1999-2000 ThyssenDover Impulse Hydraulic Elevator at Gatlinburg Town Square (Gatlinburg, TN)
This, like the Series 1, is one of the newer add on elevators. While I like me an Impulse, this and the Series 1 pale in comparison to the ?️?️?️?️?️'s Here. Also the slow ass door operator makes the whole thing kinda slow feeling, even if the ride up/down isn't that slow. I think this would work better as an SPF Traction Model instead. At least it runs fine.

This is a "hidden" elevator here in the back of the Cinebarre / Regal, so hidden only three other people have filmed this. lol
This elevator looks like a later install and not 1994 like I thought. This has Series 220 fixtures, the Adams chime, a horrible and noisy door operator, and the LED Indicator with a Scrolling Arrow! This runs much better than the MK Conventional outside of the place.

While driving, I noticed this building had an elevator, which I thought was weird. It's in a weird spot too, being near East Ridge Mall!
On the inside, we get another 321Lame elevator. While the motor is loud, which seems to be a common theme with these, this is frankly nothing to write home about.

Okay, what is with Otis modding their Series 1's down here in Asheville with M2??? And they're all from 1989! All I see is money just wasting away, though I may see a reason for this mod giving this is a parking garage.
Once again, this is so boRing. It's literally the same cabs as the other modded Otises seen previously in Downtown Asheville. However, this one has some weird issues like the drop off when stepping out of the Elevator on the 4th floor, which leads to steps... like huh???

Wow, this came not too long after the main surprise, which will be unveiled tomorrow!
Prior to the one I found on 7/11, this was only my 2nd "NEL". Unlike the other one in Asheville Commons, this one is a lot noisier and a little bouncy. Not the best running thing, but could be a lot worse. With that being said, this was a neat surprise!

This is the new and never before filmed The Cherokee Hotel, which is apart of Harrah's Cherokee Hotel and Casino! These are some basic Kone escalators. There's a set that serves the 1st through 2nd floor, and then a set that serves the 2nd and 3rd floors. Since the 1st floor has a desk directly near the escalators on the bottom half, I only ridden the top half.

Wow, this elevator is falling apart. I see this elevator being modded in a few years to be completely honest. Riding quality isn't much better either. People obviously love this elevator though for the fixtures, but is this elevator good? HELL NO! I was glad to see another Vector after 1 & 1/2 years of seeing my last Vector don't get me wrong, but this is not a good starting point.
NOTE: I said "it doesn't look in the worst condition" before I noticed the 1st floor lantern missing. lol

Don't remember the location of this one, but oh well. It was key carded anyway.
Though a simple 3 Story Hydro elevator, I like these. It runs smoothly, but it does need some cleaning on the inside. You may also recognize the down chime from the intro in this elevator as well, but this is the elevator I used for my Dover Impulse Intro!

Discovered that this place has a SHIT TON of these Northern/TK elevators here installed from 2007 to 2008. I only decided to film one, but one day, I may film ALL.
This is the first time I've ridden one of these and it's rather unique. The Call Panels are strange EPCO Circlelines, meanwhile everything else is different. The Indicators are rather interesting, and so are the Interior Buttons and I like the Dotted Innovation Arrow Laterns. This would be a lot better if it wasn't so mute besides the fan. No motor or machinery sounds at all! It's also a bit glitchy with the direction.
This could be a Traction, but I'm entirely unsure due to the lack of machinery noises.
I also here these are Canadian Elevators, which is rather cool. I'm guess these likely are here because I heard that ThyssenKrupp bought them out, which is likely why these are here despite being Canadian based. Rather interesting though!
