Rough but Awesome 2001 ThyssenDover VR Hydraulic Elevators at One Mallard Pointe (Charlotte NC)

This was the biggest unexpected surprise of the day. I marked this place not knowing what they have. And I was blown away to find Late ThyssenDovers with DOVER VR!

These cabs look gorgeously awesome and the fixture choice is king! To my disappointment though, the first cab I rode ran like utter shit. Thankfully the 2nd cab I got ran so much better and I got to take in the glory of these cabs. These could definitely use some better maintenance because whoever is maintaining these isn't doing a good job. But I won't let that fully take away from how beautiful and epic these cabs are disregarding the ride quality of the 1st one.

I think the Service Cab is disabled for public use as I was unable to ride it. There is a back entrance, but it requires a scan of a FOB/Keycard to Call it on the backside.
