The worst elevator leveling on YouTube! The elevators at the Wonderland T Station in Revere, MA

Recorded on 3/31/23. William really wanted me to show these elevators at the end of the MBTA Subway blue line because of how much of a joke these elevators are! These are MRL Traction Elevators that are supposed to accelerate at 200 feet per minute. When the elevator is supposed to come to a stop, the elevator is supposed to glide to a stop as they level. Kind of like a reflex system on an MEI elevator. In the past, these elevators did just that! Unfortunately it seems like a technician messed something up while doing maintenance on these elevators as both of the elevators in this video only go about 90 feet per minute. These elevator still attempt to perform the glide stop but fail miserably due to the lack of acceleration. Just watch how much of a joke the leveling on these elevators are! I have been on many hydraulic elevators at accelerate much faster than this! Fortunately this issue can be fixed especially since this is still a great installation. Once the proper systems on these elevators are fixed they should run like they used to at 200 feet per minute. Enjoy this extravaganza!
