Taipei 0030 - The Word's Fastest Elevators

The World's Fastest Elevators, at 38 m.p.h. are embedded in the world's new tallest building Taipei 101. They are also double - deckered, flying two floors of occupants at the same time for the 10,000+ capacity building. The 63 elevators cost more than $2,000,000 each but can fly visitors to the observation level on the 89th floor in a heartpounding 39 seconds. The return ride is a somewhat poky 22 m.p.h. The Parking lot below the structure can hold 1839 automobiles and 2,990 motorcycles.
