Thank you so much for making this video. My family and I used to come here every year since I was 13. My brother, cousin, and I would play tag on these elevators! It’s so nice to see how I remember it 💜

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

I believe "Banjo" referrs to one that slips as it starts and/or stops, giving you that not-so-smooth feeling.

I’ve ridden those elevators, I live an hour away in Georgetown Kentucky, not everyone in our state is a drunk hillbilly, it’s nice.

I have to agree. It is a beautiful hotel. It is awesome how a fitness center is up on the 18th floor

these are my favorite elevators to ride!

I rode this last week! That part where you go through the ceiling is freaky.

That's my favorite hotel! I used to go down there every summer but we havn't been in about 3 years.

I really like the lantern chime on the 16th floor.

These are amazing!

love the colour of the PTL buttons

These Elevators are Traction Elevators!

And they are expensive. 118 dollars is the cheapest rn i got the 2 room suite with balcony. They throttle wifi and parking is 20 dollars/night

Once a banjo always a banjo! :)

It's called the Club 360 Fitness on the 18th floor.

Cool!

Nice Adams survivor mod.

You should come back to louisville one day. They have some VERY interesting elevator. I went to one hotel, and they had speaking elevators!

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

The door operator sounds like a Dover door operator.

@georgef551 Banjo is the term for any Dover traction or any bad traction elevator. All Dover tractions are banjos, whereas with OTIS, Monty, etc., only the bad ones are banjos.

i like when u get to the cieling.

Video response: (R) AWESOME 1985 Dover Traflomatic II Traction Elevators at the Uptown Tower in Albuquerque, NM

I've been in that very elevator before lol.

Have You Been To Newport KY? Because I'm Going There This Thursday.

i like the elevator

YT user HyruleEscalators&Elevators filmed here! :)

@TJElevatorfan i agree. riding this elevator would be fun. sometimes the highest floors do different things. their lobby is spectacular. how do you take a still while you are filming?

My friend was asking why you didn't get off at 18. And 2 more things. 1, that beep is annoying. It sounds like a smoke alarm. And 2, I think the service elevators are banjos. And the main ones were modded by Murphy.

These used to be Dover classic

@Balarick either take a photo on 2nd ride when not filming or dad takes a photo with iPhone.

I saw some elevators at 2:22; are those staff only elevators?

@suzzex Oh, The slipping is what I thought it meant, because the Banjo listed lifts I seen, had jerky camera movement, from jerky operation. I figured the cables, when slipping, vibrate like "Banjo Strings" when that happens. Guess the def is a little more open than just that. One of the Best Westerns in NYC had big-time ones. I nearly jammed my knee stepping into one of theirs. It was the one touted as World's Largest BW in the mid 80's.

These are fast elevators

A door which opens and closes is doing sound like the wind

This elevators was modernize by Kone.

Maybe a banjo ???

How can you tell these are Dover? I do notice the Dover Repulse (that's what I like to call Dover Vandal Resistant) fixtures but everything else appears to be Fujitec. Most high buildings like this use Fujitec elevators. These might be FujiDovers. LOL!

You should have gone on the service elevators as seen at 2:22 while you were there because they appear to be original.

Superstitious people would probably sue the hotel if it included a 13th floor because they wouldn't want to live on a floor with a number that represents bad luck.
