In an unprecedented collaboration between KONE and SkyPoint, Australia’s tallest tower has introduced an extraordinary attraction – the KONE Digital Experience Display elevator.

KONE’s innovation transports passengers to the 77th floor of the Q1 Building on the Gold Coast in just 38 seconds, offering breathtaking views and an immersive journey.

Adam Daly, modernisation director at KONE, highlights the significance of the partnership with SkyPoint on this groundbreaking project. He notes that the collaboration brings Australia’s first-of-its-kind sustainable and immersive elevator experience to life.

“The KONE Digital Experience Car and KONE UltraRope technology represent a leap forward in elevator innovation and this collaboration not only enhances the visitor experience at SkyPoint but also aligns with our commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable practices across Australia’s built environment,” says Daly.

The KONE Digital Experience Car is not your average lift; it’s a portal to a multi-sensory adventure. Dynamic soundscapes envelop passengers upon entry, setting the stage for the journey ahead. Vivid colours project across the walls, while captivating themes unfold throughout the ride. It is an immersive experience that transforms the act of riding an elevator into a memorable event.

At the heart of this transportation system lies KONE’s UltraRope technology ­– a carbon fibre hoisting solution that replaces traditional steel ropes. This eco-friendly advancement not only reduces energy consumption but also cuts greenhouse gas emissions, benefiting both passengers and the planet. By reducing moving masses, UltraRope lowers acceleration currents and machine-room cooling requirements, leading to substantial energy savings. It also ensures precise floor levelling. Further enhancing these green benefits, the renovation includes energy-efficient machines with Ecodisc technology and the ReGenerate 800, collectively achieving energy efficiency of up to 95 per cent.

With the KONE Digital Experience Car, reaching the 77th floor of SkyPoint is not just a journey – it’s a race against time. Claimed to be Australia’s fastest elevator, clocking in at just 38 seconds, it represents a record-breaking feat that adds an extra layer of excitement to the experience.

Greg Yong, chief executive officer of SkyPoint, expressed his excitement about finally opening the new elevator for guests to experience.

“We are proud to introduce this groundbreaking elevator experience to our guests,” said Yong. “It reflects our commitment to innovation and enhances the overall visitor experience, making every trip to SkyPoint on Level 77 unforgettable.”

In addition to its remarkable speed, the project’s commitment to sustainability is equally impressive. Every aspect of the elevator, from the use of energy-efficient machines to the incorporation of eco-friendly materials, has been designed with environmental impact in mind. This project exemplifies how innovation can drive the creation of a greener, more sustainable future.

“As SkyPoint opens its doors, it is clear that we are witnessing the dawn of a new era in vertical transportation,” adds Daly. “With its blend of cutting-edge technology, immersive experiences and environmental consciousness, the KONE Digital Experience Display elevator is not just a ride; it is a glimpse into the future of urban mobility.”
