If those Pasternosters are the small platforms that you hop on and off of as they move up and down, then yes I've been on one a couple of years ago in Munich at the Siemens building and I think one in Antwerp at the Alcatel building. They would be a lawsuit waiting to happen in the U.S.

I agree with Premex that the Hollywood Tower ride is the scariest elevator there is.

I used to live in the Hancock building in Chicago and had to ride one of the high-speed elevators everyday to get to my 50th floor apartment. It took about a month to get used to the instant pressure difference and keep my ears from popping.
