I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS! My former job had a route to Miami and Grove Oklahoma where I'd pass Vinita every day. I quit because if deiselducy reads this, I think you'd understand what I mean when I say that as a truck driver, I wasn't about to be on the hook for a DOT Violation that they had the intention of me commiting. I actually stopped by here in 2014 also, on my way to St. Louis, and I can't remember if they'd already modded to Kone, or if they were still Montgomery Hydros, but knowledge of them being Montgomery Hydros does ring a bell, despite it being long enough ago that I can't remember.
Thats pretty neat seeing how they built the restautant with a big bridge to connect to both sides. Very clever! Especially since they didn't have to make two separate McDonalds restaurants. It turned out to be a convenient travel plaza afterwards after seeing your video. Looked a pretty neat McDonalds in the past!
I wish this were STILL the world's largest McDonald's! I guess that title now goes to that big one in Orlando that Julien (RU-vidr Floridian Elevators) recorded several times -- both the old and the new one.
Stopped there with my parents in the old McD days. The elevators were super creepy. Old gray boxes with dim tray lighting that barely worked. I was almost afraid to use them.
That Kind of looks like the elevator at the Oregon Museum Of Science And Industry (OMSI) In Portland with there being a spot where there is not a piece of glass so you can hear the motor But it had Innovation It may have been to loud to hear.
Kone is actually pronounced Con Nay as they’re a Finnish company. You should research Kone. This is defiantly one of America’s better Kones. Kone are epic but the Montys will be missed too.
Okay I do have to admit (and I know I'm probably going to get "dissed" on by a bunch of KONE-fans in the comments...) These are "okay" KONE elevators. I mean, I've seen worse before (**ahem... Roosevelt Field on Long Island); but this is probably one of the better installations, and even prettier looking ones in North America. Probably because most of all; they're glass.
