Have you ever tried running up the esclator that goes down? Its quite the workout.

I guess it depends on the escalator. I once tried walking normally up a down escalator and I made it to the top much quicker than I anticipated. Granted it was more "steps" but typically an escalator goes slow enough to where if you change your mind you can turn around and get off of it.

What I find to be really fun are those travelator things in the airport. Its like an escaltor but its flat like a conveyor belt and it saves you from having to walk the LONG length of the building from one terminal to the next. I actually ran on one of those things trying to catch my plane and when you run on something that is already moving forward you can make up some serious time!

Those are called horizontalators.

this reminds me of dumb and dumber, when Lloyd is pretending to run in the '84 sheepdog :p




EDIT: can we change the name of this thread to elevators, escalators and horizontalators?
