Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Since I'm old enough to remember the 17 July 1981 Hyatt Regency skywalk collapse in Kansas City, MO, you couldn't pay me enough to get on something like this. Especially when I know it would have been built by the lowest bidder.

Were this to be built... how could it run?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to wait until every door on every car was closed before it could move.
Imagine the hassle of current elevators multiplied 100 times.
This thingy is basically a Paternoster lift scaled up.
ReplyDeleteWith all the advantages and also disadvantages scaled up as well.
Ironmistress;
ReplyDeleteMore like a paternoster crossbred with a Ferris wheel. And like that legendary piece of amusement-park equipment, what do you do if it gets stuck?
Even a lift based on the idea of that little exercise wheel in a hamster cage would make more sense than this thing. Especially if there's a fire.
