Five Different Thyssenkrupp / Vertical Express Hydraulic Elevators - Echota Resort (Boone, NC)

That's right, not one, not two, but 5 of these damn things. Technically speaking there are 8 in this block of apartments/condos, but I only filmed 5 out of the 8.

These are all TK Vertical Express installs, likely all done by United. 4 of the 5 have TK New Traditional Buttons (minus the 2 that have MAD BS for the Call Stations), while the other one has MAD Atoll. Most of these don't run the best, but the other few run fine. It's strange how these buildings are right next to each other, yet each one was built in a different year from one another.
