Thanks very much for 3.5K views!
I love this lift, but there are not enough words to describe how much I want the old lift back.
True, I wish it was original, the Otis 2000 design with the unusually bigger lift looked very interesting, along with the rare and custom drucegrove announcements and when it serves L and LL. I also miss the old area where Next is and I used to go there to see the lift and to go up and down the short-distance escalators.
@@PhoscostarP380 Yeah, this lift was and is the biggest public lift in the shopping centre! It even used to have the same amount of floors as the 0-5 lifts at the riverside cp! (R, LL, L, U, 1, 2/R, L1, L2, U, 1, 2 = 6 floors)
@@Morgansliftadventures Indeed it did! I wish they allowed the lift to enter in to the next as it would have more floors
@@PhoscostarP380 yeah, the back of next is visible from the old LL entrance but isn't public so i dunno why they are showing it, they have a small gartec aritco platform lift as well
@@Morgansliftadventures Yeah, I was wondering about that too, maybe disabled entrance? The platform lift doesn’t seem to be ever working
Nice elevator and nice but early Kone KSS 280 modernization 👍
Nice
If I remember correctly, the controller is actually original, it doesn't act much like a Kone, acts more like the old lift. I still wonder how they managed to change the doors to the other side. And as every time I see a video of a lift at The Oracle with this voice, Doors Closing!
The controller has definitely been replaced and the indicators wouldn’t work with it and it has a new VF and brake system. As for it acting like how it did when it was original - all of the mechanical elements are still the same
@@PhoscostarP380 Wdym the indicators wouldn't work?
Nice! :-)
Indeed!
Do you remember those little short-distance escalators in L and LL?
@@PhoscostarP380 I do, yeah. The floor numbering on it paired with the old announcements used to be all over the place lol!
Button: LL
Indicator: L1
Announcement: Lower Holybrook Walk
@@PhoscostarP380 And yeah, I remember the short escalators and that giant ‘O’ statue that was there as well.
@@Lift.Tracker Yeah I remember all that! 😂 I loved the ‘O’ I always walked though it and even sitting in it XD. I also remember another escalator leading up to HMV, I never went up there though.
Are you sure its LCE?
I believe KCE was introduced in 2019, so considering the mod is from 2018, I think it is LCE
@@PhoscostarP380 ok. are you sure the controller isn't original? it runs just like how it used to
@@MorgansliftadventuresThe reason why it’s runs like it did when it was original is because all the mechanical parts as far as I know are original
