Michael Walters Elevators, Roblox, and More

I was recently at the Wave Pool in Richmond Hill AKA the Lois Hancey Aquatic Centre with my camp,

This 1991 OTIS Series 1 has been Modernized; presumably last year. And it’s a pretty interesting mod too, the elevator utilizes MAD BS Moon button fixtures, Except the Door Open and Close Buttons, which have Dual Functions. Besides opening and closing the door, they also are used as “YES”, and “NO” Buttons, Which is beneficial for the hearing impaired to communicate with the other end of the emergency phone line.

What I find interesting is the elevator has Two Cameras in the rear corners of the ceiling, both serve a different purpose. One is tied into the Building’s CCTV system, and the other is used for the Two-Way Communication system.

Another intriguing thing about this elevator, it seems to have the ThyssenKrupp Northern Chime box, even though ThyssenKrupp Northern hasn’t been a thing since 2017. I assume MAD decided to carry it on, and no this was not a TKE Mod, in fact I have no guesses who did the mod.

But the Wave pool was closed for quite some time after the Pandemic, Until the summer of 2024 as a matter of fact. Given the time frame I was already assuming they modded this thing. It runs pretty well, and the cab looks a lot nicer than the Series 1 did, as that just had Black Wall panels and a Flourescent lit Drop Ceiling.
