Green KDS! Kone MonoSpace 3000S MRL Traction elevator at Macquarie Centre, Macquarie Park, NSW

Recorded on September 28, 2024
Welcome to the last month of the year, otherwise known as December (and the month of Christmas)! There is no Advent Calendar planned for me yet, but there will be one coming in 2025 so stay tuned until the end of next year if you want it! Since I wanted to check out Macquarie Centre just for these lifts, I finally end up in the place where KMQC was born (despite the codename named KMQC and not anything like KAU4 or similar) with these lovely MonoSpaces! These were quite busy, but thanks to an update on my phone's camera system, I can just pause it like how my first camera that started my channel! The camera was a Samsung Galaxy S20 which unexpectedly had UHD as 4K, but let's just get away from a whole camera talk and go into the lifts themselves.

As most of these centre lifts are Kone MonoSpaces with KDS 50 (and the crappy segmented LCD which doesn't even look nice compared to KDS 330), they appear to have green KDS 300 (-AUS) buttons! Normally, you'd find either red or white (depends on what indicator the lift has) and not even anything like blue or green. These aren't even fully green, unlike the Kone in Westfield Mount Gravatt (filmed by TheDragonFire123 and such) which even has green LED indicators! I forgive how the centre designers wanted the lift to look since most is white, but I guess the colour LCD on one panel which just shows the centre info only instead of floors looks a bit better than the suck-up segmented LCD. Still very nice, as one has the Kone High-Rise voice (or Myer Liverpool voice) and the other using the latest voice. Even if they're busy, I'm cool with these lifts since they have rare coloured buttons and such.
