Not impressed. Show me a curved elevator then I'll be impressed!

We kinda have one in Canada. Well not exactly a curve, but it travels at an incline and then straight up.

The peace tower in Ottawa.

In 1981, a new inclined elevator was installed. It travels on a 10° angle for the first 98 feet (30 m), shifting its position horizontally 12 feet 2.25 inches (3.715 m), and straight up for the 60 feet 9 inches (18.52 m) remainder of the climb. The elevator car stays level at all times during its movement because it has a gimbal-mounted double frame.

Fucking cool. I'm impressed now, and thanks for the info. Your comment can probably be a post on its own.
