Another video of the ThyssenKrupp Velino escalators at the city's big mall/multi-use complex. This time featuring the ones in the northwest atrium, the big one with the main escalator area, and built in the late-2000s expansion. All topped by an enourmous skylight, and with breathtaking views from the top.
I didn't do a full tour of all the units in order due to security, time and traffic, the ones from 2 to 3 weren't refilmed for that reason. I had to take these videos separately. But anyway, that isn't a huge loss, I got the most important here.
More info about the mall itself and about the escalators can be found on the first video of the other set here:
• ThyssenKrupp Velino North Wing Escalators ...
and the elevators:
• Epic, Scenic ThyssenKrupp Frequencedyne Tr...
These don't differ much from the other sets, so what I said in the first video is also valid for these. I mean, they're more of the same, just in a different part of the mall.
In this area, levels 3 and C (or 4) are parking areas, all public access. The upper escalators don't have all that demand for use, most of the time they're running slowly on power-saving.
Level 2 has a second food court at this end, more focused on the high-end restaurants. Level E1 leads to a gallery with service stores, an access to level E2 on the back and the parking garages on both E levels (basements).
One thing to note that they do here in all the escalators, is alternating the directions, as in, each day, they're running in the inverse order of the previous day. The ones going up will be set for down tomorrow, then up again on the other day, and vice-versa. It's a bit annoying sometimes when getting used, especially as these don't have any direction indicators at all.
There is only one other specific set I didn't re-film, which are the two Orinoco treadmills going down from E1 to E2, located in the back corridors on E1. They were turned off now, as the supermarket that used to be there has closed and was being reworked to host some other different tenant, effectively making them not very useful anymore, but still open for passengers to use when going down to E2. Supposedly they were preparing that space to some other grocery store, so...
