  • Filmed on June 6, 2018: Here we rode on these diagonal funicular elevators at the Luxor Pyramid Hotel & Casino. These were modernized since I filmed them in 2012, but the mod was still nicely done although I liked the old concave fixtures better. What’s more attractive is the ride quality feeling so funny that I don’t experience every day! 😂🤣😅 You see my body swaying back and forth while I was recording! :D You can also see through the doors and prove that these elevators travel diagonally like what Jowevator 3219 did. Anyways, enjoy! :D Installed in 1993, slightly modernized in around 2014.

    I think I remember riding this, and being highly disappointed that it looked and felt like a normal elevator to me. I wish they would have at least a small portion of the interior compartment made of glass so that you can see its unique mechanics. I guess they decided to do that on purpose so that people wouldn't get too freaked out.

    I don't know why but when you looked through the door, it looked like it was moving vertical. But still these are for sure inclines! Also what's funny was that the floor indicator at an angle, looked like it was telling you what direction this elevator moved!

    We have 3 on the cofc campus that I know of that does this one Cato where you can see the door shake and move along with see the floors through the doors has an intresting vibrating feel and Maybank where it feels slanted and you can the floors moving . up or down. The only other one I no of is Randolph Hall cofc but have not experinced it yet .

      So who got permission to ride these? Because I've been feeling that asking permission (in my case that is at least) has started to become increasingly hard not just because I could get denied, but also people are too reluctant to say yes which left me waiting for like 30 minutes up to possibly an hour to get approval by either the management or certain official...it is NOT easy. It's been happening like more than 7 times this year.

      So 16 total? So there are 8 elevators that move at 39 degrees angles and the other 8 that serve the lowest floors, 2-5, move straight up and down?

      Here's a layout. You can page serach elevator. Look right? Make sense? The reason I want detailed info or accurate info is because I like to find weird connections or coincidences and one weird one would be if there are 8 elevators that move at 39 degree angles.
