400 Subs/300th Video! FAMOUS & AWESOME Glass Otis Traction Elevators @ Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, GA

(7-15-23)

Today remarks 2 new Milestones reached! First of all, thank you everyone so much for helping me reach 400 Subscribers. This would've not been made without you guys so this means so much to me! And second, today remarks my 300th video on YouTube! Thank you guys so much for enjoying my past 300 videos over the few years of this channel! And thanks everyone for both of these milestones. Both of these would've not been made without you guys!


To celebrate 2 new milestones apparently at the same time, let's ride some famous elevators that have been all over YT! Starting off we have the Hyatt Regency, one of the famous elevators that was filmed a lot since 1993. And these are some modernized Otis elevators. These elevators are very unique and fast for the amount of floors they serve, and they are very fun to ride sometimes. Unfortunately, these elevators are obviously key-carded, which made me want to stay here for the night, but sadly the booking was full when I was trying to look for a room, but hey, I still had fun on these, and at least these were a little busy during this video, which is how I got many rides as much as possible while I'm here. 2 of these elevators (cars 1 and 5) serve the Polaris level and car 5 was used as the Polaris Express elevator, which unfortunately I could not ride because of a desk, and I tried to get permission to ride that one and the lady told me that I could ride it during the restaurants non-operating hours (which I didn't have time for because I was only in Atlanta for 1 night) and the restaurant was busy at the time so that's why I couldn't ride. But one thing cool to make it up for going up to Polaris, I was on elevator 1 and I was just taking a normal ride up to 22 and I noticed that after pressing LL3 to go back down, I noticed I couldn't go back down because it was going up, and after noticing that it was going up, I stayed inside to see if it was going up and it was! I was honestly shocked and lucky that I randomly went up to Polaris, because normally not everyone makes it up to Polaris on that elevator because it's always locked and the only way to go up to Polaris in that car is when it gets a call, which is how I got up there. These are very nice elevators for a Hyatt Regency and the cabs on these are so beautiful! I really love the beautiful atrium in this place, which was designed by John Portman.
