Brand new!! 2020 KONE Minispace DX high-speed elevs. @ Näsinneula tower in Särkänniemi, Tampere FIN

The observation tower Näsinneula is known as the tallest free-standing structure in Finland (168 m height), and as the tallest observation tower in the Nordic countries as far, after the closure of Kaknästornet in Stockholm, Sweden in 2018. This tower was built between 1970-1971, and the amusement park Särkänniemi was opened in 1975.
The original brand of these elevators were Valmet-Schlieren, being their tallest installation. They were modernised by Otis in 1997, with a few updates in the machinery, like replacing the motor-generator rectifier (AC-DC) with a more modern components. In recent years, their technologies started more to wear out and the maintenance started to become more expensive, it was decided to replace them some day. However, during the COVID-19 epidemic in Finland, Särkänniemi and Näsinneula tower stayed closed for a bit longer, and so, they had enough time to replace the elevator just before the 2020 season opening, with a smaller number of visitors at a time.
According to the serials, the elevators were not replaced at the same time, the first been replaced a few months before the second one. These elevators have such an amazing cab design, showing awesome animations, with an interesting background music.
