BRAND SPANKEN NEW Otis Gen3 MRL Traction Elevators at Universal's Stella Nova Resort in Orlando, FL

Filmed on March 2nd, 2025.

Well, here we are folks. The moment you've all been waiting for! The first of three hotels that were built as part of Universal's New Theme Park, Epic Universal is FINALLY OPEN, and now we get to ride the first of MANY Gen3s to come to Universal property in the coming years! This is now my 4th building I've been to with Otis Gen3 (there is a building in NJ I haven't uploaded my video of yet and I haven't made it to the new Polynesian Tower yet), and out of all of the Gen3's I've been on so far, these are EASILY my favorite! Not only do these have the futuristic new chimes and unique motor pitch and significantly improved ride quality Gen3s have that seperate them from Gen2, these things have VERY NICE Cabs with textured mirrored walls in the back of them, and unlike most other new Otises I've ridden, these actually use STANDARD Microtouch buttons rather than the VR buttons. I'm SO GLAD that they did this as it makes these elevators feel both more Luxurious and Higher Quality. Now, that's not to say that these elevators don't feel cheap in some respects, one of the elevators here has a VERY LOOSE COP, and all of the elevators here had some weird controller glitch where they'd take forever to close and they'd nudge right when the door closes. Idk why this is, it's definitely a bit strange but hopefully this is something that can be fixed as this hotel and Otis work out the kinks on these new elevators. Elevators aside, this hotel was pretty nice too. I LOVED the Spaceship vibe of the lobby a lot, and the hallways and exterior both look really cool too. Universal/Loews have always killed it when it came to theming their hotels, and this one is absolutely no exception, and a very welcome addition to Universal Property. I do eventually plan to stay here for a night and make a Full Hotel Tour & Review of this property, but for now, I hope you guys enjoy my video of these elevators, and stay tuned for videos of the Terra Luna and Helios Grand when both of those hotels open up as well!

Installed in 2024-2025.
