I remember as a child going up the down escalator, not far and not if there were people waiting. but it was fun. Looking down when you’re on a moving escalator is also fun but can be dangerously mesmerizing. Two classic escalator scenes are from “Elf” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duiRmGxeWSQ) and one of Cato in another Pink Panther movie trying to go up the escalator while wearing fake glasses that distort his vision. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that one.
Things are escalating in Philadelphia

I’m trying to remember if I’ve been seen or been on a gold one…I don’t think so. I usually take the stairs up or walk up them if I can and ride them down to save my knees. 😀
I think most of them tend to be dark/black and silver but they can be quite useful, especially when you get tired or have trouble with stairs. Then there are the flat ones in airports.
I like the flat ones b/c somehow they make you walk faster on them.😄
I have never seen a golden elevator!
It must be the modern version of the “Stairway To Heaven”!
Fun, Janet!
Ha! I’ve seen golden elevator doors but escalators like this one are often silver and black at least in my memory rather than this gold.
Same!
I have no recollection of seeing gold escalators
I think it’s probably the only one or at least the gold ones are only in this hotel. 🙂
I have never seen a gold one either!
Went with the rest of the hotel decor but still rather fancy. 🙂
I can imagine that
