Your burrito is ready! In case if you couldn’t tell from all of the microwave sounding beeps.

[@jc_tuba24]

Lol

[@theliltwirp]

Ikr 🤦🏾‍♂️ The floor beeps are pretty annoying

[@theliltwirp]

And I'm thinking it may also be an ADA type of thing maybe where it can help hearing impaired passengers with sound navigation. But like he said, it would be nice if it could be replaced with a different kind of tone or something cause this tone is rather harsh on the ears

[@jackx.cassway]

72 floors? Holy cow, that’s tall! I’d be interested in seeing an elevator that tall. However, I am scared of heights sometimes. I’d be scared if the elevator dropped all the way down from the top to the bottom. That’s probably not possible, but I’d still be scared. Also, the two COPs are pretty cool.

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

The lantern chimes on these elevators were inherited from ThyssenKrupp's predecessor, the Dover Elevator Company.

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

Wow, only 4 cars. Noticed when you first started going down, it didn’t accelerate to full speed, because the controller designated it to stop. But when it went to full speed after stopping, it accelerated very fast.

[@sweetymocherla]

Huh I want to go there

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

TV dinner is ready, because there is a floor passing chime that sounds like a microwave.

[@robloxelevatorsandreactorc2108]

This lift reminds me of the McGraw Hill building in NYC

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

How so?

[@ElevatingFlorida]

is it the speed??

[@robloxelevatorsandreactorc2108]

Yes

[@VancityElevators]

its "the legacy", the building owner must have required someone to install a lift from a company that has "legacy"

[@seanluo8369]

Why didn't the arrow appear on the floor indicator when you went from 68 to 71? Is it because the elevator's trip was too short?
Imagine if dover buzzes were used

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

On ThyssenKrupp elevators with TAC50 controllers, the arrow disappears a couple floors before the floor it stops at. I’m not sure why they do that, they just do.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

4 elevators for this many floors? Who approved this? Not even destination dispatch too!

[@blueauraretriever]

8 seconds to accelerate, 8 to decelerate (timed it to maximum floor indicator rate)
28.5 seconds at full speed + 16 seconds + 2 seconds for default tk door delay = 46.5 seconds bottom to top not bad 🔥🔥

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Nope these accelerate in about 3 seconds
