Taipe 101 Elevator is 30% faster. Burj makes 60 Floors in 30 seconds and Taipe makes 80 Floors in the same time.
-
Tower of Terror at Disney is the fastest.
-
Is it Otis elevonic 411?
-
wow long fall
-
These elevators are not the fastest in the world. The manufacturer Otis states on his website that they are doing 35 km/h. The elevators in the Taipei 101 building travel almost double that speed upwards, to be precise 60 km/h. Down they are still a bit faster with 36 km/h.

you need a special card or something to access the 101th floor cuz it's the floor where some VVIPs lived, just like the shit in the movie xD
-
Maybe it's a floor that's not open for visitors
-
no, i live in dubai 110 is just a floor for offices for the mayor/president sheikh mohammed
-
boy, that escalated quickly...
-
What a magnificent view! :D
-
-I'm gonna jump -do a flip!!
-
No sure - and also I didnt notice that there was no 110! Very observant!
-
Is 110 an unlucky number in the UAE? (13 is considered an unlucky number in the USA, so high-rise buildings do not have a 13th floor.)
-
Yes, it's Otis .
-
Otis I saw.the documentary
-
good question and whilst I am not 100% sure as it was over 1 year ago when I shot this video I think Otis yes - but dont quote me :-)
-
Which elevator company delivered this elevator? Otis?
-
Its funny because in my apartment block if I missed the lift, I would quickly run to the next floor beat the lift, and press at every floor on the way down! Childish I know - but v funny
-
I wonder if some naughty kid press buttons of all floors, it would be funny. I do it with my 6 story building only :)
