Scenic Otis "Yellow Bug" Elevators at The Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls ON (With views from the top)

Today is my 5th Anniversary on YouTube, It's hard to believe that I've been on YouTube for 5 Years. I Thought these elevators would be a good fit since they are so special. I Would like to thank everyone who's been watching my videos and supporting me, I really appericiate it.

These are the elevators at The Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls , Ontario. A Freestanding Tower with an Observation Deck & 2 Restaraunts. This free-standing structure opened it's doors in 1965. The tower is 520 Feet (160 Metres) Tall from Street Level & 775 Feet (236 Metres) from the bottom of Niagara Falls.

These are some very nice scenic Otis Traction Elevators. These are probably some of the most amazing elevators I've seen in Niagara Falls , Ontario. These originally had Lexan Fixtures and were installed in the Mid 1960s, Between 2009 & 2010 these have been modernized with Series 2 Fixtures. I find it very interesting that the doors are curved. There are 3 Elevators that go up to the top but they aren't a set, all 3 of the elevators are spread out. These do have operators running them and I didn't bother asking them if I could press the buttons. These elevators run good. These elevators are often referred to as "The Yellow Bug" Elevators because the exterior of these elevators are painted yellow. In this video I rode in elevator 2 on the way up & elevator 3 on the way back down. I Also got some views from the observation deck. These elevators go from the bottom to the top and vice-versa in 52 seconds.
