Hello and welcome! In my spare time I travel across the country continuing the trend of elevator enthusiast content which is growing every year.
Please note, in my video titles, when referring to the parts or models of an elevator or other machinery, by default I will use the most commonly used terms. If you are certain a commonly used term is incorrect, please provide a credible source. Thank you.
FL removed the toll booths on the Suncoast Parkway years ago. I appreciate the speed of using automated system but I do miss having a quick couple seconds chat with the tool booth personnel.
For those who couldn’t read the screen: “Welcome foolish mortals to the Walt Disney World Transportation System. This macabre motor coach is heading to Magic Kingdom, home to the Haunted Mansion.” “And now we invite you to relax and enjoy the ride to Magic Kingdom. Just beware of hitchhiking ghosts!” There is a second spiel mid-journey advertising Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party but I did not record it sadly.
Not always, we take care of our efficiency with the no oversight of effectiveness. When there is winds over the surface of an airport's runways, the winds may not be as strong as say for an A321 or a B737, so unless the wind is a tailwind, the less strong winds than the magnitude of winds that would be a factor for such airplanes, will not be a factor and the ATC can launch more aircraft that way, saving a ton of time and communication effort. Departures become a lot easier. But going back to winds, the stronger the winds are and the more 90 degree angular to the takeoff roll direction of the airplane which is pretty much the runway direction (that's how runways are numbered by the way; they are numbered based on the magnetic direction that the pavements face) the winds are, the more crosswind components are which is specifically the factor that pilots need to be really aware of. When that crosswind component exceeds than the maximum crosswind components for takeoff and landing of the aircraft is allowed by the manufacturer and the test engineers and pilots, then that airplane is neither taking off or if taken off somehow, not landing for the same airport. Has to be elsewhere. But as long as the crosswind component is not as much as or more than that value, then the airplanes can takeoff even if the winds are not completing attacking the airplane head on. But obviously safety is definitely important, so the pilots must ensure that the crosswind components are well below that maximum demonstrated crosswind components prescribed by the manufacturer for the specific airplanes. Remember that these are big commercial jets, obviously you have to pay a lot more attention to when you are operating a training aircraft such as a Cessna 172 or a Piper Warrior II, or a say a Piper Seminole. Hope that helps. Ty.
Until now I had no idea that Montgomery made black button elevators. Someone told me that there’s 9 elevators in this building; so far I’ve found 7 (including this one) and the other 6 were all vintage Montgomery with square buttons, including the freight elevator which I have not attempted to ride. So I may be changing the video title later from Otis to Montgomery. Also this video was short for two reasons: Time constraints and I believe this is used as a service elevator.
Welcome to the 21st century. 😝 Here in Sydney Australia, our last toll booths were removed (replaced by electronic tag systems) in 2009. Other toll roads had electronic tag systems many years earlier. Sydney drivers hate toll roads - but we haven't had to stop and pay for a long time. Was the Kansas Turnpike a 'late adopter', or are there still many toll booths in operation in the USA? (Hawaii is the only state of the USA I have visited, so I really know very little about the USA)
There are a couple states that still use toll booths, including Oklahoma and some of the toll roads in Orlando (even though Florida's Turnpike had recently transitioned to license plate billing). In comparison, Colorado's E-470 transitioned to cashless tolling all the way back in 2009, so I was curious for a long time as to why high-speed tolling didn't happen in Kansas until now. In my opinion, I know it seems risky but it would be cool if this technology was implemented in airport parking garages.
I would call it a late adopter from what I have seen most international tolls still have stop and pay areas with a toll pass lane interesting to see how the Aussies have completely automated it
Unfortunately I believe it makes sense, since the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland has a similar (if not identical) ride system / layout. I think the difference is the bridge over one of the tracks of the loading station; here there is only one elevator instead of two, and the second floor is both the queue and exit. Additionally, I believe this elevator is only for the handicapped and NOT single riders, because to my knowledge there is no single rider line for Dinosaur, and the elevator simply goes down to one of the unload platforms, presumably where wheelchair guests transfer to their "time rover".
Sometimes there will be a CM guarding the handicap door but there wasn’t one this time so I got lucky. There is indeed a cast members only sign upstairs (if you try to get to this elevator without riding the attraction)
After further research I discovered the library in its current state opened in February 2004. This building dates to 1968, but as part of the 2002-03 renovation and expansion, the east exterior facade now replicates the original 1910s Carnegie Library building.
I am well aware of the rumor that a classified document suggests that Series 5 and 6 are swapped. For the time being, any reference on my channel and my comments to “Series 5” is a reference to the fixtures on this elevator, for example.
At the moment, if you arrive at the B or C gates, the train is the only way out, and vice versa. As far as I know, they only bring out buses if they believe it is necessary. They ARE considering adding bridges between A and C, but are obviously worried about cost. Are there other solutions though? Could the rumors be true about extra tunnels existing that are NOT used for luggage or anything else? Could we sacrifice a couple gates to build a gondola high above the tarmac between A and C? What do you think?
I don't know where this video was taken, but here in Ludington Michigan it's the same. One side of the front, the doors enter on the right, while the other side the left one is the entrance door. 👍
@@kennysellars7972I think it’s so that traffic coming from the checkout lanes does not cross traffic entering the store. The doors on the left hand side of the store are “backwards” because when entering through that side, the checkout lanes are on the right.
