Rode up the Taipei 101 today. Boy, those world's fastest elevators are FAST! From zero to 89th floor in 37 seconds! That's 390 meters up in almost an instant!! I have been up to many of the world's tallest structures and nothing compares even closely to those elevators. They were ridiculously fast.
For few seconds they were traveling at the top speed of 1010m/min or 16.83m/s, but most of the ride they were just breaking. What was incredible was that my ears didn't even pop, so the elevators were really well sealed!
The views from above were great (day and night view) but those elevators were really da bomb!
