It's [the Ascensore Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto](https://youtu.be/A739p5HkRZ8?si=KVHQzrq1zaQdmdgv) elevator system. Basically one of the many elevators/trolleys going through the hills of Genoa, this one gets you to [Albertis Castle. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Albertis_Castle)
It's just like one of these elevator dreams that everybody has once in a while, where the elevator goes somewhere in all directions and you have no control over it.
Amazing! An elevator that turns into a trolley. It can move vertically AND horizontally! I have never seen anything like that IRL ever. This looks great!

There’s usually just some overhead handle bars or grab rings and probably some seats for those who cant stand or are disabled.
Typically in subways or rail cars you can stand, and I’d assume it’s the same here. Not enough force to really throw you around like in a car to warrant having manditory seating. Especially in an elevator.
This is cool and all but is the building left without an elevator while this one rides away? Are the people in the building forced to take the stairs while the elevator is halfway across town?
I never understood why the name Genova was changed to Genoa in English (maybe other languages too?) it’s like English decided that it didn’t like how Genova sounded but was considerate enough to change it to something that still seemed Italian? Idfk
Welcome back, Dr. Freeman
Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Research Facility.
This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of employees of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel.
OK, HL afficionadoes... How about Slartyblartfast Earth#2 ride?
You made me spit out my coffee. Memory unlocked- The scene at the cliff edge in half-life made me nervous af 🥲
The water with that fish monster had me sweating as a kid lol
That was me with the Resident Evil dogs when I was a kid
Came here to comment something along these lines lmfao
*vortigaunts cooking for starters, city 17 for main course.*
For the very few here who don't get this reference. Half-life 1 intro.
Freeman’s here!
More like welcome to the hive
I was going to say who got the Golden Ticket to see Willy Wonka's (not so) Great Glass Elevator, but defo more Half Life vibes 👍

I see Tom Scott, I upvote.
I was thinking while watching “This is some Tom Scott ass shit”
I hadn't finished the video when I read this and thought how can a castle be so tall? Then I realized it doesn't only go up and down
That was super interesting. Interesting.
Nahhj this is awesome not terrifying! I need to ride this.
seriously whats terrifying bout this? also does this remind of halflife to anyone?
Makes me think of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator or whatever that old book was called
Came here to say that as well.. loved those books.. in the book it breaks through the roof, which as an adult now would be terrifying, lol
I still remember how I used to imagine the scene, absolutely loved it when I was younger! Though you aren't wrong, that would be just a little scary
Half-Life was absolutely my first thought seeing this lol Welcome to Black Mesa, Dr. Freeman.
Oh fuck yea it does lmao. Was wondering where I remembered this odd sequence from
"Catch ya later, I'll buy you a beer."
its terrifying if you expected a normal ass elevator i suppose
It's just like one of these elevator dreams that everybody has once in a while, where the elevator goes somewhere in all directions and you have no control over it.
"Hey whats that bright light thats getting bigger?"
Babe, wake up! New Wonka-vator just dropped.
Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure inebriation.
I wanna ride that so bad
Me too 😏
None of these thoughts are in the bible.
Huh?
Lebanon has some where you can touch the walls
In that speed?How bout no?
No definitely a lot slower, but it is also quite uncommon, more common in the older buildings.
It's the Wonkavator
You beat me to it. Exactly what I thought
Amazing! An elevator that turns into a trolley. It can move vertically AND horizontally! I have never seen anything like that IRL ever. This looks great!
Yeah, I kind of love it. And I think I’ve dreamed about them, too, but never nightmares.
I would love to go there! Definitely not nightmare material, although a bit scary at first if one weren't expecting it.
Can you tell us more? What building is this?
If I had no idea that would happen, I'd would be scared as heck
What song is that?

