught me more than history classes.
I wish they slowed down the years when the Twin Towers popped up...
1998: New Towers added ‘Twin Towers’
2001: Minor Bug Fixes
haha 🙃
Pretty sure the both officially opened in 1973.
Both towers appear at approximately 00:41. At this point, the time scale says 1970. They opened in 1972 and 1973 respectively.
Looks like something from portal two!
Yeah but let me say this right if you scared of heights coming down really will freak you da helln out
Really cool ending to have the building built around you.
Seeing the twin towers just disappearing makes me feel so sad
It goes from the 1500s to 2015
i need to go to 1WTC 😍
+Kaspar Jaakberg Me too. It's one of the top priorities on my bucket list.
+Agent E good

Zendor Graphics I’m goin to all the buildings in the complex!
We were in that elevator in 2016 were completely blown away how cool it was wished I recorded it
Mixed emotions is all i can say.
"Yo, look at this cool view!"
"Bro what is that"
"I don't know"
"What is that?"
"Oh yeah that's the elevator that flies out of the world trade center"
I always want to go to the one world trade center
It travels at 23 MPH
"Look at that bird over there"
"Isn't it too fast for a bird? It also a bit shiny"
"It's getting bigger and bigger"
I can't wait to go there when I visit NYC!
