Lemerbrix: Fun fact: there's a working lego escelator in a lego friends set!
BKu: Slow down the escalator, it moves way to fast compared to a real escalator and the minifig size.
glowy the glowbug: pretty cool thanks!
tom the cyber humandrone: This exactly what i was looking for when i was a kid
Lim Ching Liang: Sariel, got Dune Ornithopter / Venator review coming soon?
SCOP_: Maybe add something with rubber bands to stop the vibrations from knocking over the mini figs
Saruzeufel: Have you tried driving it from the bottom instead of from the top? Sometimes the small change in where the slack of the chain is does the trick
crazy technic: maybe more tension on the belt will help
or try this: lego slope 1-x-2 with plate
Cooper Van Bonn: Forgot I had wanted something like this!!
Kevin Reid: It looks like if the belt were somehow pulled down or constrained against the slope, the steps would be closer to the intended angle — right now the belt is free to float above its intended path, right?
ZeratKJ: nice idea, for a 1st (presented) iteration works good :)
Give it a nights sleep and you will figure it out
ayman ed draouy: like who has noticed the LEGO Building Techniques
?
LEGOman893: i like the concept, sariel's builds truly can never let you down
Racernator De: I think I once saw someone else build a working escalator, but at a much larger scale (Perhabs twice in size). Can't remember who it was though
guy990: Would Lego GBC elevator mechanisms work in this case
Sebrenity: Increasing the wheel diameter, if possible, may help the lurching as the chain bends and straightens which will make minifigs less likely to fall over

Would using a 2x1 45degree double slope isntead of the single slope perhaps work better if correctly oriented?
Fang the Warrior: Where's the mayonnaise? hehe
Machina: the belt needs more tension or weight to pull it down over the track
Adrian_ Zombturtle: That's bad
