- With two guest appearances! Alpaljl and ElevationStationProductions are also along for the ride!
And what a ride! This may be the most dramatic elevator ride I've been on yet! The noises, the shakes, this thing really feels like a death trap.
More videos from LA with Alpaljl are coming, but this is the only one with ESP.
1:50 sounds like a out of balance washing machine
Doc842 yep
(My Hope Will Never Die)
*throws brick at washing machine*
Okay, Where in Santa Monica is this dump heap of tech?
1:58 I thought that was the guy screaming for a sec 😂
0:45 “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!”
ELEVATOR SCREECHES...
When listening to the elevator going down, I can understand Alpaljl' react at the beginning
Olol
alpalJL's "Noooooooooo!" should be used in videos featuring a once epic elevator that got a modernization.
That's a great idea! I loved his reaction
The transition from the "no" to the death trappiness of this elevator almost made the video feel like the origin story of a supervillain called Schindler. Hilariously enough, I honestly couldn't help but compare alpalJL to Darth Vader at the end of Star Wars Episode III in my head! 😂
Haha, I know the scene!
Check back in a little while and see what I'm uploading tonight. Let's just say that....Schindler's track record isn't looking so good right now!
So true!!
AlpalJL's reaction was hilarious!! I really did enjoy that!
0:47 Noooooooooooo! LOL 😂
I loved it how he yelled NOOO! , and then all of a sudden it becomes a death trap
Ethan Holland yep
JR Jackson yep FRIRND.
Ethan Holland lol ikr 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO😂😂😂
(3 Nov 2019) Rode an Otis series 1 hydraulic to-day and it was a friggin Death trap. The doors kept opening and closing, and I called that condition "Doorepeadosis". Located at 303 Kirkland Ave, Kirkland WA
That reaction from alpaljl was just priceless
I just rode this a few days ago.. the elevator is fixed but the store is closing.
1:15 Minecraft piston elevators be like...
Xd
@@beedslolkuntus2070 oh yeah yeah
Notice me John Wick
XD
1:55 R.I.P. Headphone Users!
Says at 1:50:
It sounds like someone's banging on the elevator doors like he/she got left out as the elevator moves.
I can tell before reading or watching anything that this is at Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, when I rode this in January, it was really smooth and good condition.
It's already fixed.
I always laugh and imitate when Alex went “NOOOOOOOOOO!” Really I just love hearing him laugh.
His response in this video is truly epic
@@thewildeeper who is the girl in this video? YT channel?
0:45 FILECHIA
0:47 This is so funny
That is the worst Schindler installation I have ever seen! It is not worthy to have a certificate of operation!
"This store is closing" - Erik Magnuson
3:46 "There’s Mr. Security!"
*Get outta here fools!*
Love to see the machine room.
Wins the "Major Taylor Award".
(Especially if you use "Balarick" for a search term, it was proven shaky as all hell then.)
Alex seems like such a riot. He's probably fun af.
He is, and guess what- I just got some fresh content with him! Videos coming out the next few Fridays
I came back to check up on this elevator... fixed :(

This was the craziest elevator, as alex made it even more crazy.
This reminds me of the parking garage elevators at Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY when they were running badly! Those might have been worse though. I wonder if this elevator will still be this way next time I go to this area, but I assume it will get fixed.
2:30 Would it have ran with the hoistway doors open that far? I don't think they should be able to open that far.
It's already fixed. I came back since we shot this video. The doors should not open that far, but that was another issue too.
You guys looked like you were having a lot of fun! also LOL at 1:49-2:12.
This thing is wonderful...
Late comment to this video. Alpaljl's reaction at 0:47 & 1:55 made this video funnier than the elevator itself.
It sounds like the NYC subway! Haha
William Scoufaras LMFAO except there elevators are far worse then this FRIRND
Now this is one quick view.
VERY late comment to an old video, I know. But I used to constantly rewatch this video out of fascination!
I think the cause of this issue is lack of oil/lubricant on the hydraulic piston. I experienced severe rumbling on an older MontgomeryKONE hydro before, and it acted similarly to this.
The scraping when leveling going up points to my notion of the cause. A lot of people claim it's a guide rail or guide wheels/rollers, but the squeaking being caused by that just doesn't make sense to me.
Still very bizarre, but it is very unfortunate we lost this store out of relevancy. I would've loved to ride this if this store was still open.
nice video you all. What was the name of the song playing in the video?
Gotten worse with WI Siren And Elevators filmed it. But that's your fine example of a typical Schindler quality!
After he filmed it it got better. Then this happened.
I went on this before this back in March 2016 & it's was running fine
I wonder what people think when they just hear a faint voice yelling NOOOOO
sounds like a washing machine that's about to break down between that and a subway in ny passing fast alexwas funny NOOOOO
I died when he said NOOO
BTW; is this at Santa Monica Place? Because I see that landmark 1940s Sears store across the street.