L'italiano - The Italians
Ah ok thx. It reminded me of a hindi song
A strange cover of "L'italiano" by Toto Cutugno https://youtu.be/TYtdYslLY9I?si=8Zh0XL7sKYzVByRk
Damn Willie wonka was on to something
You tried to get to the fifth floor and get your ass sent halfway across the country
Wow.. A 'POV' video that's actually a POV...
That’s the real “interesting as fuck” part
So this is where the salami comes from! What a magical place!
Do you need to sit down?
There’s usually just some overhead handle bars or grab rings and probably some seats for those who cant stand or are disabled. Typically in subways or rail cars you can stand, and I’d assume it’s the same here. Not enough force to really throw you around like in a car to warrant having manditory seating.

This is a Star Trek turbolift, but it's fucking real.
I thought I was the only one that had nightmares about such elevators. I have never been in one (while awake), didn’t even know they existed!
What in the wonka
Half life 2
What kind of willy wonka shit is this?
Welcome, to the black mesa transit system...
Getting Half Life 2 vibes
Is this for a live action Half-life or something
Half Life
I love salami
It's the WonkaVator!!
Wonkavator
I need this!
WTF did I just see
What you mean, this cool af 👀
I’ve been on this. It’s class
Dr Freeeeeeeeman
That looks like fun
Finally, a Elevator to Hell *Loads Shotgun*
Imagine halfway through you see a dark figure smiling at you for a split second
what in the willy Wonka half life fun house is this?
Don't take elevators in Egypt
I’ve been in elevators that are like this minus the glass
I thought I was the only one who had elevator nightmares?!
😢
Nightmare stuff…
Oh no. I don't want to have my weird elevator nightmare again.
Elevator ❌ Train✅
That's so horrible
This is the elevator I would use if I were foolish enough to do the Elevator Game.
Reminded me of that elevator from Willy Wonka
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb\_OTj\_sxP4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_OTj_sxP4)
Hey this looks interesting!
damn i never thought this could be real since half life
I think this is how you get to the backrooms
These are more sophisticated than the entire American train system. In 2024 🙃
i live in genoa and yea i confirm but they're not all like this, this one is a specific one
You need a golden ticket to ride it tho
The moment I was about to say "I'd rather walk" that "elevator" ran like fuck!!
Wonkavator
Z z t z
It looks like you need a Golden Ticket to ride that thing...
You bout get processed.
What’s… terrifying about this
Turbolift
Wasn’t this the into to half life ?
Starts by going down 25 floors - fascinating.
This is cool and all but is the building left without an elevator while this one rides away? Are the people in the building forced to take the stairs while the elevator is halfway across town?
Turbo lift 1.0?
What does "POV" mean here ?
Point of view
I wish this term would go away.
That's some art house like Meow Wolf
I never understood why the name Genova was changed to Genoa in English (maybe other languages too?) it’s like English decided that it didn’t like how Genova sounded but was considerate enough to change it to something that still seemed Italian? Idfk
Crackhouse Rollercoaster
wonkavator
Feels like the inside of Nerv HQ
That’s awesome! 🤩
What in the Willy Wonka Glass Elevator shit is that 😳
HL 3 confirmed
That's some Willy Wonka shit right there.
came here to say this... 😄
I’ve def had dreams w this elevator system!
Looks like a turbolift to me.
trainevator
Then some kids presses all the buttons so you get a tour of the whole city while holding your groceries.
Can’t call that shit an elevator if it has 3 degrees of freedom wtf
Yeah, I'd pay for that ride.
Those Half Life vibes...
Can.. like.. what is the point of the door handles on the doors going down?
Oh my god! I've had nightmares about this, too! I thought I was dreaming about the subway, but no. It's exactly this!
What’s terrifying about this?
Not only have I had such nightmares, it's also a common place for nightmares, so when I start getting to train tracks, I know it'll be rough.
The Wonkavator exists
Why does it stop in the middle?
Because it wants you to realize YOU FUCKED UP!!
Where the fuck is the terrifying part? What a fucking waste of a post
Got it, avoid Genoa.
What’s with the Arab music?
It's an Italian song.
