- shaunxcode 17y agoI think we can both agree that frontscalator makes more sense.
- jodrellblank 17y agoI think transcalator fits together more nicely. (Edit: or maybe flatscalator)
- isleyaardvark 17y agoI think parallelscalator has a nice ring to it.
- ramchip 17y agoSome are concurrent, but hardly all of them!
- jodrellblank 17y agoSince you must go on one then the next: serialscalators?
- billybob 17y agoUnless you like to ride it facing the wrong way. Then it's a backscalator. Or is that the one going the other way?
- DanielStraight 17y agoI'll have to admit, I've never thought about that. I like the suggestions given so far though.
- Groxx 17y agoI sort of like orthogonalscalators, because it's huge and people seem happy to abuse "orthogonal". Plus, it brings strange things to mind when you mention that there are two or three of them in parallel...
- prawn 17y agoExcuse the serious response for a sec, but they're 'travelators' for those who are unsure.
- nitrogen 17y agoWhy not simply "sidescalator"?
