[2023][R2] Dong Yang Escalators · Plasa Simpanglima, Semarang (Plasa I)

Date taken: September 10, 2023 2023 take; published for historical purposes. A full 1080p60 retake. Mostly the same as my previous takes, but some of the direction indicators no longer work, and the one going up from 4 to 5 had its energy saver removed. Two down escalators were powered on every weekend, while the other two are derelict. Back in 2023, I wrote "MGW" for the model entry. I remember obtaining it from a video of an identical Dong Yang escalator in South Korea, it has been taken down unfortunately. I've never been here again since this was taken, but according to Leonardo's comment in VT Elevators' video of Lift E89-GS (   • GoldStar (Mod: SIGMA) Traction Passenger L...  ), all commercial floors of Plasa I (L1 - L5) are now defunct. VT did not film the escalators and scenic elevators, so it seems like they are no longer accessible. Probably a result of final anchor Matahari closing by the end of 2024, as noted by Setiap Gedung Punya Cerita ( https://setiapgedung.id/2020/03/plasa... ). Brand: Dong Yang Model: 10MGW (?)
