Yeah, I think they have the worlds fastest elevators but I'm not really sure. I also read somewhere that they had double decker elevators. Again, I'm not sure. We need Fury back to give us the scoop on what going down inside!

Hi all.

Thanks Aleks - how ya doin'.

BD elevators - I don't know much but here is what I've heard.
56 elevators total
At least 2 double decker
The fastest in the world - I've heard a number of speeds
The highest elevator in the world - named Pega hoist (BS4 in the plans) - top stop is section 18B at 636.9 meters

Here is the elevator schedule (very blurry) and a info list from level 160 that only shows some lifts.
Thanks to whoami for the schedule and Imre for the info ist.

Talk about windy.

Pizzuti · #**7998** Posted **Nov 20, 2009, 5:35 AM**

They guy in the video said that it was the tower shaking and not his hands, so does that mean that people living or staying in the upper portion of the building will experience practically constant movement?

Lindberg · #**7999** Posted **Nov 20, 2009, 7:53 AM**

Any picture of the building at night? Does it have an interesting lighting design?