A+ for that being a death trap lol
Seems like a perfect elevator😉
I'm glad that Nordstroms was busy... And I was in a rush, or we would have never come here! I'd love to see you in the future as well.
Yeah, it would be great to meet up again some time!
Should this elevator get replaced by a Schindler 5500?
THIS ELEVATOR IS WILD!
High quality elevator!
I bet everyone in the building must here this thing running! This is DEFINETLY a SIMON Mall.
Hmm.. Seems like the indicator above the lift is showing advanced position but the one on the button panel is showing exact postiton.
Also this is the worst hydraulic i have ever seen.
How that thing is still working I don't know 🤣🤣
"We invite if you dare to step aboard, cos in tonight's episode, you are the star, and this Elevator travels directly to... The Twilight Zone 😂😂
Finnaly destination all over again
I hope they fixed that!
Now that’s what I call a death trap
1:50 LOL!😆
it has the Schindler beep on the inside
best video ever
Yes 🤣🤣😅
That's no elevator. It's an unbalanced dryer. How has that not failed inspection?
ESP said it has only acted like this for under one week. Within one week of filming this, I came back again and it's fixed already...
Wow, that was fast! I bet customers complained, and Bloomingdale's wanted to get it fixed asap.
+thewildeeper This thing has been jacked up then fixed then jacked up again and fixed again. I hope history doesn't keep repeating itself...
Elevator rating: -9999999999999999/10
Ride quality: 1/10
Deathtrap rating: 10/10
I think we could easily call this the worst elevator in the US; maybe even the world.
This is.. uh.. beautiful 😅
why is it shaking
That thing runs like it’s trying to become a generic
Filechia would LOVE this one.
yeah
Why doesn’t he film anymore like CVE9120
@@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada No he's still filming. CVE9120 has quit because of his current job situation.
Family friendly fun!
Leave it to Macy's Inc. to not maintain their elevators properly.......
It sounds like a Minecraft piston elevator
Going down was the worst first. and going up was the worst next.
Im terrified of lifts
0:50 “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We've been on a similar elevator at Dave and Busters and it was fast
you wouldn't get me to ride that thing
THIS ELEVATOR HAS TWO PAIRS OF DOORS!
Shoutout to Bloomingdales in NY
And now it's kind of funny ever rode this elevator everybody is cowardly in fear. They think it was Twilight Zone LOL
where is this
This place is closed now.
Probably it’s hitting something like the shaft guides
That sounds scary
Are you also going to northern Cailfornia (or did you already go to northern California), or did you just go to southern California?
Nope, just San Diego and Los Angeles. I'm in Arizona right now, and will probably head back to San Diego soon to catch a flight home.
thewildeeper
I know of a vintage elevator near San Diego (Coronado). It is a gated Otis elevator, at the Hotel Marisol Coronado. I also know of some vintage elevators in Arizona, but I don't know which parts of Arizona you are visiting.
upanddownadventures Do you mean this one? czcams.com/video/k6l6yOf9lUo/video.html I stopped by here, because a coworker tipped me off. I didn't know about the elevator beforehand (I went for the architecture/beach view) but I happened to stumble upon it and I took a video!
thewildeeper
No, the one I am talking about is a different one. There is also a gated elevator at Glorietta Bay Inn, but I think it only serves 1 room (I asked for permission to ride it, and they said that someone was staying in that room, but if I go there when no one is staying in that room, then they would show me the elevator). Another gated elevator (this one has been filmed before) is at the Ramada Gaslamp in San Diego. The Plaza Hotel in San Diego has a manually-controlled Otis elevator, but another elevator enthusiast I think was told to leave the building when he went there (it is not a hotel, it is an apartment building).
what the heck happend to that elevator?did somebody put bricks in the shaft?
That was a piece of Schindler. It did sound like a unbalanced washing machine going down.
Going up second time is worse.
Oh my goddess!
I guess this beats Tyson corner mall's Macy's.
Isn't that Elevation Station Productions with you?
Yes it is!
I thought I recognized him!
Is this how Sants Monica kids spend their time?
The elevator sounds like a train 🚂
Is this a Schindler HXpress?
Nope
0:47 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That sounds like my washing machine
Sounds like an out of balance GE washer
its pulling blommingdales
They need to modernize this elevator very much and fix mechanical stuff.
time for a new elevator !!!!!!!!!!
nah. id say repairs will do it good, poor elevator.
DUUDE don’t jump in the elevator that makes things worse...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alex Alex acting crazy
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
the elevator is just fine.it has a lubricant problem with the tube and its connection and when it goes to slow speed(and its only 2 stops which means the speed doesnt go to high speed almost at all) it does this noise.
No, it has completely lost or broken one of its guide shoes. But where is its protection circuit???
HHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. **scrape**
Was that josh tomoyatsu with you
BayStateElevators yes that’s me
It's a Filechia RIPOFF!! I didn't hear anything since I was here.
U THOUGHT THAT WAS FUN? I think I would have passed out!
Same
Ultimate Low On Oil
This is why I don't like Schindler that much :/
