Intu Watford - Scenic Elan Lifts, but has anything changed? 

It's a good job that the other lifts have them though!

Thanks! They are indeed. Woking has some quite rare Fujitec glass lifts, they're quite interesting.

They are very nice lifts indeed! Rumour is going around that someone may have tripped over the lift pre dooring as they were being impatient to exit without looking.

Michal M Ah right that must’ve been why they disabled it. That is one of the disadvantages with pre doors is it allows people to jump between the landing and the car while the lift is still in motion although fortunately most lifts tend to pre door a split second before the pre start so you’d have to do it on purpose to be able to trip over it as no one would have the chance to do it before the lift stops although quite a few old lifts like the one in my local House of Fraser (which is an old Keighley that has been partly modded but has the original controller) often opens the door as the lift starts to level making it far too easy to step out the lift before it comes to a stop, in fact you can even put your foot on the lift car while standing on the landing you’re on which isn’t that safe

@@blue.light.fazbear I see. Well there wasn't much of a problem here to be honest, they could have just set them up so they stop closer to the floor.

Just a small glitch in the programming I suspect.

It does not appear so.

These lifts have been modernised. No working Schindler controllers remain unfortunately.

@@MichalM ? I am talking about both these and the 2 tucked away lifts. Also do you remember that Miconic B controllers still exist in Croydon and Uxbridge.

@@NCHLT Oh you mean they used to have those controllers? I don't know, do you know of any engineers who used to work on these? They would know what controllers these used to have.

@@MichalM What controllers do they have now?

@@NCHLT They would probably have installed the most advanced controller they could afford at the time of modernisation. Could literally be anything as there are a lot of controllers out there, I know TVC Ethos controllers are popular, so are Lester Controls.

Yep, the Glades is on my list of places to visit, I like the Kone and the Zeta Modded Schindlers there. It's a shame these lifts lost their pre doors, I've contacted Intu Watford for further comment. Still very nice though, they're glass and still fast!

Oof who would turn off pre doors on an ecodisc?

Michal M well maybe it was having problems with predoor on

@@northernirishlifts What problems lol?

Michal M idk Lol

Indeed!

Oh nice! Did you get to see these lifts? It's air conditioned in there so not too much of a problem for lift filmers in the shopping centre! :)

I went there on 22 Dec 2021

Sorry for the late reply. How was your trip? Did you enjoy the lifts?

I've seen it! These lifts are nice, are you planning on filming these?

@@MichalM I Know

@@miahaskurti4539 Are you going to come to Watford and film them at some point?

@@MichalM No

Indeed! It would have been better with pre doors, however I've seen worse!

@@MichalM Yh it's not as bad as lester (see the john lewis lifts), these do still accelerate nicely.

@@wolfdevil9771 Yep, and yep, I agree! Those Lester's are AWFUL! I think I filmed but they were so inefficient and uninteresting that I haven't even uploaded the video of them yet!

Don't worry about it, there may be a reason.

and why call it mall as in the uk we call it shopping center

@@robloxfan4271 I suppose it's because there are 2 shopping levels.

Which kid?

How was it? Were the lifts working?

Yes

Hope you like it!
